Real life has been a little hectic so even though I see things that interest me, I haven’t found time to blog about them. Here are a few of those things:
- Maybe Emily Dickinson was more interesting than I’ve always thought. Or at least, maybe her family was. Her latest biographer thinks so.
- Stephen Emms didn’t like the ending of Anna Karenina. Heh. I thought Anna Karenina’s pastoral ending was a dream compared to the end of War and Peace which you might recall almost did me in.
- An interesting experiment in writing speeds on various modern gadgets. With graphs. Turns out the iphone keyboard, that most of us don’t like, isn’t really that slow to type on. (h/t Kottke)

Finally, here’s an interesting youtube that shows how much television is shot in front of green screens (h/t Kottke).
