Plato's Footnotes

Here we go again, on our own: http://orient.bowdoin.edu/orient/article.php?date=2010-02-19&section=2&id=6 For supplemental and related reading, you might be interested in: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/21/opinion/21bayh.html?pagewanted=1&hp It’s by Senator Bayh from Indiana who recently announced his retirement because of partisanship in Congress. I started a new book! http://www.amazon.com/Missing-Peace-Inside-Story-Middle/dp/0374529809/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1266766172&sr=8-1 I was attempting to read a book a week which has utterly failed, but [...]

My latest article is in the paper this week: http://orient.bowdoin.edu/orient/article.php?date=2010-02-05&section=2&id=2 Once again, I wish earlier drafts of the article were posted right along side the final draft (along with perhaps all of the various articles and books that I read doing research) so that, regardless of the final product, I seemed very determined if not [...]

*blows dust off blog* I have a radio show again this semester! There was a bit of a scheduling snafu so we only have an hour (rather than an hour and a half like last semester) and the time is a little inconvenient, but all is well. Lindsey and I will be hosting “The Patchwork [...]

Furthermore, I really just didn’t have enough space to say everything that I [...]

I wrote another article this week. I didn’t quite have as much time for it as I would have liked because of my play last weekend, but I’ll be writing again in two weeks and will have considerably more time between now and then. I also realized that the theme of my three pieces thus [...]

It looks like I’ll be writing a couple of times this semester for the school newspaper. I’m a “contributor”, which means I can write in up to half of the issues (which is more than enough given the amount of time it takes me to write and edit a single article). I had another one [...]

The Patchwork Philharmonic, my radio show from last fall, is back up and running this year! We’re a half hour longer than we were before, so we have a full hour and a half to play pretty much whatever we want. We also have a new segment entitled something like “Happy Moment” when we’ll be [...]
