This blog talks about ideas that catch my fancy: TED talks, books (including TED Book Club selections), movies (especially Hot Docs documentaries), travel, and other interesting things I read or hear about.

From Fish to Infinity
I just read something on New York Times that really tickled my long-dormant math bones. Entitled The Hilbert Hotel, it was a delightful riff on infinity (click here to read it). This was the last in a series of articles about math by Steve Strogatz called From Fish to Infinity. If anyone shares my taste in reading about Math, this whole series is definitely worth taking in. There's a link to all the past articles in a box in the Hilbert Hotel article. Enjoy!
