I’ll be incommunicado (no blog updates, email responses, etc.) for the balance of Memorial Day weekend (driving across the country), but when I resurface bright and early on June 1, I’ll once again be calling Cambridge “my fair city.”
My intention is to document my trip in some fashion (via pictures or some sort of log), [...]

Returning the Plug
Posted in Uncategorized on May 26, 2004 | 2 Comments »
After many years of neglect, I just got back in touch with my old friend and former college roommate, a much welcome reacquaintence.
Since he was kind enough to point his readership in my direction, I thought I’d return the favor. Check out Radikal Papi, his personal blog with a very political bent. Also check [...]
Excerpt from Oblivion
Posted in Uncategorized on May 26, 2004 | 2 Comments »
Thanks to Ed for reporting on the online excerpt from David Foster Wallace’s forthcoming Oblivion. When I have a moment or three, I hope to actually get around to reading “Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature” and giving it a chance.
Till then, I’ll remain conflicted on whether to buy the book. As I’ve mentioned before, [...]
Grape Press Update
Posted in Uncategorized on May 21, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Over at my other site, I have recounted the continuing results of my survey (Who would you like to see as the subject of the next essay posted at The Grape Press?):
Immanuel Kant: 4
Martin Heidegger: 3
Saint Augustine: 2
It doesn’t matter to me. The whole site is just pretentious crap anyway, and I’m not interested in [...]
Tensions in Heidegger’s Hermeneutic Phenomenology
Posted in Uncategorized on May 20, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
In Being and Time, Heidegger raises “the question of the meaning of Being,” a question which he believes has been covered over by the history of ontology and which now “must be treated phenomenologically” (BT 49,50).1 When introducing phenomenology as a methodological conception that “expresses a maxim which can be formulated as ‘To the things [...]

Gmail Capacity: 1 Million MB?
Posted in Uncategorized on May 18, 2004 | 1 Comment »
When I logged into my Gmail account today, I found the following message displayed at the bottom of the screen:
Just yesterday, the message correctly indicated that 16 MB was 2% (rounding up) of my 1000 MB capacity. So, what gives? Is this message an error? Or am I really going to get a million megabytes [...]
Baby’s Named a Bad, Bad Thing
Posted in Uncategorized on May 17, 2004 | Leave a Comment »
Even if the topic were not especially timely for me, I’m sure I’d still get a kick out of Not Without My Handbag’s “Baby’s Named a Bad, Bad Thing” (the funniest thing I’ve seen online since “10 worst album covers of all time“):
It’s simple. Some parents are just plain crazy. But few are as crazy [...]
At Last: New Sedaris

The wait is almost over. David Sedaris’s new book, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, will be released on June 1.
Apropos of this wonderful news, I bring you an article on the roots of Sedaris’s storytelling and personal subject matter (link via Maud):
Competitive storytelling was a skill David Sedaris learned in a household of [...]
New Look
Posted in Uncategorized on May 13, 2004 | 4 Comments »
Lured by the new features offered by The Great Blogger Relaunch, The Olive Press is trying out a new look. Feel free to let me know what you think.
At the very least, I hope you’ll agree that the new, built-in comments feature pretty much blows away my previous Enetation comments (the archives of which [...]
