Things On My Mind Today
"As one of the wilder critics, David Frum, puts it: 'If the United States was caught unawares on 9/11, Edward Said’s name belongs high on the list of those responsible.'"
Stephen Howe writes in The New Humanist about the controversy still surrounding Edward Said.
"I said 'Not so fast. There was a round two that had to be addressed'* - Shaprio
Brian Leiter and Scott Shapiro have a chat about legal philosophy.
are we still askin what art is for? and trying to figure out the art world? Yes. Check out this article by Nicolai Ouroussoff and the accompanying slide show for some pretty great stuff.
In fact, check out these articles about Renzo Piano's new building and Tara Donovan's work--mostly exploring repetition in one material (swoon*).

Piece. Meal.
Boris Groys's recent exhibit here in NYC was fun (i'll remember where later). His attention to the replacement of religion by design intrigues. He talks. We listen. And a college says 'Boo' to Nietzsche. What else is new?
Anyone else have romantic ideas of preserving architecture in Buffalo? (Didn't think so.) Well, for those of you who won't get off your hineys, check out this Google Earth recreation of ancient Roma.
It's all fun and games until someone connects 'left-handed' to sinister. 50 things about Barack O-Beezy you probably knew half of. Too bad it's not funny. It's just "stupid." Really, I think Beyonce's kid sista is definitely a higher-up, even if she doesn't sound like the MGMT.
Unlike NBC's "Green Week" BS, a lot of the 'greening' of America won't come in ways Tiki Barber and Jerome Bettis will suggest. Architecture firm SOM is teaming up with Rensselaer to found the Center for Architecture Science and Ecology, or CASE. And Treehugger has a couple suggestions for Green sex. also hybrid car sex positions a la barbie dolls....
...Which brings me to 'Meh' which may or may not unfairly paint future goats as indifferent.

Hmmmm....Still Missing Proper Nouns.
Book Reviews by an anonymous character.
Was once given this guy's email and told to ask him what to do about having 'renaissance-type tastes.' seems like his one-bit is more than just a one-trick pony.
Did I post this already? Someone must have. How we Read Online is a great read and a great experiment.
Wow, I would have loved to see these cats at the Hadid thingy in central park last month. Smarmy PR folk aside (including Jeff Koons), NYTimes vid (questionable link) made it look quite dazzlin'.
Here's a payment method that i think Citibank might be pickin up and takin onto the Android platform. We'll see...but it's pretty cool-lookin.
And...way to rep Portland's weirdness outside the city boarders...a fun russian history class, anyone?
Finally, a link to the best Philosophy articles of 2007 as decided by the Philosopher's Annual
