From Arthur Machen's "The White People"
“‘I am sorry to say,’ remarked Cotgrave, ‘that I have devoted very little of my time to theology. Indeed, I have often wondered on what grounds theologians have claimed the title of Science of Sciences for their favourite study; since the “theological” books I have looked into have always seemed to me to be concerned with feeble and obvious pieties, or with the...

Jean Stevens, Wyalusing Widow, Lived With Corpses... →
WYALUSING, Pa. (AP)— The 91-year-old widow lived by herself in a tumbledown house on a desolate country road. But she wasn’t alone, not really, not as long as she could visit her husband and twin sister.
No matter they were already dead. Jean Stevens simply had their embalmed corpses dug up and stored them at her house — in the case of her late husband, for more than a decade — tending to the...

'Weird Al' Yankovic - Tiny Desk Concert →
Several generations of nerds can chart the course of their lives against the career trajectory of “Weird Al” Yankovic. For me, his 1984 album In 3-D was the first record I ever owned, and his appearance at the Wausau County Fair in 1985 was the second concert I ever attended. I spent my 17th birthday being driven to the movie theater — by my mother, of course — to watch UHF, Yankovic’s debut as...
Marco.org: How I write and time-manage →

NYTimes: Does Reason Know What It Is Missing? →
The German philosopher Jürgen Habermas has long been recognized as the most persistent and influential defender of an Enlightenment rationality that has been attacked both by postmodernism, which derides formal reason’s claims of internal coherence and neutrality, and by various fundamentalisms, which subordinate reason to religious imperatives that sweep everything before them, often not...

Posted on by Kenneth van Wyk, Computerworld Posted on by Kenneth van Wyk, Computerworld
Yes, iPadurday has come and gone. Many of us have Wi-Fi iPads in our grubby little mitts. Early reviews have been mostly stellar. The device—and more importantly, the software running it—is superb, but certainly not perfect. And now we’ve seen Steve Jobs outline the next release of the operating system,...
