To Lulu or To CreateSpace?
How recently would that question have made no sense at all? Having played around a bit with Amazon’s CreateSpace service (Those books on the sidebar: They’re mine, I swearsies), I find it functional, intuitive, and free. Zero complaints about how the system works or how Amazon pays out. Yeah, you don’t make tons of money,… Read More To Lulu or To CreateSpace?
TROLOLOLOLOLOL
C.S. Lewis once wrote: Suppose one reads a story of filthy atrocities in the paper. Then suppose that something turns up suggesting that the story might not be quite true, or not quite so bad as it was made out. Is one’s first feeling “Thank God, even they aren’t quite so bad as that,” or… Read More TROLOLOLOLOLOL
HIMYM Does Not End. HIMYM Never Ends.
Apparently the season finale is Monday. I’m not going to watch it until Tuesday at the latest, because I only watch HIMYM on the web. I’ve been marginally involved this season. Everything has felt really tired. The only episode that didn’t feel like warmed-over Season 5 was the “Time Travel” episode, and even only impressed… Read More HIMYM Does Not End. HIMYM Never Ends.
Incoming Geekery
With summer comes a teacher’s vanity. Educators are vouchsafed 10 weeks to rest, recharge, and remember all the other things in their lives. I have never known those 10 weeks but they burned by while you got maybe half of what you wanted to get done actually delivered. It’s a function of our mechanized world:… Read More Incoming Geekery
A Reality Show to Send People to Mars?
This would be the first reality show that would accomplish anything worthwhile. My mind is filled with misgivings on this. In the first place, reality shows have less than a proven track record at distinguishing the truly talented from the merely photogenic (Name the debut albums of any five American Idol winners). I can’t escape the… Read More A Reality Show to Send People to Mars?
I Do Believe Benghazi Just Flipped From “Not Going Away” to “Quite Uncomfortably Here”
Bureaucrats are generally dis-inclined to take the heat for politicians. The blue-on-blue is particuarly encouraging. Is this a function of Obama’s declining coattails, as donkeys seek distance in preparation for 2014? I wonder how long before Obama feels the need to throw Hillary — or some other mucky-mucks at State — under the bus? Jammie-Wearing… Read More I Do Believe Benghazi Just Flipped From “Not Going Away” to “Quite Uncomfortably Here”
Profitable Exhaustion
Was out of town for a wedding this weekend, which was nice: a little break-up of the routine, a chance to put on my summer suit. Left Darling Daughter with the Mother-in-Law and spent the night at a hotel. The ceremony and reception were on a converted manor, with trees and a creek. A lovelier… Read More Profitable Exhaustion
Russell Taylor – In praise of UKIP
I don’t know anything about the UK Independence party, but Russel Taylor casts it in very Tea Partyish terms. The Tories have responded by insisting UKIP has no real policies, to which I would say that this hasn’t held them back. Their ragtag combination of Keynesianism and liberal dogma doesn’t represent a coherent response to the mess… Read More Russell Taylor – In praise of UKIP
Why You Should Read the Classics
Victor Davis Hanson reminds us that nothing is new under the sun, and the old books remind us that we’ve been here before. (via Ace) We can learn from classics that most of us are more likely to resent superiority than to reward it, to distrust talent than to develop it. With classical training, our… Read More Why You Should Read the Classics
