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 [...]

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 [...]

Apparently it was August 20, 1991 when I drove up to Orlando for the first lollapalooza, which I bring up to tell again about the pre-show activities, when I ate some acid with a random hardcore freak I met in line — who actually said his name was Gonzo — who gave me a copy [...]

weirdness
everything is just — unsettling. I’ve got a nice buzz on — partly vodka, partly oxycodone.
But I should be nearly unconscious, which as you can see, I’m not.
It’s been a weird and shitty week, as you are aware.
tomorrow, things should start to get back to normal. I suppose I’ll go back to karate, though [...]

Named in deference, of course.
OK. Background: wasted. watching Koyaanisqatsi, first time in this, erm, state of mind.
Probably for only the second of at least 3 spins tonight.
Meanwhile, a late snack, undeserved but having it anyway –
I take one morningstar southwest veggie patty, plus one of their sausage links. Why? Because they were the end of [...]

You can’t be BOTH an intellectual elitist AND someone who actually pays attention when a pastor is speaking.
Besides, I should be the only reverend wright. But of a much weirder church. Maybe I’ll start calling this guy “cousin Jeremy”.

Noted geolibertarian economist Fred Foldvary tells us that William F. Buckley understood the unique role that natural resources play in our political economy, though he lacked the will to make the case:

Buckley’s intellectual development was influenced strongly by the Georgist libertarians Albert Nock and Frank Chodorov. [...] Nock and Chodorov were free-marketeers, geolibertarians who recognized [...]

Friday night was a real treat, as the phenomenal percussionist Evelyn Glennie performed a concerto for percussion and strings with the Nashville Symphony. It was an interesting piece, working in three movements — wood, metal, and skin, each focused around instruments of the named varieties. What I didn’t realize until a friend mentioned it during [...]

You might remember that a few weeks ago we discovered that Phil Valentine needs gay marriage to be illegal, because government permission is the only thing keeping him from giving in to his cravings for a lifetime of hot bovid lovin’. Well Phil, if you get a chance, tonight’s your last chance to see the [...]

I’ve never quite known how to take Vince Vaughn. I think the thing is, I’ve liked most of his movies, but haven’t much liked him. Seeing him tonight in Wedding Crashers, I think it’s more complex than that — I like him as the jackass you hate, so long as there’s an Owen Wilson representing [...]
