Episode 4 of James Burke's Connections³, which is the last (as far as I know!) installment in the Connections series. In this series, Mr. Burke again takes a fresh approach in exploring main theme of all of these series; which is the way that progress occurs, almost exclusively by accident, and through various (often multi-disciplinary) "connections" between ideas or individuals.

In this series, each episode begins where the last one left off and the whole series concludes with a surprise ending :) I won't give it away because that will spoil all the fun!

Again translating this series into a "K-web path", we can think of it as a set of explorations beginning from one starting point and ending up somewhere in the past, present (or possibly the future) and then left there for a later time (ie. School's out, and it's time to go home!). The next show is then a continuation of the journey through "connection space". See http://k-web.org for more information.

In a sense this series almost reads like a book with various twists and turns (and lots of surprises!), broken up into "chapters" where each chapter starts off where the last one ended.

I have yet to see this confounded invisible object... I want my Henries back!!!

I've seen some of Titian's work at the Boston MFA. Amazingly detailed, but the color is what really knocks it out. He probably does the most accurate version of St. Jerome in the Wilderness.

"...and hanged" Brilliant delivery! :o)

I'd forgotten how good this used to be.
