Solar Oven Construction with Scott Kerr

Heya Scott, I’ve been digging into our shared experiences, and was excited to find this June 2012 article in Zocalo Magazine. You directed our collaborative solar oven building project – done in “the spirit of mathematical and culinary experimental fun!" Your carpentry and geometry skills were spot on! My written translation of the math, less so. But, I'm loving the last graf: Scott remarked, “I guess it would have been easier and less time consuming to buy one online.” I … [Read more...]

“Shared” Reality

11/25/20: I was thinking of metaphors for miscommunication when I visualized wires getting crossed.

Powerhouse Women Reflect on Tucson’s Evolving Music Scene

This article originally appeared in the February 2020 issue of Zocalo Magazine. It is great, and there’s still more work to do.  “We can miss the ladies. Why do we miss the ladies? Because it has taken a really long time for women to get to the forefront of the music scene.”  Cathy Rivers, general manager of KXCI and a singer/songwriter/guitarist, reflects on a comment I just made about sending out interview questions to over 40 professionally established and … [Read more...]
