The site is:
http://thedesignspace.net/
and the museum is:
http://thedesignspace.net/art/gallery
I suspect what someone here was looking at was my origami section - I had an image
of a David Huffman piece, and there was a big article on him recently, which caused
my site to be overrun by viewers.

Well, my husband is a music theory professor, so we get the golden oldies of the 19th
century around here quite a bit. But he's also a rock musician, so he listens to the
newer stuff as well. I've been trying to update him a little, though! I like world music,
techno, some rap, and a variety of other styles.

Cold does not even begin to describe it, although it's better than Minnesota, where I
had the misfortune to live for a few years as a kid. It was a total shock to move here!
However it has a lot of advantages that make up for the weather, at least partly.
