Stringing popcorn. I used to love doing this as a kid but loved eating the popcorn more. I only make my popcorn the old fashioned way on the stove. Tastes ten times better.
I went Christmas shopping today for my Papu (grandpa) who still needed to get my Nana something. I guess after 60 years of marriage he must have run out of ideas.

I love x-mas lights - but they always burn out! I bought some industrial outdoor string medium base lights with 11 watt bulbs. I've had for more than a year, 3 bulbs have burnt out and I just haven't replaced them yet.
This is my 3rd string pillow. This time I did HSTs of blocks in purple, blue, and green with a light gray background. I like the look of this different technique, but think I'll stick to more stringy/spider webby looking blocks.
This is going to a male co-worker, so hopefully it's a bi more manly. It's hard for me to really determine those types of things.
As a cellist, one of the most important components of my equipment is my strings. For years, I have used Spirocore strings which are made by the Viennese company of Thomastik-Infeld (www.thomastik-infeld.com). Last year the Emerson Quartet was given a tour of the factory by Wolfgang Weiss, a violinist who is head of marketing for the company, and we tried many different strings, including new types in development, and gave the technicians direct feedback.
Wolfgang Weiss visited New York last week and gave a riveting talk on the physics of strings at the shop of violin dealer Gregory Singer on 80th street (www.singerviolins.com). Greg has wonderful space, in the building just behind the famous H&H Bagels shop, where he presents concerts and all kinds of interesting events.
Included in Wolfgang’s talk were videos taken of moving strings with a high speed camera, allowing for extreme slow motion viewing. One of them, shown in the photo below, was the exact same action as is shown in my Cello Talk video No. 12, Bow and String, which demonstrates what is happening when bow pulls string. Fascinating, even for non-players
