Apologies for somewhat falling off the face of the earth for the last week or so. Dr. Darling and I took on a freelance project for the London-based travel guide publisher we occasionally work for, and that’s taken up the bulk of my online time since returning from Stockholm mid-month.

Talent like this scares me…
…and pretty much forces me to believe in God. I’ve always loved the original Owl City version of this tune (Fireflies), but this Yale student eclipses it by taking on a lot of the synthesized parts a cappella.
