Matt Good – move over theory, its back to politics! In between my bouts of work, welcomes procrastination. I was sitting back, listening to Matthew Good (damn i love that guy!) and started dilly dallying looking for a good pic for my desktop [ya ya, im as shallow as the next guy!] and i stumbledContinue reading “Matt Good – move over theory, its back to politics…”

More Lyotard In reply to Sashay’s post on the fear suffered by many people when it comes to technology – and indeed any form of change, J.F.

FINALLY finished all my [school] work that is due before the break…As much relief as i feel to be done, there is always something looming on the horizon. Tomorrow, there is a launch for the research group iContinue reading “Anti-Climatic Like anything else that builds an…”

When it all starts to look the same… I’ve been working on a paper for my Contemporary Social Theory class (among too many other things it seems) and I have reached a point where all the readings are melding into one another…Even in the standard Foucault/Habermas debates, i am seeing similarities in thought – theContinue reading “When it all starts to look the same… I’ve bee…”
