I needed to learn a bit more about Meister Eckhart, so I Googled him last night. That led me to Eckhart Tolle, and to Paul Tillich, and then finally to Karl Barth this morning. I guess you could call it a theologian binge. In my readings, I happened upon this interesting quotation by Barth: It [...]

They say that seeing a show at Red Rocks is something that one must do if one lives in Colorado. I live in Colorado, so I did this. Sigur Ros (currently my favorite band, recently nudging Beirut out of that position) played there last night, and it was outstanding. A friend and I took 93 [...]

In case it hasn’t been gazed upon: http://www.breakaleg.tv/video/2007/7/25/the-pilot-part-1.html – Yes, it’s that good, and it just gets better. It occurred to me that I should really be listening to more rap. This is, of course, difficult given the recent loss of the ENTIRE COLLECTION of my music. I just happened to hear a few tracks [...]
