Christmas is coming!
The true mark of an artist is often the ability to find the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary, the magnificent in the mundane.
Several months ago, I realized I did not own a single pair of stud earrings — a discovery that both baffled and amused me.
Ever marveled at the three-dimensional holograms displayed in films like Star Wars and Iron Man? Have you speculated about how the Enterprise’s transporter in Star Trek managed to convert people into energy patterns, then beamed them to different locations?
