Best Buy: I’m their poster sucker.

January 11, 2008

Clearly I’ve uploaded a new version of WordPress and well…I have a mess to clean up now. At least I won’t be bored this weekend, huh?

Nuts, Friends, and Nuclear Generators, or Something of that Nature

Observations on ambivalence

October 17, 2007

ambivalent (adj.) having mixed feelings or contradictory ideas about something or someone… Yesterday late in the afternoon, I received an email referencing this piece. I’ve read it several times since, and caught myself mulling over aspects of it. Politeness. Authority. Acculturation and silence. Self-negation.
