WP on whether Glenn Beck's rise is good for Mormonism. It's a mixed bag. It seems to reduce the animosity by some Evangelicals towards us but inflames more liberals towards us. He's definitely not representative of us, from what I can see. But then who is?

Being conscious of one's own motive is not a necessary condition for moral responsibility. Or so says people's intuitions.
#
Levi reads Glenn Beck in light of the Stoics. I know next to nothing about Beck's actual beliefs beyond his being highly influenced by Skousen's conspiracy theories from the 50's (and perhaps Skousen's theology?). BTW - I mean to reply to Levi's post on Peirce and OOP but just have been swamped.

New Scientist has an article on biosemiotics. It's pretty interesting and avoids a lot of the hyperbole NS sometimes falls prey to. I really think Peircean styled semiotics will be the wave of the 21st century. In many ways OOP is just retracing his steps (albeit with slightly different metaphysics in some cases).
#
Human nature is depressing. Doing good viewed as bad. This seems like a pretty obvious and common fact about human behavior to me. It's not the only aspect to human nature though but heaven knows we have some bad instincts.
#
Virus linked to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I mentioned a prior study last year.
#
NYT on the alternatives to the normal journal & peer review route. Weird they didn't mention arxiv which is the physics paper repository site. That was started at Los Alamos way back in 1991. It switched names and location to Cornell in 1999. The humanities are johnny come latelies to all this.

Kurt Gödel, Albert Einstein and the misprint demons at BCC. Some of the other stories about Gödel in the comments are nearly as good.

The Blog

OK, I’m obviously vastly behind again in blog writing. Sorry, blogging is my lowest priority activity. I’ll still be posting but probably not as much as I’d have liked. I have a new baby coming in just three short weeks, a new store opening, and a lot else I’ve been doing.

Swine Flu

Sorry for no posts. I came down with a very, very bad case of swine flu and ended up needing hospitalization for it. (I need assistance to breath) It really sucks – especially given how hard I tried to get the vaccine. I’m still in the hospital and have no idea when I’ll be out.

Update on the Blog

OK, I’m slowly getting back into blogging here again. I thought I’d mention a few minor changes. First, the sideblog entries will now show up with the rss feed. Let me know if you don’t like that. Basically if a post is just a few sentences it goes in the sideblog. I’ll be updating the [...]

Back Next Week

I’ll be coming off my “vacation” from philosophy blogging next week.

Tech Blogging

We got some huge contracts at work that probably will keep me busy for the next few months. I’ll still be blogging here but don’t really have the time to dedicate to thinking through philosophy. So posting will be erratic. (Subscribe via rss to see when I post) I do have a more technologically oriented [...]

I’m Back

OK, sorry once again for the paucity of posts the past period. I’ve got a slew of stuff to write but just haven’t had time to write it all. I’ll start updating the sidebar so check it out. I’ll hopefully have a few posts added today as well. We’ve had a few ups and downs [...]

Blog Upgraded

Hey, the blog upgrade is complete. I’m still tweaking a few things. So if something odd happens, forgive me. Basically I’m on a server that is considerably less flakey, has better bandwidth and so forth. So I’m pretty happy.

San Francisco

Just a note. The reason there haven’t been any posts this week is because I’m in San Francisco. I’ll be back Monday and likely posting.

Server Up and Down

I’m getting ready to test moving our DNS entry to our new server and then seeing if everything works there. So things may be going up and down a bit today. My apologies if this inconveniences anyone.

Blog Update

Just a quick note. I updated the blog somewhat. The main bit was upgrading WP to 2.7.1. However I also added a few other features.

Various Musings (Twitter etc.)

OK, this is going to be a catch all for a few unrelated thoughts. First Twitter. I’ve been getting in to it. (Want to follow me? I’m ClarkGoble on Twitter) I’m still learning the etiquette. One thing I’ve noticed. If you DVR shows the chances you’ll read a spoiler are pretty high on Twitter. (I [...]

Which Aggregator?

I got an email last week asking what aggregator I use for reading blogs. (You probably noticed that with the new blog I don’t have a list of blogs on the sidebar – that’s why) I use NetNewsWire on the Mac and iPhone. It’s nice as it has a browser built in for quick views [...]

Working on Server

Just a note that I’ll be working on the server this weekend. So if you can’t get to the website that’s why. I’m changing hosts and am testing it with my libertypages account to start with.

We’re Back

OK, Christmas is over so regular posting will be resuming today. My number one topic focus this week will be Blake’s book which I wasn’t able to dedicate the time to that I wished the prior two months. So if you have his third volume I look forward to your comments.

Type of Blog

So I analyzed the blog with Typealyzer. I came out as INTP. The logical and analytic type. The graph was interesting too.
