Not too long ago, I saw an interview with the filmmaker Lee Daniels, the director of such films as Monster's Ball, Precious, and The Butler, along with the TV shows Empire and Star.
Daniels was talking about growing up in Philadelphia, where his father was a cop in the Philadelphia police department. When Daniels was a teenager, his father was killed in the line of duty, and Daniels … [Read more...]
Pi, the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter, is one of those things in life, if you take the time to ponder it, that can leave you awestruck - even if you're not a geek (which I profess to be).

The title of this post, "Love is But the Song We Sing, and Fear's the Way We Die," comes from the classic 1960's song "Get Together" by the Youngbloods.
You can watch the video with the lyrics above.
Some might dismiss this as a 1960's utopian peace, love and granola song, but the words ring true decades later:
