Sustainability and the Long Emergency

More here.

Spinning, Again

More silence here. It should end sooner rather than later. Consulting work has been keeping me busy in the early mornings and late evenings, and I haven’t had much time to write, though there’s plenty to think about. I’ve promised a few folks a long-ish entry taking account of my current political leanings, but that […]

Focus

I’m not very good at making decisions, especially when money is involved. A day in the life: Should I walk to the store on the corner and get an iced tea? Hmmm. That’s $.99. Perhaps I shouldn’t spend the money. I could just drink some cofee. And that iced tea has all sorts of sugar […]

Politics, and Vacation

I posted an entry over yonder about this NYT article. We’re heading to the New River Gorge for three days for some climbing and camping fun. Pictures will be forthcoming.

Dichotomies, False or Otherwise

Over the past week, I’ve been talking about intelligent design, evolution and the fracas in Kansas with a co-worker (hi, Glen!). What I’ve noticed is that the loudest voices in this situation (the Kansas situation, that is) ask us to choose — you’re either an evolutionist or a religious person.

Transformation (2)

Twenty four hours later, and I’m riding through downtown in a t-shirt and rolled up jeans. I’m moving quickly, sliding between cars and pedestrians. I slide on to the drops and hammer through the light at Smithfield and Liberty, and quickly, barely breaking cadence, I lean left to 10th Street, and then right to Penn […]

The Bible and Politics

I’ve been spending quit a bit of time thinking about the relationship of faith and participation in the Public Square. A critical part of this has been examining the Bible to find what God’s tells us about what our involvement should look like. As James Brink has already pointed out, this is essentially a theological […]

Bucks for Bikes

Hat Tip: Eli Congress is considering a tax break for employers and monthly compensation for bicycle commuters. I’ll be watching this closely. I’m also curious what sort of stipulations will be attached should the bill pass (do you have to ride five days a week?).

News About American Apparel

It seems while American Apparel is sweat-shop free, they still don’t treat their employees so well.
