A condensed version of this entry was posted on the Manual Arts blog… During a recent road trip, among other miscellany, I listened through a handful of older This American Life episodes.

My first foray into uploading video to YouTube can be found at the Manual Arts blog. The shaky-camera stylings are all mine. I hope to be able to add more of these over the next few weeks.

A Good Time for Music

Though I have apparently lost the link, I read the other day about a study demonstrating that listening to music helps some students learn. No real surprise there, I know. However, this is the kind of quantitative data that I need to help validate the allowance of music in an otherwise electronically intolerant campus. Now [...]
