You Can’t Win Them All 24 Aug 2013 | 01:33 am
I hope that post title doesn’t sound flip. It’s not intended that way at all. I might have used the title, “The Agony of Defeat,” if my friend, Scott Greenfield, hadn’t already done so. That post, an...
Open Your Eyes and Act 5 Aug 2013 | 01:22 am
Paul Virilio offers up this observation taken from an unknown science-fiction story: There are eyes everywhere. No blind spot left. What shall we dream of when everything becomes visible? We’ll dream...
The Clouds 28 Jul 2013 | 11:44 pm
SOCRATES. Do you really wish to know the truth of celestial matters? STREPSIADES. Why, truly, if ‘tis possible. SOCRATES. … and to converse with the clouds, who are our genii? STREPSIADES. Without ...
George Zimmerman & Reasonable Doubt 23 Jul 2013 | 01:36 am
This post was originally written as part two of a two-part post. I split the post into two primarily because I figured if it took me two days to write it — and it was twice as long as even my longer a...

I was going to call this post, “They’re Still Free to Post Cat Pictures on Facebook,” but I realized as I was thinking about writing it, that I was bothered by more than just one thing. And that’s usu...
