How You Know We’re Old: VHS Tapes in an iPod doc box

Tara Schaubert over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

I found these on my walk and it’s how you know we are old: VHS tapes getting pitched inside an iPod dock box. Eras criss cross and once breaking tech gets lumped in and junked with its predecessor.

Brooklyn Clock Tower — 1 Hanson pl

What’s the name of the Brooklyn clock tower? It’s 1 Hanson pl. But my family votes we name it Big Art — art for Arthur as a companion to Big Ben, but also as a sign of Brooklyn’s influence on culture.

Snagged a shot of the Bushwick Savings Bank when we were up there helping a friend move. It feels to me as if it could be from anywhere in the country, really.

When to write violence or sex? Re: Brandon Sanderson

Lancelot Schaubert over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

Hope this comes off with the curious, reflective spirit in which it’s intended. You can never tell on the internet, but I wanted to respond to something Brandon Sanderson (whom I respect) said about violence and sex depicted in media. I wanted to respond to the 36:52 section of ep.11 of Intentionally Blank: I’ll admit, […]

John Vorhaus interview

Lancelot Schaubert — What was the impetus behind this book, John Vorhaus? John Vorhaus — In my professional life I have two classes of clients. One is, broadly speaking, writers and other creative types. The other is, unexpectedly, people trying to get into to business schools like HBS and the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Let’s consider the predicate logic of the statement “God cannot create a stone he cannot lift”: Let: […]

Of the Making of Books there Is No End?

Lancelot Schaubert over at The Showbear Family Circus - Lancelot Schaubert's and Tara Schaubert's liberal arts circus. said ::

I grew up in a fairly conservative religious community that abhorred study and praised ignorance, in a way.

They believed along what Asimov said of many Americans: that my ignorance is as good as anyone […]
