interesting things

  1. The Selby shows the process of making chocolate through a tour of the Mast Brothers chocolate factory.
  2. The Seattle Weekly interviews Patti Smith on her new auto/biography on her relationship with Robert Mapplethorpe, Just Kids. Interesting gems include religion in The Factory, Mapplethorpe and AIDS, and the music she listens to at home (Glenn Gould! Does she listen to his sometimes-ridiculous-but-still-amazing recordings of Bach?).
  3. The Atlantic publishes an article on what makes a good teacher, using data and information provided by Teach for America.
