The redesign is mostly complete. I’m sure I missed a template or two, and for whatever reason, MTOtherBlog isn’t working in this section’s monthly archive — it pulls in the entries for this blog, rather than my sidebar blog. Minor problems.

A complete site redesign is currently in the works. It’s been two years, so I think it’s time for a change. The actual layout and design is finished, but I’ve still got to convert the copious number of MovableType templates we use. Expect a new look by the end of the week.

A friend passed along this website, IDFuel, an industrial design blog. Lots of interesting stuff, with an emphasis on environmentally-conscious design.

Dignan has two good posts that are worth passing along. First, a short post containing a quote from author of the Left Behind series, worth repeating here: “Revelations” is “a mishmash of myth, silliness, and misrepresentations of Scripture.” That’s really laugh-out-loud funny, considering the source. Also, Dignan passes along some “wisdom” from James Dobson. It […]

It was a fine weekend for less-than-mainline sports… First, the queen of cycling’s spring classics, Paris-Roubaix (the Hell of the North) was run today in Northern France. Belgian Tom Boonen capped a fine week, winning in a sprint ahead of George Hincapie and Juan Flecha (Boonen took the Tour of Flanders last weekend, joining the […]

I’ve been rather active in the current current discussion about Terri Schindler-Schiavo. I’ve discovered that my opinions don’t fit well on either side of the argument, and I’ve been active because this sort of situation has been more than an ideological exercise for me in the past. But after several days of hard thought and […]

Some random Googling to answer a pop culture trivia question at work led me to find that Francis Ford Coppola is filming Jack Kerouac‘s On the Road. I had two academic obsessions in college — Ludwig Wittgenstein and Kerouac, so I’m interested to see what Coppola does with the book. I also discovered that Kerouac’s […]

After temperatures hovering around 60 earlier in the week, winter has refused to go quietly into that goodnight. Tuesday morning brought high winds, snow, and ice back to the city. The conditions were the worst I’ve ridden in so far — it rained the previous evening, then as the temperatures dropped, it began to snow. […]

Things have been quiet, and I’m still trying to put my finger on way. Perhaps it’s the weather — after three perfect spring days, I awoke this morning to sound of car tires on wet pavement and an even coating of snow of ground. I rode home yesterday in a t-shirt and pants, and now, […]

Brian Weatherson, Crooked Timber contributor, has a interesting post about a bit of a tiff between Richard Rorty and Scott Soames that started as book critiques and morphed into ad hominen attacks and academic swipes. One of the concepts in dispute is the growing study of vagueness (non-philosophers, click the link at your own peril). […]
