The Most Beautiful Places
August 3, 2009 by dugglesTED – Riveting Talks by Remarkable People
July 15, 2009 by dugglesTED is pretty kewl… These inspirational talks are given by truly remarkable people. I plan to explore further but so far I’ve checked out:
Arthur Benjamin He’s a Mathemagician.
Evelyn Glennie She’s a deaf percussionist.
Benjamin Zander He talks about music and passion.
Jill Bolte Brain study – WOW!
Nova Program – Musical Minds
July 6, 2009 by dugglesMusical Minds – only available online through 7-7-09 but I thought I’d note this website so I can check and see if it might be rebroadcast at sometime in the future.
Google Books
June 26, 2009 by dugglesI heard about this months ago, but I am just now coming to realize what an incredible library is at our disposal!!! Google Books is just loaded with classic literature! You can add books to your library for easy and fast retrieval and read them online. You can also search for words or phrases within each book.
The first book I added to my library was Evan Esar’s “20,000 Quips & Quotes”. Being very much into quotations, Esar has always been a subject of my interest. I recently added Welty’s “The Optimist’s Daughter” which I’ve been planning to read and Mencken’s “The American Language”. Now all I need is time to read…..

Kerrville Folk Festival
May 14, 2009 by dugglesIt’s Thursday night and I started packing up for the trip. Patty and I leave early Wednesday morning. I’m trying to decide if I will be using this WordPress blog or Facebook to post pictures and notes on the festival this year. I’m sorta thinking it’s gonna depend on how easy it is to upload pictures…
stay tuned…
Three Mile Island – Steve Brooks
April 4, 2009 by dugglesHere’s a link to a story written by my friend Steve Brooks. It’s a good read. Steve says that the Statesmen (in Austin TX) refused to publish it so he just sent it out in his newsletter… He said it was okay to forward it so I thought I’d save it for posterity on the Happenstance website.
