"dot" = "period" = binary 00101110 in ASCII, or 10/11/10. So, Happy Dot Day, or: 01001000011000010111000001110000 01111001001000000100010001101111 01110100001000000100010001100001 0111100100100001 This is so exciting. We'll have some more binary days in November. (Yes, those ones and zeroes do say "Happy Dot Day" in the text coding format used by your computer, but no, I didn't work…

Weekend Music They were either married or soon to be married when they recorded this early Dylan classic, which at least for many years was never released by the man himself (possibly it’s on one of the many volumes of old unreleased material that have been issued in recent years).

Toby D’Anna sent me this interview with Don and Karen Peris of The Innocence Mission. They sound just like the nice somewhat shy people you would expect them to be. *** The American Library Association is having its annual “Banned Books Week.” I prefer to call it “Librarians Hate It When You Question Their Judgment…
