A blog about (not) blogging, and other experiences that take my breath away
I posted the following to presbymergent‘s website and it should, pending review, show up sometime over the course of the next week. I spent a little time working on it, so I didn’t quite have the time to write something for here this week, so I thought I would post it here as well. Enjoy!…

Ethical Health Care?
This afternoon I came across Peter Singer’s NYT Magazine article on rationing and health care. Now, as a philosophy major in undergrad, I was required to read Singer’s book entitled “One World” for Dallas Willard’s class on the history of Ethics. If you haven’t read him, I recommend it, because he certainly pushes the boundaries of what…

I couldn’t resist…

I wish I May
So MAYYYY-be I haven’t been the most bloggerific or blogtastic of bloggers lately; I must admit that blogging hasn’t even really been on my radar screen lately. There has just been so much else to worry about–getting (or more realistically NOT) a job, finishing classes, trying to battle a pernicious tendency of mine to procrastinate…

Productive time in Philadelphia
It has been a remarkably productive/positive week for me out here on the Right Coast. This is surprising in some respects, particularly given that it is spring break in Harvardland, and I would have assumed the week would therefore have been more or less forgettable in the wonderfully relaxed sense that a break often is.…
