So I think I was right on Saturday, in my little conversation with the editor. Just for a bit of context, he was wearing these painfully hip glasses and an all black ensemble complete with trimmed goatee and black leather jacket.
He is going places, definitely.
But it was clear, at least to me, that he hadn’t [...]

I had a conversation last night with the editor of the school newspaper, about the state of journalism and journalistic integrity. Apparently a few years ago there was some really just tragic racial shootings by a white supremacist who was driving through the midwest just letting minorities have it, and passed only a few miles [...]

Its the political season. You can tell because everyone is jumpy and tired and constantly checking their calandars to see when it will all be over. Except the talking heads on TV, they look bright eyed and bloodthirsty still. The way tweakers look on the last day of a rave at 5 in the morning, [...]

Here’s what I did today instead of preparing my psych presentation on Thursday. CE is the awful forums to which I contribute (see the links over there–>)

Quick post before I lay me down…
One of my good ol homefries from back at UCR got ahold of me today, and asked me why I got into philosophy. I answered nicely and succiently as follows:

Let me first say that I rarly disagree with Ebert’s reviews, and often I find his own insights and takes on movies very interesting. Every once in a while he makes a grave mistake, however. He did it before by giving thumbs down to Fight Club. He did it again this time with Team America.

to accuse me of behaviorism is to imply that thinking is not [...]

“That’s Philosophy!”
by the jokers in my philosophy department
When you confuse all your friends… that’s philosophy.
When you know your means from ends… that’s philosophy.
When you know just when to p,
And you know when to not-p,
When you think, therefore, you be… that’s philosophy!
When you’ve found the essence of a thing… that’s philosophy.
When you hang out with Turing [...]

So I have given my friend the following ultimatium: For exactly one month, starting today, he post on his blog at least once a day. To get used to the routine, etc. At the end of the month, we start up a new combined site (while of course not forgetting our own personal blogs, faithful [...]

So my mad blogging fever has inspired a friend half way across the country to start up his own. I imagine his will be as general and chaotic as this.
