Status update

1) David Schraub (whom I mentioned in my previous post about Lebanon) left some thoughtful comments. I've partially written my response, but it's not quite ready.

2) I made a fairly large error in my post on Catholic Legal Theory; I attributed a couple of quotes to the wrong person. I saw Kobayishi Issa's name at the bottom of this post and assumed he had written it even though he had been dead for almost 170 years. The actual author is David Giacalone. Issa wrote the Haiku at the bottom of the post, but not the post itself.

3) I have a couple of half-written posts that I think will turn out quite well, but the next week or three will be very hectic. I just got home from my summer position and I move to a new apartment in about a week. I start school in less than three weeks (!), so blogging may be light.

4) My offer for guest posters is still open. Contact me if you're interested.

5) OneGoodMove had a clip from a show called 30 Days. The clip was okay, but I decided to take a chance and spend two bucks to buy the whole episode on iTunes. An atheist moved in with a hardcore Christian family for a month and we got to see some of their interactions and perspectives on it. It which was fascinating, and the clip there isn't really representative of the episode as a whole. I highly recommend it, if you have time, can spare the two bucks, and don't have any objections to Apple's digital rights management restrictions. If you don't want to spend two bucks, you can download another episode for free and learn about people's reaction to immigrants. I haven't seen it yet, but I expect it to be quite good.
