Newsflash! People Are Stupid!

One of the most densely populated metropolitan areas in the world, Hong Kong has an overall density of nearly 6,700 people per square kilometer. The majority of its citizens live in flats in high-rise buildings. In Architecture of Density, Wolf investigates these vibrant city blocks, finding a mesmerizing abstraction in the buildings' facades.

These are amazing photographs. I wish I could go to the exhibition.

Just because technology makes it possible for us to work 10 times faster than we used to doesn't mean we should do it. The body may be able to withstand the strain -- for a while -- but the spirit isn't meant to flail away uselessly on the commercial gerbil wheel.

Switched-On Bach caught the attention of my father, Fredric, a noted orchestra conductor and music educator. In my teenage years, we had many conversations about the nature of music, and now our talks broadened to include technology. Shortly before his own death in 1970, he told me of a strong feeling he had, that one day I would combine my interests in computers and music. This conversation, a direct result of Moog's work, was very much on my mind when I founded Kurzweil Music Systems in 1982.

Someone needs to fact check Ray a bit more in this article (Theremin's name?), but it's touching nonetheless and I believe it can't be overstated how important Bob Moog was to music, culture, and ultimately expression.
