In addition to my physics interests, I create comedy and music videos under the pseudonym Edward Current ("Eddie Current"). It was a special challenge to provide insights into general relativity for a mainstream audience, with a demonstration that is more physically accurate than the conventional rubber-sheet demo. My essay "Toward an Informational Mechanics" won a Special Commendation prize in FQXi's 2012 Questioning the Foundations competition.
