Last week’s Friday Five was once again mine. One of my fondest memories from high school was going over to the home of this idiot we knew named Chris. We used to go to his house, which was on an acreage outside of the city, mostly to poke fun at him, do nasty things...
Read more →I don’t know what’s causing it, but my installation of Movable Type is behaving somewhat strangely. I can’t figure out exactly why, but I’m wondering if installing the new, upgraded version will help. While I do want to port over to WordPress, I’m scared about the learning curve and figure that for now, it’d...

Read more →Over at New Sophist’s Almanac, the philosophy tandem blog I run with my friend Marvin, activity has begun again after some quiet summer time.
