Music in the air/Einstein
QD's very own Stephon Alexander is also a San Francisco jazz musician. He
posts
recordings of his last performance, so you can now hear the beautiful
sounds that emerge from this physicist's saxophone. Caolionn O'Connell was
there and writes,
"With all that musical talent, it seems Stephon was predestined to be an
amazing physicist."
Peter Steinberg, another multi-talented diarist, posts
laptop-edited music that sounds just right for dancing, walking around New
York, or watching particles collide.
Albert Einstein was also a musician. Sarah Phillips attended
a concert honoring Einstien's love of music, called "Einstein and His
Violin." "I am sure that Einstein would have enjoyed the evening as much
as I did," she writes.
Ursula Bassler also thought about Einstein this week, while watching an
Einstein-themed night on television. She discusses
Einstein's roles as humanist, husband, and mega-celebrity. |

The power of BLOG
Several QDers have taken notice of the Los Alamos National Laboratory public blog, "an uncensored forum where those concerned about the future of LANL may express their views," often anonymously. Caolionn O'Connell wonders what Quantum Diaries would be like if the blogs were confidental. "Knowing how many times I have wanted to include items but thought the better of it, I am inclined to think the tenor of these pages would be very different from what you see now," she writes.
Anuj Purwar, who works at Los Alamos, writes that he is fascinated by "how blogging is increasingly becoming mainstream and even gaining power as a medium of expression and communication." |
