What do the following seven things have in common:
* zero-dimensional homogeneous polynomial ideals,
* multivariate polynomial interpolation,
* box splines,
* hyperplane arrangements,
* parking functions on graphs,
* f-vectors of matroids,
* integer points in zonotopes ?
They turn out to be different sides of one story, which the speaker intends to tell.
