My Three Seconds of Fame

Here is a screenshot of my moment.  If you watch carefully (http://www.cbsnews.com/videos/the-art-of-pencil-sharpening/) between 0:57 and 1:00 I appear briefly as the camera pans the audience of a book signing/talk in downtown Durham, North Carolina.  According to my calculations these 3 seconds constitute all of the fame I have been granted thus far in my life.  I think it only just that I still could expect 14 minutes and 57 seconds more.

Someday.

Perhaps when I least expect it?

Salzburg Rhythmanalysis Project

In order to grasp and analyze rhythms, it is necessary to get outside them, but not completely: be it through illness or technique.  A certain exteriority enables the analytic intellect to function.

—Henri Lefebvre

This weekend we will enter the flow of the Almkanal from nearby its source and float atop boogie boards—half in the water, half out—towards and through the City of Salzburg.  We will document the trajectory with a waterproof disposable camera.  This, we hope, will contribute greatly to the Salzburg Rhythmanalytics.

Here is a map of the route thanks to the Salzburger Almkanal:

Winter Bees

Salzburgerland beehouse along the Almkanal.  Honey bees will create a ball in the winter to protect the queen who is kept warm in the middle of the mass of worker bees.  Generally, queens will live 3-5 years.  The worker bees will protect and feed her as long as she remains productive with her reproductive duties.
