Bookish
I wanted to talk a little about what I am reading.
I saw this idea over at Mind on Fire. Basically it’s about taking an excerpt out of a near book and sharing it.
For the record, I do not know what a meme is, I do not care what a meme is, and, in fact, [...]
Leaving the Garden
Wanted to let you know about my invited post on the most excellent Mind on Fire. It is part of the “Leaving the Garden” series.

Pump It Up
That is all.
(Sorry about the stock photo. I’ll wait and see if any I can get any pictures of the party.)

I like giving gifts.
I do not like giving them on prescribed days.
At least, I do not like giving them on prescribed days for the sheer sake of the day. There is the obvious reason–the gross commercialism. Do I really need to rehash that obvious and tired (though not any less true) argument? [...]

Between being a fairly large (6′5″), “oh, he looks like he’d like to carry my solid oak desk by himself” person (of course [...]
Life isn’t always what you see

Friend: Better for you. [...]
Second place!

The open division had somewhere between 15-20 teams from across the U.S. and Canada and was great to watch. The rec division [...]
