March 31, 2011 – CDs, the R’s.
Ah – a CD day! Today, the R’s. The highlights – Rainmakers – I know, I know…you’ve never heard of these guys. But, that’s because…unlike me, you didn’t go to college in the Midwest in the 80s. But trust me, … Continue reading
March 30, 2011 – No need to keep this for one scene.
Got this a couple of years ago as a Christmas present. I admit, I’ve got a bit of a mancrush on Michael Cera. Put that kid in a movie, and I know I’ll enjoy quite a bit of it. That … Continue reading
March 29, 2011 – I guess I didn’t want.
So here’s a book about the coming evolution of technology – what it means, and thinking of technology as an active organism. While I find the topic fascinating, I give this to the RID pile today — because I realize … Continue reading
March 28, 2011 – Morality.
Today, I give away this philosophy book by Sam Harris. I always struggle when people tell me atheists don’t have any moral system. Frankly, I’m amazed at the things I hear about atheists. Most things I hear would be patently … Continue reading
March 27, 2011 – Great movie, terrible photo.

March 26, 2011 – Two frames.

March 25, 2011 – On local history.
When I moved to Seattle – oh, so many years ago…I made an effort to bone up on the region’s history. Which was great…because Seattle was founded by a bunch of shysters, hooligans, and thieves. Good reading. I need to … Continue reading
March 24, 2011 – On gatherings.
I’m in NYC right now, and it makes me think about people gathering…the advantages of it, the amazing things that happen when real people get together for real conversations. Today, I RID this book about the kinds of places that … Continue reading
March 23, 2011 – A special CD post about “favorites.”
Eagle-eyed readers of this blog will notice that I’m giving away only one CD day – a flagrant violation of my “at least 5 CDs at a time” rule… But, I thought this CD warranted its own entry. I just got … Continue reading
March 22, 2011 – The defense rests?
It’s a little rough living in Texas and being an atheist. You always feel like a bit of an alien walking around, what with your different set of beliefs and principles. So, today I RID a book about making a … Continue reading
What I got rid of today.
