It really is a unique experience to be at a party for seminarians–espescially when it’s after midnight and everyone has had a little too much to drink (just a little bit, because people were mostly drinking beer and you can’t get really wasted drinking beer.) So Friday night I went to a BU School [...]

I came across this guide to Barcelona on the web today. It looked pretty unique. I guess it’s just my day to suggest research material.

I read this interview with Neal Stephenson in Reason Online because I’m reading his book Cryptonomicon right now. I wasn’t expecting to find a brief discussion of Walter Wink and the theology of domination systems. What I find particularly interesting here is that Reason is a libertarian magazine. Stephenson is saying that [...]

I don’t know why I was surprised to see that former Attorney General and party animal Janet Reno was at the Grammy Awards last night. What is undeniably strange, however, is that she was only the second scariest looking person on the green carpet.
