The Moviegoer: August 2006
http://the-moviegoer.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 30, 2006. Thomas Sheehan Interview in Contemplatio. It looks like the undergraduate philosophy journal Contemplatio. Has an interview with Thomas Sheehan. While the whole interview was quite interesting to me, I especially enjoyed this last exchange:. C: What advice would you give to someone contemplating. Philosophy as a career? S: I really have no advice for anyone else. I can only tell you some. Things that concern me when I do philosophy. Radical as reality itself. Of ideas, the ide...

The Moviegoer: July 2007
http://the-moviegoer.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 10, 2007. So I've been doing a trial run of Netflix ever since I heard my friend Brant was using it. It's great! They have all the movies I've been dying to rent but which are never, ever in the local video store. Not sure how it compares to Blockbuster, but I like the web interface a lot better than the Blockbuster interface I tried out (it lets me do things like search by language, and the schematization of the films is superior imo). Posted by Moviegoer @ 10:58 AM 0 comments. Some people...

The Moviegoer: April 2006
http://the-moviegoer.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 30, 2006. A thought experiment occurred to me the other day. Suppose you were marooned on a tropical island. After getting your bearings and enjoying a few papayas you decide to explore the island to see if it's deserted. While walking along the beach you discover a stopwatch in the sand. You know it must have belonged to a human because:. If you chose 'b', does this mean all comparisons of living creatures with human equipment is, in the end, a fatally flawed analogy?

The Moviegoer: Myopia in American Academic Philosophy
http://the-moviegoer.blogspot.com/2006/07/myopia-in-american-academic-philosophy.html
Friday, July 14, 2006. Myopia in American Academic Philosophy. In a post that's begging to get philosophers frothing at the mouth denouncing the evils of French-influenced humanities departments. Prof Jason Stanley artfully introduces what probably ought to be (and maybe is) a topic of concern in American academics: the complete neglect of Angle-American philosophical interests within non-philosophical humanities programs. That French intellectual life involves such a unification of concerns, and that Am...

The Moviegoer: Macrons - Why the Mac Rocks Over Windows
http://the-moviegoer.blogspot.com/2006/07/macrons-why-mac-rocks-over-windows.html
Friday, July 07, 2006. Macrons - Why the Mac Rocks Over Windows. So I'm adding the finishing touches to an old Latin drill program I wrote using PyObjC. A bridge to the OS X native Cocoa programming platform and descendent of NeXTStep), when I realize how much easier it is to program good software on a Mac. It's all in the simple things, in fact. Hence the challenge for any software program that provides drills on Latin declensions/conjugations. Go to this page. To get the layout! Three cheers for OS X!

The Moviegoer: Silly Anglicans
http://the-moviegoer.blogspot.com/2006/06/silly-anglicans.html
Friday, June 23, 2006. Well, before ELCA does something even sillier, I'm going to capitalize on some riotously funny quotes Chad has posted at his blog site The Vossed World. Presiding Bishop-elect Katharine Jefferts Schori: "Our mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation. And you and I are His children.". Posted by Moviegoer @ 11:03 AM. Comments: Post a Comment.
