Time and space
When I was a sophmore undergraduate a Nobel Prize winning physicist (Murray Gell-Mann, who named the quark based on Joyce's Finnigan's Wake) gave a talk at our little school on Grand Avenue. I asked him what time was. The look on his face was priceless, kind of why aren't I back in my office doing useful work?A different physicist said, Time is so that everything doesn't happen at once, and space is so that it doesn't happen to me. The sitrep is that I am suffering from a lack of time and space. Teaching two classes, one for the first time, supervising students, young kids at home, problems with the train, editing a journal, writing a book, planning for a trip.
What can I do to help you ask? I need new music to load into my mp3 player for the trip. Please send ideas!

Dood, I have a couple of sweet new podcasts that I really enjoy. They are mostly young and fresh club and fitness music great for actually working to - upbeat and not really distracting but easy to nod your head to while typing or doing something else (like running!). I hope these aren't too new-wave or clubby for you.
"Radio 538: Tiesto's Club Life Podcast" and "Podrunner". Both high energy!
I dig 'em. Cheers from Singapore (-:
Hey dB, thanks, sounds like just the thing. Have you heard any of the Hotel Costas CDs? I am guessing they are in the same direction.
That should be Costes, not Costas, makers of renouned hand-made candies.
I work with someone who just graduated from college. I get all my new music from her.
Send me your address and I will burn you a cd or two.

For "anonymous" db: send me an email so I have your email address again; people were asking about you at the big reunion and I had no news for them
