Monday Morning Video
It’s another Monday morning. My vacation is over, which makes me sad. But I have an interesting video to share with you. My friend J posted this on his FB page on Saturday and it caught my eye.

Not Really Weekly Linkroll
So, last Sunday, I mentioned that the weekly link post wasn’t doing it for me anymore. However, I still find links that I must.share.with.everyone because that’s just how I am. I decided that a more random approach might be worth a try. Random, in that there won’t be a set day during the week these […]

We Interrupt This Program…

The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin – A Review
Nothing endures, nothing is precise and certain (except the mind of a pedant), perfection is the mere repudiation of that ineluctable marginal inexactitude which is the mysterious inmost quality of Being. – H.G. Wells,A Modern Utopia To let understanding stop at what cannot be understood is a high attainment. Those who cannot do it will […]

Monday Morning Music
It’s going to be so hot this week. And I live several hours away from the beach, which is where I’d much rather be this morning. So, today, you get a two-fer, in the hopes I don’t melt before the end of the week. First up, the Incredible Casuals (a band that, combined with the […]
