  1. Check out Glimmer by Warren Berger. I’ve been looking for a guide to the world of design, and Glimmer, with a wonderful website, is a whole sack of Sacagaweas. I’m not to the bottom of it yet. The website, [...], has a hyperlinked list of the people Berger calls the “Glimmerati.” What else do you need, except “world enough and time?” I blog about the design of government at [...], and my full review is there. The world of design has moved ‘way beyond fashion and architecture, and is looking to change the world all around us. From what I’ve read, including Glimmer, I’d like to encourage them!

  5. When listening to previous collaborations between Edgar Meyer, Bela Fleck, and whomever else they chose to include in their musical play, I have admired their facility for mixing genres in a tasteful and artful manner.

    This time they have gone beyond genre. They don’t just build on the foundations of existing traditions, they bust through them entirely to create something new and spectacularly beautiful.

    The inclusion of Zakir Hussein is just one of many strokes of genius. His delicate, complex rhythms, as the title suggests, do form a melodic line, or rather, several polyphonic lines.

    What they have done goes beyond my ability to describe. It must be heard.
