Laundry is the work of fools...

No way am I doing laundry right now. Not a chance! Unfortunately, I'm going to have to do a week's worth tomorrow, no doubt about it. Need to have clean pants for Dragon*Con. But I can tell you right now that I am going to be stocking up on nerdy tshirts like crazy when I am there. It's what it's there for.


Tonight, I read Thomas Kuhn and refamiliarize myself with his Structure of Scientific Revolutions. I have a pretty good handle on it and could teach it cold, but after a dull-as-dirt class on Monday, I feel like I should reward my students for surviving the "deciphering my comments" lecture. And that means not only knowing my shit, but really being on top of my game.

Tomorrow, we are talking about logical fallacies, which are always a hoot. Maybe I should read How to Think About Weird Things tonight instead, because if I remember correctly the author(s?) did a good job of categorizing logical fallacies in there. We'll see.

If you have any further questions about my minute-to-minute ponderings, whereabouts or pedagogy, check back here obsessively.

Atheists,

you are ENEMIES OF GOD AND ARE GOING TO BE ANNIHILATED...

Repent and turn to God or be destroyed...

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE...

my interpretation of the STATUE FIRE... it symbolizes the SPIRITUAL DEATH of atheism...

The B**BQUAKE - 911

Let me show you the FATE OF TRAITORS...

http://www.loiterink.com/photos/products/182_3424_500x500.jpg

they are incapable of telling the difference between SCIENTIFIC *FACT* AND
RELIGIOUS AND PHILOSOPHICAL *TRUTH*... FATAL ERROR!

they also preach a *VALUE FREE SCIENCE* called *POSITIVISM* that ignores the
inequalities of wealth and power in capitalist civilization...

for a sample taste of PZ Myers' GARBAGE...

So, ignoring the copypasta troll, I'd like to note that I am massively jealous of everybody going to the *Con. Despite living less than an hour from Atlanta, I've never been able to go, and to hear about everyone who's going to be there is just gravy.
