Happy 2014!
I like the fresh-start feel of the Gregorian new year. Like a number of folks I know, I see the time between Halloween/Samhain and January 1 as a sort of hibernation/reflecting/rooting time. I don’t go out much, I spend a … Continue reading
Social Media is Making me Crazy: Twitter/Facebook vs. the Monkeysphere
The Monkeysphere is a great concept. The idea is, we can only relate to so many people as actual humans; everybody else is sort of abstract to us. The people we relate to are inside our monkeysphere, everyone else is … Continue reading

Driving Culture Shock
Recently, I went back to the SF Bay Area in California. It was my first trip back to the place I always thought I would call home, and I knew there would be weirdness and change, etc. I was not … Continue reading
Set Lightbox to “On”
So, my posting lately hasn’t been so regular, much as I would love to be doing Maxim Monday religiously. I’ve informed myself that it’s my blog, so I can update when I feel like it, and if I don’t, then … Continue reading

Maslow Is a Dick
So. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. It’s pretty cool: I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the fact that we, as a culture, here in the US (and really, most of Western civilization as a whole), have solutions and plans to … Continue reading
Maxim Monday: Γαμειν μελλε

The Holy Shit Rule
There’s a quote I run across every now and then, attributed to William Morris: “Have nothing in your house which you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.” I like it a lot, because it’s a … Continue reading
Discipline and Self-Care
So, as long-time readers of this blog may remember, I am no fan of Chris Guillibeau. However, the fantabulous Bombchelle linked to a recent post of his in her newsletter, and I read it and actually liked it. The gist of … Continue reading
Maxim Monday: Σαυτον ισθι
Ah, the classic: Be/Know Yourself (Σαυτον ισθι). Everyone’s heard this at some point, right? Well, let’s take a look at the Greek, just for curiosity’s sake. (As usual, definitions are from my trusty Liddell and Scott Greek-English Lexicon, with occasional support … Continue reading
Getting Ready
Things are busy, but in an orderly sort of way. My folks were in town two weeks ago, which was awesome but threw all my routines off for a while. Now I’m using HabitRPG for tracking my to do list and … Continue reading
