...Maddin’s glorious take on early Russian melodrama that won the award for Best Experimental Film from the National Society of Film Critics last month. As Maddin cuts from one shot to the next with uninterrupted speed, the film feeds the viewer a surprisingly satisfying plethora of visual information and symbolic imagery; you’d think that the quantity would smother your mind, but the film’s tried-and-true love story leaves one free to turn one’s attention from the film’s plot to its most striking images...
...almost certainly never see. The 43rd Grammy Awards had begun with a characteristic whimper. On the streets around the Staples Center, curious ticketless onlookers had already gathered. On stage, tiny outrages were already taking place. In the wordy category of Best Song Written for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, "Things Have Changed?" from "Wonder Boys?" written by Bob Dylan, lost out to "When She Loved Me." from "Toy Story 2," written by Randy Newman.

Factual errors, once discovered, will be corrected immediately. Five years from now the visual resolution of handheld text devices should be clear enough--and the prices low enough--that one portable e-textbook containing downloads for every subject could replace a backpack full of books...
...When you're conducting an emergency blow as an exercise, you're supposed first to make very sure there's nothing above you. So you come up to 50 or 60 feet below the surface and use your sonar to scan the area, and make a visual check using your periscope. You then go back down to 300 or 400 feet, and launch the emergency procedure. Getting back down takes about five minutes, and something could conceivably move into your path in that time. But your periscope is supposed to give you extended visibility of the area, and your sonar...
