There are cameras and listening devices everywhere, affixed to street lights and set up at the entrances of businesses, a common feature of modern doorbells and silently watching neighborhood thoroughfares. There’s even a whole recording suite sitting in your…
Opening Doors
Homelessness is one of those problems that can seem impossibly large. Housing costs, mental health, employment, domestic violence, substance use, disability and poverty can all play a role, and the path into homelessness rarely looks the same for two people. In 2004, a small group of community volunteers realized that while many agencies and groups…

Spin, Wheel!
Step right up and take a spin of the amazing zoetrope that simulates actual human and animal locomotion. That was a huge deal in 1834 and set pulses racing. Without these novel spinning wheels filled with small sequential images (think galloping horse), our species wouldn’t have invented animation or the movies. Unthinkable. Here we are,…
