The Horror of the Atheist Apocalypse
Anyone else think it's funny that "Progress" looks like Daniel Dennet? Or maybe Dennet just looks like Santa and a lot of grown men look like Santa. What?

is it just the accent?
A blog has led me to wanting to see some films by Antonioni...obit here...no, ha, now i remember.
An article about architecture in the NYTimes entitled "It was fun til the money ran out." I wonder if it will be anything like that snazzy, 'inspirational' article about design getting better in bad times.
a couple links I have read: a City Paper (Baltimore) article on Alphonso Lingis, who sounds like a character...but i'm sure would be some sort of gooooo inspiration.
and a site about peoples daily routines, aptly named "Daily Routines" (including stefan sagmeister, gerhardt richter, mr rogers, and more).

Alphonso Lingis
“Go outside on a starry night and get a sense of the vastness of the universe. And realize that your fingerprint is enough to make you absolutely unique amidst all of that. Now consider how much more complicated your brain is than your fingerprint. Your brain is wired to do something that nothing else in the universe can do. And if you don’t do it, it’s not going to get done.”

articles i don't have time to read
Guarding the boundaries
by Anthony Daniels
On the moral consequences of relativism (from "The Dictatorship of Relativism.")
People of the Screen
Christine Rosen
The book is modernity’s quintessential technology—“a means of transportation through the space of experience, at the speed of a turning page,” as the poet Joseph Brodsky put it. But now that the rustle of the book’s turning page competes with the flicker of the screen’s twitching pixel, we must consider the possibility that the book may not be around much longer. If it isn’t—if we choose to replace the book—what will become of reading and the print culture it fostered? And what does it tell us about ourselves that we may soon retire this most remarkable, five-hundred-year-old technology?
The Philosophy Smoker's post and comments on pedigree. Seems like a horrible job season + Leiter's PGR = incessant commenting on blogs all over the -o-sphere. PGR here.
Also at Certain Doubts, PEA Soup.
David Rosenthal seems like a good philosopher to read some. Seems. Some. Wish come true with a home site with tons of article PDFs.
Ever kicked it with Bonnie Honig? Me neither. :(
Wouldn't it be great if there were a wiki site with links to homepages of all professional philosophers? Sounds kinda like FABB.
Philosophy depts ranked a bit differently
Andrew McGonigal at Leeds focuses his studies on Aesthetics.
A Revivified Corpse:
Left-Fascism in the Twenty-First Century
by Ernest Sternberg
on Bernard-Henry Levy
And I still haven't finished this review on a book on Nietzsche. But it's late, i've sillily let myself stay up til 4 again. TGIF, y'all.

philosophy
Here's a link to a lecture by Daniel Heller-Roazen that a couple blogs have linked to. this guy seems pretty amazing.
a book for a beer-drinking friend?
here's a large list of philosophers' or philosophy related blogs
i haven't read any lyotard yet, but i have a bit of enthusiasm for Enthusiasm, his book
on Kant's aesthetics and how they relate to politics...and his attempt to eek out a 4th critique from them (?!)
finally, here and here are a couple book reviews i'm interested in reading...probably...not at 2:45 in the morning, though.
