LATEST ADDITIONS

Tipped off by <I>Stereophile</I> reader David Goodwin, I recently visited the San Francisco Airport Museum's beautifully thought-out and executed exhibit <A HREF="http://www.sfoarts.org/exhibits/f2/f2-current.html"><I>The History of Audio: The Engineering of Sound</I></A>. Installed to coincide with the 121st convention of the Audio Engineering Society, held at San Francisco's Moscone Center October 5&ndash;8, the exhibit runs through May 2007 in the North Connect Gallery of the airport's Terminal 3 (footnote 1).

I like "Existential Threat," which strikes me as almost as funny as my favorite <I>real</I> existential road sign, which I spotted in an arroyo on I-25 between Albuquerque and Santa Fe: "Gusty Winds may exist."

Coverage will be starting Friday.

At a get-together the other night, I observed John Atkinson squinting at his cell phone when he received an in-coming call, and parroted Jon Stewart's remark that the amazing thing about the Mark Foley scandal wasn't that there was abuse in the page system, but rather that a 54-year-old could text message.

I've just recently discovered the blog <I>We Are All Mozart</I>, billed as "A project to create new works and change the perception of the music of our time."

Maybe so, says <I>The Village Voice</I>'s Ben Zwickel. Perhaps a better theory is that he's "a canary in the coal mine of pop music, and when pop music's good—or interesting, at least—Yankovic has more to sing about."

Have the changes in our diet in the past century constituted "a very large uncontrolled experiment that may have contributed to the societal burden of aggression, depression and cardiovascular death"?
