Our Third Anniversary.
24-Sep-11Our first post, three years ago to the day. Three years and six hundred-odd posts later, we’re still producing material for this website. I was looking over the essays I’ve posted, and there is enough to make several full-length books. And some of the material is fairly good. I think I need to find a […]
Moral Progress.
23-Sep-11Will Wilkinson on the phenomenon which makes religious fundamentalism so grotesque, and argues implicitly for the necessity of a “spirit and truth” religion if we are to have any at all: moral progress. Our moral ideas continue to move in a definite direction, in this instance away from violence. I am curious as to where […]
Staten Island in the Times.
11-Sep-11I could have posted this awhile ago, but wasn’t sure it was all that interesting, but since I am considered a minor expert on things Staten Island I suppose I should. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/06/nyregion/todt-hill-in-staten-island-offers-a-different-new-york.html?_r=2&hp In unrelated news it appears the Staten Island book is now officially out of print, all the copies having been sold.

15-Aug-11I watched Grizzly Man last night. I was impressed. I might write more about it, but I’m not sure there’s too much to say. Tim Treadwell lived the life he wanted, had the death he wanted, and his life was then amply and skilfully documented by Werner Herzog. I consider it a life well-lived, which […]

Hannibal Without Mark Twain.
26-Mar-11From Cuivre River State Park I drove on up to Hannibal, Missouri. Mark Twain was born just outside town, and he spent his boyhood just up the block from the main intersection, where the road from the river landing crosses Main Street. The town is well-preserved, and Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn turn out to […]
