My little boy goes back to day care the first week of August; my classes start the last week. This gives me three weeks of unscheduled time. Here is how I plan on using that time:

If you’ve been around me for the last few months, I’ve pressured you to pick up some Flotbots. A few months ago I started listening to their 2008 release, Fight with Tools, after encountering Handlebars through Pandora. They knew how to cast a mean flow and their songs were a mix of vision and resistance. In this post I give a few examples of why I consider their music so powerful. They won’t let us stop at despair. They implore us to move ourselves and our society forward. Retreat is not an option. Let’s build this into the way we see the world.

No longer are there utopias in a postmodern society – the best we can hope for are heterotopias. [1] If we really buy into the idea of Heterotopias, then that needs to be reflected in our rhetoric. No longer can we speak of the one true way of doing things. Instead, we need to start talking [...]

Working from home today. Fixed myself a nice 10:30 lunch/breakfast thing. Sliced fresh peppers, a orange, and some scrambled eggs to continue the day right.

Our lil man, Reed, grinning at our waiter at Rio Grande last night. The lil man was shy at first, or perhaps inquisitive, but he soon warmed up to him. You can see is four front teeth in the pic.
