The renowned food scientist Harold McKee wondered whether we need to cook pasta in so much water. Not as superfluous a concern as it may seem — after all, heat is energy. So he did some experiments…
I’ve found that we can indeed make pasta in just a few cups of water and save a good deal of energy. Not that much in your kitchen or mine — just the amount needed to keep a...

“Records show she secured the loan partly against property, but also by putting up as collateral the copyright, negatives and contract rights to every photograph she has ever taken or will take in future until the loans are paid off.”
This is really disappointing. She used to be something of a personal hero but as time goes by…I just really wonder about her.

WatchSymmetry
A short film I created (with help!) for the Tulsa 24-hour video race, sponsored by Philbrook and Living Arts of Tulsa.
The following attributes had to be included:

This is the kind of Valentines celebration I can get behind. Nerds making out with Nerds, with NPR’s choicest baby makin’ music in the background. Smooth.
