1. Our very own Marketing Director, Isaac Bont recommends Squid Game on Netflix. He says, “Yes, I'll be that fair-weather friend! Squid Game has been the most popular series on Netflix in quite a while. And I must say, rightfully so! I was slightly skeptical as it seemed to me to be a rip-off of Battle Royale and The Hunger Games. Turns out, I think it's better than both. First off, the characterization of the players is great. Second, it's a great satire of capitalism at its most extreme limits. Warning, this series contains some pretty intense sequences of violence/gore and sexuality. It is a great satire though, and a great character study, where you care about certain characters in a despicable situation. Watch with Korean audio and English subtitles if possible!

2. This is from our very own Ed Moersfelder. He says, “This time of year I am always reminded of Robert Frost's short poem "My November Guest." I memorized it twenty years ago when I was living in our log cabin (sans electricity, sans plumbing) while our house in snow country was being built. (My mother advised me to memorize poetry. She said it would give me something to think about when I was in jail.) The poem celebrates the beautiful sorrow coming with the onset of winter. The poem begins:

My Sorrow, when she's here with me,
       Thinks these dark days of autumn rain
Are beautiful as days can be;
She loves the bare, the withered tree;
       She walks the sodden pasture lane.
      
And ends with the verse that comes to me each year at this time:

Not yesterday I learned to know
       The love of bare November days
Before the coming of the snow,
But it were vain to tell her so.
       And they are better for her praise.

The stuff in between the first and the last verse is pretty good, too.”

3. Our Executive Artistic Director, Jason Richards says, “Check out these cool videos of artists creating sculptures on pencil tips.”
