i’d like to take the time right now to invite everyone to a summer reading group. We’ll be reading primarily modern philosophy (so far, Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason and Hegel’s Phenomenology of Spirit are definitely on the list) and possibly some of Aristotle. It’s mainly for some students at my university as we begin preparing for our comprehensive exams, but i’d like to invite others who are interested in reading a bit and discussing that reading. The discussion format will be a group blog i am setting up on my site. Email me @ christopher@impleri.net if you are interested. We’re planning to start mid-June and work through August.

- As Amarok 2 gets closer to a release, it is looking better and better. There's a new feature in the works that will give Pandora a good fight: music biases. - #
- Today, two great things (according to me, at least) have been released: Firefox 3 and Wine 1.0. Nearly everybody should know what Firefox is, however many probably don't know about Wine. It is an Open Source project that works as an abstraction layer so Linux (and other POSIX) users can run Windows programs (such as Photoshop) on Linux without needing to have Windows installed. - #
- After a long wait, it is official. I've been accepted to the University of Glasgow's doctoral program in theology. The term starts in late September, so I'll be moving some time between now and then. - #
- I found a few problems with my reading lists regarding dates. I've fixed them all so that it is relatively accurate. - #
