...people who brought you the weird music alien iZ have come out with another equally alien device, called Zoundz. It looks like the sort of leisure device Captain Kirk might encounter in a martian boudoir, a shiny white puddle with colorful, crazy-shaped blocks and blinking lights. You move the blocks to create and manipulate the music, and the lights lock in step. Six of the blocks have sound sequences built in?string, keyboard, percussion, etc. The seventh block is for recording your own five seconds of audio.

As a result, those who consider teaching, not research, their passion tend to drop off the tenure track early in their careers. Some of those lovers of pedagogy end up as non-faculty instructors at Harvard where, after teaching...
...thirty seconds while others ventured out 50 or 60 feet and more than waist deep into the murky waters, staying in the river for a minute or longer. As quickly as the swim had started, most people abandoned the Charles by 7:14 a.m., leaving behind doughnuts, Bud Light and spiked hot chocolate as they raced to their dorms to warm up. “Cries of pain and despair from Polar Bear Swim virgins were allayed by the realization that they had summoned the first real snow of the season,” Alaska Klub Co-Presidents Robert...
