Real estate isn’t really what this blog is about, but it comes up somewhat regularly in relationship to my keen interest in both residential building design and community planning. And, as regular readers will note, my wife and I have recently been thinking of selling our home and buying another. NPR’s Morning Edition made note […]
Culture, the arts and Obama
Tech Crunch <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/01/15/brief-obama-transition-team-turns-to-salesforcecom-to-solicit-citizen-policy-ideas/">pointed</a> to the <a href="http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov">Citizen’s Briefing Book</a> on President Elect Barack Obama’s website <a href="http://change.gov">Change.gov</a>.

From a young age, like many of my peers, I wanted to play for the Cornhuskers (formerly the Bugeaters). This dream quickly faded when I realized my genes […]
Sleep as counter-culture

In my sleep-deprived stupor I re-read the essay and thought it worth posting […]
