Bedtime and Blog Prospects
Posted on June 6, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, College | Leave a Comment
That time, many hours ago, when I should have gone to bed. Instead I stayed up, watched rubbish, ate garbage, and then sat at my laptop, riding the web like a true idiot internaut. I didn’t even have anything to do, and I was in fact rather tired, but I still sat here like a [...]

Ross Douthat on the Presidential Freak Show
Posted on April 21, 2008 - Filed Under American Politics, Blogging, Political Philosophy | Leave a Comment
Ross Douthat is, like Andrew Sullivan, an Atlantic writer and blogger. He’s a thoughtful conservative who writes very well and eschews the hysterics so typical of the political blogosphere. Given my liberal inclinations, reading his posts is generally a bracing experience, and frequently causes me to look at issues in a slightly altered light.
For instance, [...]
Ross Douthat

Ross Douthat writes for The Atlantic, and I highly recommend his blog to everybody, particularly those of a leftward persuasion. He a very talented writer who blogs thoughtful and well-considered posts from a conservative perspective.
Why is it that…

… every time I wish my blog was awash with witty comments and heated debate it morphs into a barren desert of apathy? I mean, it’s never the most happening spot in the blogosphere, but it’s been very flat for the past week. I know complaining about it doesn’t help; I’m only writing this so [...]

It seems to be tanking faster than the Clinton campaign.

Maybe it’s just because it’s late, but the headline of this Economist blog post brought a smile to my face.
And of course there was also this picture:
And a reader left a rather funny comment after the post where this picture of idiotic GOP bumper-stickers appeared:

The Terrible Thing About Blogging
Posted on January 19, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging | 1 Comment
Blogs are like online journals, with the important difference that everyone can read blogs, whereas journals are typically only read by their owners. However, once you start blogging after having kept journals of some description previously, then there’s a natural tendency to write about much the same stuff in both. This becomes a problem when [...]

It’s under the ‘Neoconservatism Explained’ post, and is probably the work of some sort of spambot that posts comments on blog posts where the word “neoconservatism” is used a lot (initially my comment filter had marked it as spam). Still though, some poor, delusional fool must have written it in the first place.
John Waters is a Stupid Luddite
Posted on January 12, 2008 - Filed Under Blogging, Ireland | 1 Comment
I saw him speak/ramble incoherently about religion at the Philosoph, I’ve seldom found his articles to be worth reading (a good 60% of them seem to be given over to tired attacks feminism), and by all accounts he made an ass of himself when he participated in the Eurovision Song Contest, but despite all this [...]
Links 2, Links 2, Links 2,3,4

(Read that as “Links zwo, links zwo, links zwo, drei, vier” from Rammstein’s song ‘Links 2,3,4‘).
I’ve added some new links in the sidebar. In particular, I think that Andrew Sullivan is worth checking out. He’s an American conservative with an atypical bio, and a very good writer to boot. If anyone wants their own link [...]
More Blaqk Audio

‘If Only’ by Blaqk Audio.
I’ve posted this clip before, but I like it, and I don’t mind promoting the band some more, despite several unkind things that I’ve heard said about them recently. Plus I get to mess with the embedded-video-customisation-feature on YouTube, which I hadn’t noticed before. Hopefully the red border looks extremely tasteful.
Video Free Page

By my calculations this post should bump the last video off this page, thus fulfilling my commitment not post anymore videos for a while. My essay’s going great by the way - 918 words and most of the heavy philosophizing down, circa 800 words and some semi-predictable arguments to go. Anyhow, I must get [...]
