This is the interior, looking up, of "Connector," a monumental sculpture by Richard Serra. It stands in the courtyard of the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, where it is alleged to connect all its disparate elements.

WTH does "...it is alleged to connect all its disparate elements..." mean?

It refers to connecting Segerstrom Hall (for Broadway and big ballet performances) and the Renee and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall, the two main buildings. This sits on the plaza between them. Fun fact: kids love to stand in the middle where Kevin took this photo and make noises that sound like police sirens. Very loud ones.

  Kind of the way that little rug that Lebowski (the Dude) had, that "tied the room together"?

I started blogging in 2002 at my own site. In 2004 I got hired by the Washington Monthly and then moved to Mother Jones in 2008, where I blogged and wrote for the print magazine for 12 years. Finally, in 2021, I came full circle, leaving MoJo to once again blog at my own site.

Prior to blogging, I was vice president of marketing for Kofax Image Products, a software company in Irvine, California. I’m married, no kids, two cats. In 2014 I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bone marrow. It’s currently incurable, but modern treatments are pretty good and I remain alive and hopeful that a cure is on the way.
