The Napalm Death
Problem
3/23/11
You
folks
are
going
to start thinking that all I do is write philosophy
jokes.
Yes, but...

This is why you shouldn't be a
reductionist about deixis.
Story Problem
5/22/10
A
colleague
of
mine
asked
me
to write a mathematical "story problem" -
the sort we did back in middle/high school algebra classes. (Don't ask
why, long story.) Jocelyn suggested I post the
finished
product.
Upcoming Conferences
5/1/10
Not
too
many
changes
here
on
the
site,
aside from particular details for
particular classes. I might throw a couple of podcasts up here
for your listening entertainment next month. I also deleted the 'Blog'
link in the bar. Honestly, I do not have the blogging
instinct. If I show you something I write, I've been thinking
about it for years and you're seeing the 37th draft of it.
Plans are proceeding apace for two conferences at W&J in the
fall. The Mountain-Plains
Philosophy Conference will visit the Allegheny Plateau
October 15-16. There was extensive discussion last fall about
whether WashPA was either mountainous or plain enough. I assured
them that it's good and plain. The Pittsburgh Area Philosophy Colloquium
will also be here at W&J on Saturday, September 11th. (The link
there loops you back to one of my pages because it was just cheaper to
park the domain here.) Submit early and submit often.
Still no good pictures for the top banner. Accepting submissions from
those less aesthetically challenged than I. Oddly enough, I did find
something that would add unicorns and rainbows to any website - Cornify. They have not integrated
kitten technology into their platform yet.

Hey, all. Welcome to the new site. Obviously, things are
just getting set up here. The links to the left are live,
though. The design is still... developing. As my friend
Jeremy used to say, I'm aesthetically challenged, not to mention the
fact that my html skills stopped progressing in about 1999. (It
only took two hours of backhacking page sources to figure out how to
make that nav bar on the left. But at least there's no adspace to
code.)
More exciting things are coming here. Soon there'll be sidebars
and rollovers and javascript animation and rainbows and unicorns and
kittens that shoot unicorns made of rainbows out their noses when they
sneeze. The links over on the left are live. Come back soon.
