Kidd

The Article by Kidd seems to discuss two things that don't appear to be alike, because by definition they are opposites, then he shows how they are actually similar.  He talks about how humans and viruses can not live with out each other, but also kill each other.  Also going into talking about the left to right relationship and how we encounter it in our daily lives, and the top to bottom, back to front, and big and small.

He then goes on to talking about the different dimensions.  He says how we are stuck in the third, and laugh at those stuck in the second.  But if there are those below us, why would there not be any above us? They laugh at us just as we laugh at the others, all the way to infinite dimensions we can't even dream to comprehend.

Hickey

First off, I love watching and playing basketball so this article was a nice read.  This shot by Dr. J has been seen numerous times by any serious basketball fan, and if you have ever tried it you know how difficult it is.  Hickey talks about the fluidity of the game and how it started up, a good history lesson and shows how far the game has come.

Hickey seems to be almost weirdly obsessed with the sport though.  It got annoying to read at point because of how much he appears to love it.  I love enthusiasm and all, but he slightly went too far.

Weschler

This was a very interesting article to me.  I have never really looked into this topic and I love to learn new things.  Animation has always seemed to be very difficult to me, but I never knew how much work was done just to get the faces right.  I can not even imagine working for that long on just a face for a movie, and never even thought about there being a problem if you do a job too well and make the face look too real.

Bringing up specific movies most of us have seen to help visualize this process really works well for the author, but he does seem to get off track and ramble on about certain things that give no real addition to the article.
