And swimming, I thought. But you're better positioned to know that.
Anyone else think the new Weblog logo is too big?
It excludes golf, anyway.
Surprisingly, it also excludes this one.
Weblog logo is too big
Yeah, and they could easily crop the top and not lose anything.
the new Weblog logo
Maybe if they turned it sideways. Like he was laying on the floor.
How's mohel school coming, Ogged?
I'll get it right yet, apo.
Is mohel school anything like barber school?
Yes, the logo is way too big.
Could someone with actual skill in graphics possibly do something based on that image that would be proportionate with past logos?
Yeah, I think I might be able to. I'll try now. Also, yr font is teh grainy.
Would you amenable to a different photo of Quine?
I'd be open to a different image, though I do like the folded hands.
The ass-patting but ostensibly non-sexual thing seems to work for activities with balls in them, but have runners, skaters, swimmers, skiers, and the like started patting each others' asses without my noticing?
I have never seen surfers patting each others' asses, except maybe when guys were "teaching" attractive women to surf.
B, not much happened here other than the power being out from fairly early yesterday morning until late last night. It sounds like there's a fair bit of damage on the Big Island but nothing too horrible. Here, aside from suggesting that we're not ready for an actual disaster, it was no big deal. Just shook the house a bit, freaked out cat and kid (and his friend who'd spent the night), and dropped the entire power grid.
Hey, if the power's got to be out, at least it's nice not to be living in someplace like, say, Buffalo. Glad nothing too horrible happened.
Hey do any of you philosophers and theologians feel like responding to this: a corrolary of "Kant's refutation of idealism in the second edition of the Critique" would be [if I am reading Blumenberg correctly] to proove that the world is eternal and without beginning, except that "this price, a corollary to his main result, must have seemed to him too high -- since it is inescapably Spinozan." -- I am starting a new blog, Coming out of the Cave, where I (a layman and not really a very fluent reader of German) am going to seeek understandinf of Very Interesting Philosophy Book Höhlenausgänge by Hans Blumenberg. If any of you would like to let me know how Kant's refutation of idealism does this and why this would have struck him as irredeemably Spinozan (or to tell me I must be reading Blumenberg wrong 'cause Kant said nothing like that and plus he liked Spinoza), please come comment over there. (This is just the very beginning of the book, and kind of dry -- it will quickly get Very Interesting.)
IIRC Kant wouldn't have thought that's a corollary, because the eternality of the world is one half of one of the antinomies.
I have referenced 20 over at my place, and tried to flesh it out a little.
