It’s that time again for my annual pilgrimage eastward. We leave first thing in the morning for the blissful ten hour drive in our fuel economic (read: uncomfortable) Toyota Echo (and not the last models … the first one heh). Will be gone but not disconnected for the next eight weeks. Since posting has beenContinue reading “Summer Holidays”

I am struggling with the apparent lack of wysiwyg formatting of WordPress in terms of my cv. I apologize for its crowdedness till I get it all resolved. Someday I should REALLY think about hosting my own site …
Online Communities and the Delete Button
My oldest daughter has been part of various online, forum-style role-playing communities for the past several years. She has made quite a few good friends over the years, as the communities develop layers of interaction, social circles expand and she feels a real sense of friendship (unity) with individual members of each community. Over the years, one communityContinue reading “Online Communities and the Delete Button”

A great alternative to the traditional tunes, woxy offers holiday tunes with a punch. One of my favorite partsContinue reading “Holiday Music”

New Books
Not sure how much time I will be able to sink my teeth into these in the very near future, but I happily purchased Truth and Method by Gadamer (thank you to a friend for the reference) and The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge by Berger & Luckman which IContinue reading “New Books”
