by Thomas J. Belknap Now, That’s a Compliment!

I got an email late last night telling me that HaloScan had recorded a comment on one of my articles.? The article in question turned out to be “Echoes of Dagestan,” the article on the Russian former spy, Alexander Litvinenko, who recently died of Polonium-210 poisoning.? The commenter turns out to be a man by the name of Jeff Jones.

But what is really amazing and what has me so excited is that Jeff Jones is a professor of Russian History at UNC-Greensboro.? How do ya like them apples? Hee!? So, despite having missed a good bit of info which Jeff hipped me to, it seems that the article is relatively on-target.? As much as I tried to maintain some integrity by cross-referencing the facts presented by the various sources, this still could have gone quite differently.

So, yeah.? I’m proud.

  • A Tribute to John Lennon

    In my Internet wanderings I've just stumbled upon "I Dig a Pygmy: A Tribute to John Lennnon" - a piece of "live musique concrète" whose sound sources consisted entirely of the utterances and recordings of John Lennon and the Beatles. The piece was composed and performed by Paul D. Lehrman, who's works include projects for PBS, the Learning Channel and the Discovery Channel to name a few.   You can watch his video performance and read the composition notes . . .
