Present Moment

I’m admittedly a little bit of a believer in a generally holistic approach to life. I am open minded enough to accept that remedies and diets passed down through the centuries by cultures around the world have at least the potential to be of value. I am also skeptical enough of western culture [...]

Just Finished Reading The Making of the Fittest

I just finished reading Sean Carroll’s excellent book The Making of the Fittest: DNA and the Ultimate Forensic Record of Evolution. What a great book.
As somebody who has been interested in evolution since he was a kid (although for years I thought I was debunking it) I think there is little more fascinating than [...]

Writer

For the last five years I have been in flux. It began when, after 30 years around Jehovah’s Witnesses, my faith shattered and I became a freethinker, humanist and secular Buddhist. I reprogrammed myself, or more accurately, re-educated myself. I studied more broad than deep. My goal wasn’t to become [...]

The Making of the Fittest

What a wierd week to start blogging again. Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett died today. I’m laying out in my hammock in the yard and a car just drive by playing the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back”. I can’t even begin to say how odd it is and how sad it [...]

Infinite Jest

The day before yesterday I started in on David Foster Wallace’s book Infinite Jest. I can already see that it is going to be an Illuminatus! Trilogy sort of book, one that warps my brain and kicks it up and down the block a little. This is good.
I’m sitting in my car, in [...]

I wish the iPhone supported Bluetooth keyboards

I have long dreamed of using the iPhone as a blogging device and I do, but only in the most trivial of ways. I post pictures and tweets and things like that, not thoughtful writing.
The reason is simple. I mostly like the little virtual keyboard on the iPhone, but not enough to type [...]

The Lakers would never have won the NBA Finals if KG hadn’t hurt his knee. Celtics forever. Kobe sucks. #
