Some time ago I mentioned that Elizabeth Fischer has put her music online. In case you haven’t visited lately, she has been updating and has now added links to the texts of some of the pieces. Go listen, read even. This is a great site with some great music.

Joel has an interesting post on France’s banning of the Muslim hajib in schools and other secular institutions. I don’t want to yank the thread and pull it here, but I think it’s really important to think about this issue. Take a look. I don’t know quite where to come down on this myself, although […]

I’m a very quotidien photographer, but the scenery around me is anything but quotidien. So I decided to post some pictures from a hike the kids and I went on yesterday. See the rest of the photos here.
