The Bard
Oxfordian Theory (Wiki); Last Will & Testament (IMDB); Last Will & Testament. Recently PBS has been showing an edited version of the documentary Last Will & Testament. I had previously heard of the debate as to who William Shakespeare really was, but this program really clarifies it. There is little doubt that the person generally…

The (Current) Comcast Problem
First, let me say that I don’t think Comcast is a terrible company with intractable customer service. Their Customer Guarantee is progressive. My view is they are big and they do things on massive scales that sometimes create customer problems. My experience is they have differing (i.e., bad at times) customer service representative capabilities. Good…

Pride, Prejudice, and Christine
Christine is a woman I met on OKCupid. It was fun communicating with someone from Newcastle upon Tyne in northern England. She and I had psychology, anthropology, and social sciences in common. She went to great schools–Manchester and Harvard. Her writing was smart and fun. She also was part, or half of a gross marriage. …

On Christine
I feel I have made some progress on this gender role thing. Throughout I have openly stated that I would like to find a woman who will create a life with me. This is way more dubious than I thought. (“Dubious isn’t the right word, nor is “controversial.”) I have always thought that women and…

This is it, an attack against dissidents, dissidents who want safety, crime-free neighborhoods, and an end to local government waste (and corruption). Syrian (alleged) chemical weapons attacks… THE POST and THE TIMES. The Syrian president simply cannot deal with opposition. It is the reaction that gets you in trouble.
