This Is a Knock on Your Screen

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

This blog is getting close to being 5 years of age and I am in careful ponderance what kind of celebrations would be adequate for this occasion. Being in so long slumber has drained me from practically any human readers, so I am thinking I would get free with just getting drunk personally. On the other hand I did promise to bring about some kind of festivities e.g. a year ago.

So, I throw the proverbial ball to my potential human readers, would you like to see some kind of party arranged to celebrate the five years of this blog? And more so, would you attend that party? Let me know, there’s a comment ability to this blog you know!

Even the bots among you can answer, if you can motivate why you like me so much…

“No, You Will Think! You Will Use Your Mind!”

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

I was expending my time at the local Universitys cafeteria with some people who share my major. We were discussing on the subject one of their seminar papers that one of them had just finished.

The discussion concluded with the writer becoming, with one strike (as it appeared to me) of academic understanding, aware of that she really didn’t know anything about the subject she had written, about the reason why she chose to write about the subject and why she chose exactly those people whos ideas she wrote about. I felt priviledged and somewhat humbled to be in present with such happening. Some people leave the academia never to have experienced anything like she did. Hell, some people leave this life without that experience.

What she went through right there and then was, in my not-so-humble-opinion, the most solid offering the University can offer to you. In this case becoming aware of your own shortcummings as a knowledge-wielding creature. Doubt, self-reflection and mistakes are what keeps this boat going.

No April Fools Around here

Sunday, April 1st, 2007

I am not a convincing person, at least, not in my on-line form. For the past few years I have tried to pull a manner of April fool tricketry with this blog with non-existant to miniscule success. It is possible that my April foolery has costed me an interest of a employing party. It is for these reasons why I’ve decided to give up on it.

There will be no more April foolery on this blog.
