Do you know where your baby hedgehogs are?
Warning: if you click this link, you might die of cute overload. And then you’ll get really sad about global warming. Also: Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital? Are they kidding? That reminds me of Bill Hicks’ rant about British words like “hooligan” and such. I miss Hicks. Sigh. (I don’t [...]

So I was just taking a quick break, catching up on the socio-blogosphere, and here I see this link to a NYT article on The Public And The Private about observing a secular sabbath. The idea is that you pick one day a week to sort of unplug and just enjoy life, think, or whatever. [...]

All semester, this thought has been rattling around in my head. Actually, it’s a diagram. A half-formed zygote of an idea that looks vaguely venn-diagram-ish in my head.

Here is a much more eloquent, generalized explanation for why I’m switching careers right now… in the form of a JFK quote:
