Reading last week’s issue of The Economist, I had an odd realization:
How exactly does one write about censorship of the press?
Another one for the philosophers to debate, I suppose.

As I rode to work this morning on my packed bus, I saw something that gave me a chuckle: a stack of hot-off-the-press Willamette Weeks sitting out in front of Sassy’s, a divey SE strip club. How appropriate for this city. The moment someone opens a brewpub strip club in this city is [...]

I’m having sleep problems again. Monday morning I woke up to the sound of my alarm through the fog of morning insomnia, and I felt like it never really passed throughout the whole day. I don’t remember waking up in the middle of the night, or tossing and turning, but all I know [...]

It’s been awhile since I had a snow day, so I’m happy to report that the firm closed for the day given the snow that’s been falling since before I got up this morning. They did a two-hour delayed opening at first to evaluate the weather, but I had a feeling they were going [...]

Whenever it gets cold in my apartment I work on my computer, for some odd reason my right hand gets colder than my left hand. Actually, a great deal colder. Most likely because I use my mouse with my right hand and it’s exposed and doesn’t get as much circulation, but with the [...]

This time of year I seem to write less and less, and in fact, going back and looking at my archives to remember what year I got a particular gift for Christmas is usually a waste of time since I don’t write until days or even weeks after the holidays, and I subsequently neglect to [...]
