To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Celebrating the Suburban Vision
I have a new favorite artist [at least for this week]. His name is Luis Martinez, born in El Salvador, raised and educated in Sydney, Australia. He, unlike the "new urbanist" social engineers who are the latest manifestation of urban elite snobbery, understands, appreciates and effectively portrays the emotional dimension of suburban life. Check out a gallery of his work here.
