Miscellaneous links and fun stuff.

WARNING: Most links are broken. I hope to update my whole site soon.

• Links related my undergraduate days at Caltech.
  • The department of mathematics.
  • The homepage of Dabney House, my student house.
  • The DarbWeb page, a collection of links to the homepages of people who lived in Dabney.

• Links related to my graduate school days at U.C. Berkeley.
  • The department of mathematics.
  • Cody's Books, the largest independent bookstore west of the Mississippi. They deserve your business more than Amazon does.

• Links related to my post-doc days at the University of Michigan.
  • The department of mathematics.
  • WEMU, a very fine public radio station based at Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti.

• Family members.
  • My wife Isabella Furth works for Viewpoint Learning, Inc. in San Diego.
  • Norma Howe, my mother, writes books for young adults.
  • Robert Howe, one of my brothers, has a page with links relating to Macintosh computers, old-time high-wheel bicycles, and other things.
  • My sister Pat Howe, after 20 years of making sparkling wines for big labels, has started her own tiny winemaking business in a shed. (“One of the smallest freestanding bonded wineries in the United States,” she writes.) Her web page is here, and her blog here.

• Musicians and musical groups.
  • Jonatha Brooke's homepage. I only know about Jonatha Brooke because of Radio Free Tiny Pineapple (see below).
  • The official homepage of the Penguin Café Orchestra, and an unofficial site.
  • Laurie Anderson's home page.
  • The EnoWeb, where you can learn more things about Brian Eno than you could ever have imagined possible.
  • Jane Siberry's home page.
  • The home page of The Bobs, a group famous for "new-wave a capella". Several of their last albums have been disappointing, but their latest ("Coaster") has some very good work.
  • G-Spot Records is the record company of Gunnar Madsen, one of the founding members of The Bobs and the author and/or co-author of most of their best songs. Gunnar left The Bobs quite a few years ago. He has made some some good CDs, including two childrens CDs ("Old Mr. Mackle Hackle" and "Ants in my Pants") which the adults in the house will enjoy as much as the children.
  • Radio Free Tiny Pineapple is an internet radio station that seems to play good music. Unfortunately, you can't listen to it any more, thanks to the RIAA. But it's fun to look around the Tiny Pineapple site.

• Public radio.
  • NPR, National Public Radio.
  • WEMU in Ypsilanti, MI, the best public radio station ever.
  • KCRW in Santa Monica, CA.
  • This American Life, a great radio show from WBEZ in Chicago. Almost every episode of This American Life is available for free via RealAudio on the TAL site.
  • Fresh Air, with Terry Gross, from WHYY in Philadelphia. Archived interviews are available.

• Miscellaneous sites to divert yourself with.
  • The Library of Congress.
  • The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
  • The Brunching Shuttlecocks site is no longer being updated, but you can look through all of their old stuff. For new material by the Brunching crew, see
    • the Self-Made Critic and
    • the Book of Ratings.

• The answer to the question ‘What is ehiyr poty?’
• A description of the problems (now fixed) with “Let's Do Lunch”, the most recent puzzler from Coudal Partners.
