Books, Carnivals, Oh my!
RnR Announcements
***Books
We've just posted a Books section here on the RnR website:
http://reason-and-rhyme.blogspot.com/2006/10/books.html
"Natan" by Albert Frank and Muriel Hustin, "Losing Faith in Faith" by Dan
Barker, and, hot off the presses, "The Magic of Ed Rehmus" by Ed Rehmus
(edited by Fred Vaughan) are all available. Note that Ed's book is
available at a discount if you email me at Membe...@ReasonAndRhyme.com
for the special access.
If you have books, or photo galleries, or other works you would like to
have showcased in our Books section, please let me know! Even better,
send in an excerpt from the work or an article about the work and we'll
post the article and we'll put the work in the Books section.
***Carnivals
I submitted Martin Hunt's article, Rationality and Intelligence, to The
Philosopher's Carnival and it was accepted. (To learn what a blog
carnival is, check out:
http://weblogs.about.com/od/blogcarnivalsindex/f/blogcarnivals.htm ).
You can see their 37th carnival issue with Martin's article (second from
the end) at: http://www.hells-handmaiden.com/?p=1289
As part of our goal to get exposure for your articles (and the RnR site in
general) I will submit articles to appropriate blog carnivals where I can.
If you know of other carnivals that would be pertinent to the content on
RnR, please let me know.
***Oh my!
I've been re-reading Philip K. Dick's, "The Three Stigmata of Palmer
Eldritch," and really really enjoying it. It's evidently the first
"virtual reality" related book and it's a good one. Basically an alien
drug gives you time-travel, soul-swapping, and related abilities
potentially displacing a terran drug that allows you to animate a barbie
or ken doll and related environment with others. Of course there are some
nasty side-effects with the new drug and its pusher leading to action and
adventure!
Carrick is finishing up the soccer season. He's been having fun.
Yesterday he was kept a bit after school because he was horse-play
wrestling with a friend over a piece of candy. His mom and I are just
happy he's asserting himself :).
Work flies power the gears of progress. We're developing software to
manage the UW's Internet infrastructure. Still.
Until next time, best regards,
