As an aside, a recent article in The New Yorker reviewed a book concerning infinity and Cantor. It wasn't a very glowing review but not completely scathing either.
As for myself, infinity doesn't interest me much, but the highpoint of my month has been learning that i raised to the power of i (that is, i^i) not only has a value, but it is a real number and not a complex number. The wonderfully versatile Google can be used a calculator, and if you enter i^i and hit enter you get i^i = 0.207879576.
