It’s probably too soon to write much about it, but it would suck to miss the chance to make the first entry on this date (yeah I know it’s the 3rd already, but I’m sure it’s still legally the 1st until sometime tomorrow morning).
Well, I got the upstairs unpacked. Many species of disc and tape [...]
so here we go;
sorry I haven’t written much here lately. I have no greater excuse than simply not having been in the right frame of mind.
Well. Don’t know when I’ll be back, but I’m here. And it’s Saturday night, after Christmas. It’s been a decent one. Thursday with the dad, brother, and brother’s family, at [...]
we needed about three songs before we got our heads around the fact that yes, we were actually here. In the same room with Leonard Cohen. Leonard Cohen! And he was onstage singing these songs to us.
Yep, that about sums it up. I’m still buzzing from one hell of a fantastic show.
Awesome…
For anyone looking to understand this weird obsession I have with the economics of land and natural resources, and to explore the idea that capitalists and communists are both half-right, both half-wrong, and both making the exact same mistake — well, the bible has always been Progress and Poverty. The awesome part is that [...]
I know I give Ron Paul a lot of shit over his backwards approach to social issues — his homophobia, his desire to have the government enforce a Christian interpretation of personhood, and his willingness to coddle and associate with outright racists, whether he be a racist himself or not — but make no mistake, [...]
…is that the frequent making of fists is an incredibly effective way to remember to keep your fingernails trimmed.
Yeah, that’s how little I have to talk about right now. Well, there are things, but all the good thoughts are sloshing around in the muddiest depths of my brain, clearly in no shape to go out [...]
This is pretty cool. Mother Jones told us about The Typealyzer, which probes your blog and computes your Myers-Briggs type based on content:
INTP – The Thinkers
The logical and analytical type. They are especially attuned to difficult creative and intellectual challenges and always look for something more complex to dig into. They are great at finding [...]
A commenter on 3 AM Polls: McCain Running Out of Time, Undecideds writes:
it doesn’t look like McCain will have enough time to convince the American people that Obama is the atheistic, bastard lovechild of Eugene Debs and Emma Goldman.
Which I just had to post on because that would SO be my candidate :)
I saw Trouble the Water tonight — excellent, deeply moving film. I think the tag line sums it up nicely –
It’s not about a hurricane… it’s about America
I mean just damn, what more can be said? Katrina showed us our worst and our best all at once, and they’ve captured it masterfully in this documentary [...]
No spectacular new ideas or information here, but as a fan of San Francisco, and a fan of Henry George, I do enjoy Fred Folvary using the term San Francisco School as another name for Georgist economics.
That reminds me, I never did finish my travel diary from my trip. I can’t believe it’s been more [...]
Poet, philosopher, composer, and solver of all the world's problems. Oh, and I code perl at the day gig.
