Check out my new side project: Seven Ten Twelve. It is my new “vinyl singles” blog that will allow me to unleash all of the useless info on vinyl records that I spend all day reading about. I am also hoping to get the word out to indie labels (etc.) that I will review their [...]

Live Blogging: Stories, Texts and Technoscience (1)
Posted in Academic, tagged Art Frank, Latour, Sociology, theory on October 29, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Social constructionist stuff (interpersonal, relational, ethical), but hive off the “medical” stuff (natural, factual, the scientific)
The difference is that the uncertainties are all waiting for further research to get “the answer” – yet (the key word). The social/bioethical/organizational remains open to change. Rock solid knowledge vs. shifting sands, and the world is divided between them.
It [...]

With November right around the corner, it is time to pull out those jazz records again!*
Remember, just as how there are only 25 days in which you are allowed to listen to Christmas music (Dec 1-25), there are only 30 days in which you are allowed to pull out your jazz records (Nov 1-30)**.

Virgin Music Festival v. Sled Island
Posted in Calgary, Music on October 17, 2007 | 8 Comments »
I just saw this note from Sled Island organizer Zak Pashak on Facebook:
Yes, Virgin Fest falls during the last two days of Sled Island. If the goal of starting a festival in Calgary was to bring great bands and musical interest here- then it looks like things are moving that way pretty quickly and we [...]

I’m sitting here, trying to write the best paper that has ever been written on the subject of interviewing people online, and some a-hole has been running this noisy/shitty generator right outside my window for what seems like forever, but has possibly only been like an hour or so. It is driving me insane. It [...]

My roommate is such a dick! (portions probably nsfw)
This website intrigues me enough to subscribe to the RSS, but it also gives me an unclean, shitty feeling inside.
Also: trash Jenga!
A list 7 guilty pleasures
Posted in Naveling, tagged , guilty, pleasures on October 11, 2007 | 6 Comments »
You know how sometimes I argue that I don’t believe in guilty pleasures?
Ha, I’m so full of shit. I have tonnes of ‘em!
I feel guilty for partaking of them (for various reasons), but, as per my discussion with Michel Foucault tonight (*waves), I am going to confess to a couple right now. I am also [...]

I lifted the veil to see nature’s trickery revealed as pure shit

October brings with it the general malaise that I know we are all feeling today. Everything is curling up. Everyone is winding down, preparing for Winter. Again? Gahhh. No thanks.
Beautiful colours! Crisp air! It’s “just right” outside. Often, when it comes up in polite conversation, I can be found saying that “I love fall” (but [...]
