  • A Year With my Nose in Books

    It has been one of those years that feels long in retrospect, but I am also wondering exactly how I got to December. It’s still fairly early in the month, and I’ll likely finish the books I am reading at present, and start another one or two before the year is out, but I’m comfortable…

  • Wittgenstein and Graphical Scores
