I’m alive again after an unpleasant two weeks. I’ve got a lot of cleaning and catching up to do, so I’ll continue to be scarce here.

A few things that caught my eye or ear recently:
I have a little list of words and phrases that tell me everything I need to know about the people who use them. So does J Greely.
Science, Roger Bacon and Robert Grosseteste.
Are the New York Disco Villains the Bonzo Dog Band reborn? (Via the Professor.)
Mozart and Chagall.
The Magic Flute – Chagall Animation from 59 Productions on Vimeo.
Mozart and Tonari no Seki-kun. (Via Wonderduck.)
There’s a live-action version of Tonari no Seki-kun. You don’t need to know Japanese to follow the story.
Bonus link: Vulcanologist Erik Klemetti counts down his list of the ten most dangerous volcanoes. If you’re thinking of investing in European real estate, forget Naples.
