NYTimes: A Quantum Theory of Mitt Romney

I spotted this article a few weeks ago. The little part of me that loves theoretical physics (I list Dyson and Feynman among my favorite authors, yes) thinks this is the wittiest political commentary of the election cycle:

Something (okay, quite a few things) about Romney just doesn't sit right with me. Probably all the hot air.

The Ones Left Behind poster!

The promotional poster for The Ones Left Behind is out!

Simon's (the male lead) costume is composed mostly of pieces on loan from the drama department, but Muireann's (the female lead) is my design. Tommy (the composer) and I wandered around in a little Asian fabric shop in San Jose for a good hour, looking for the perfect fabric. It's made of this great satiny material -- it looks even better in person, and should show up wonderfully under the stage lights.

Anyhow, as it says on the poster, ticket reservations are open! They're free, so you should all come see the show!
