FWA -- who will be there?
I'm planning on flying down for FWA this year. Who all will I run into when I get there?
If anyone who'll be attending wants updated contact info so you can be in touch during the con, let me know! -
[Politics] The Problematic Corporation
I have some thoughts on politics/socioeconomics that I want to talk about. Because I'm doing this to develop my thoughts and positions as much as to get any kind of message out or to spark discussions, I'm going to put the body of these posts behind a cut and tag them. I invite anyone who's curious to take a look and comment with their thoughts ( Read more... ) -
Self-hacking 101: Systems Theory
This is the first in what may or may not become a series of posts on topics related to what I will call "self-hacking." You can call it "self-help," but I think that's a more limiting paradigm. The techniques that work for self-help (i.e. fixing perceived problems in oneself) also work for almost any kind of directed self-change.Today, I'm going ( Read more... ) -
Returning to LJ
Well, I'm now getting pretty settled here, and I really like the way things have been going ( Read more... ) -
RIP, Furp
I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but I had to say something.
Furp, aka evil_dwagon, died recently, and I just heard. He was someone I'd only met in person a couple of times, but I enjoyed chatting online with him on many occasions and was hoping to visit him sometime and get to know him better. I didn't even realize until I saw the outpouring here ( Read more... ) -
What do exercise and open relationships have in common?
A little while ago, a friend of mine lent me a book I've been meaning to read for quite a while. It's entitled The Ethical Slut; the overarching topic is about how to conduct sexual and romantic relationships that aren't monogamous in a positive and practical way. It's a really good book, and one I recommend to anyone and everyone, because most ( Read more... ) -
Go read bradhicks!
cargoweasel did this and there were some comments on the post he linked saying people read it due to his recommendation, so I'm going to follow suit.
bradhicks is awesome, and I think everyone ought to read his journal. Come on -- Atlas Shrugged 2: Shrug Harder? For a slightly more serious take, try " Christians in the Hand of an Angry God" (links to last part, ( Read more... ) -
Going to AnthroCon
Well, I've managed to find room space at AC, which means I will be there, barring something happening to prevent me between now and then. I'm excited; this will be my first time to the convention, and the largest convention I've yet attended by far ( Read more... ) -
Anthrocon?
I'm considering trying to make AC. I couldn't have decided this at the time when rooms were still available because I was moving at the time. But now I think my finances can handle the trip if I play my cards right ( Read more... ) -
And a new chapter begins...
Well, I'm in New York City now. Living in Brooklyn and working for okcupid in Manhattan. The move went well, and I've started talking to some people up here online. I am hoping to be able to meet some of them in person sometime in the near future. Overall, life goes well ( Read more... )
