Over at Second Story Publications I found a link to a beautiful project called the Mark Twain Scrapbook. This is an exquisite and interesting digital scrapbook bio of Mark Twain. Nice-eu, as is said in Konglish.

Romanticism and Nations
Ever since about a month ago, I’ve had a kind of niggling little problem eating away at my thinking. At that time, I was discussion nationalism and the rule of law with my famous Northstar class. I asked the class about what they thought of the Geneva Conventions and the justifiability of war… basically asking if the idea of a “just war” philosophy or tradition is acceptable, since the validity of that idea is something the code outlined in the Geneva Conventions to some degree implies. One of the students got herself into what I thought was a conundrum. Except that …
Vampires… Communists… oh my.
This is amusing.
Matrix 2, Animatrix…
Over the last couple of months I have not seen a lot of movies. I have been busy enough to actually miss, in the theater, several movies that I was actually interested in seeing. Perhaps the only movie I have managed to see in the theater in the last couple of months is the new Matrix: Reloaded sequel. However, one of my friends here has become a sort of movie dealer to me… he feeds me CD-ROMs with downloaded films on them, and I watch them. Among the many films he has thus made available to me was the Animatrix …
Big Move
Well, here’s the big news, for those of you who didn’t see a mass email from me: I have taken a department job over at Jeonju University. It begins at the end of August, so I will be on staff at Wonkwang until the mid-August holidays, and then I will begin over at Jeonju University at the end of August. For now, I’m just getting my head around the idea of the holidays I’ll be enjoying, and trying to make sure the paperwork gets done properly and quickly. It’s not a huge change, either financially or in terms of my …

Here is an interview paper for beginners in Intro A, with some original question formation activities at the end.
it’s alright…
yeah, it’s alright, or it’s gonna be. those of you who know what I am talking about, know what I mean. those of you who don’t can find out by buying me a beer. yeah, it went okay, I’ll be fine. best of all possible outcomes. and no I am not cynically quoting Candide. onwards and upwards.
Dabang Band – Bbang Club Show
Dabang Band is playing at Bbang Club in Seoul on Saturday Night. As usual I don’t know exact times, but I think you’ll want or need to be at the club by 8pm to see us play. Here’s a page about clubs in Shinchon. There’s a map on this page though I don’t know how useful it is. There’s also a phone number for the club, if you can call and speak in Korean: (82-2)-362-1089. Of course in Seoul you only need to dial the last part, and in the rest of Korea only the “-2-” prefix. If you have …
