typical evening

This evening I went to hear Professor Freeman Dyson give a talk on quixotic Cold War rocketry at the Guggenheim.

Pretty much entirely so that I could write that sentence.

I wonder if anyone pointed out to Professor Dyson that the lovely cloud chamber image that adorns his most recent book was also, of course, famously used as the art on the Strokes's first album. Maybe that's exactly why he chose it. Once you've had a Sphere named after you, I don't think there's any limit to what you can do.
