things to read
At the moment, I'm up to my elbows in potential textbooks for the fall semester. But, speaking of The Visionary State, Erik Davis has recently put up the essay he wrote for us in AfterBurn up on his newly revamped websiteAlso, I thought of mentioning this some months back, but presumed that most of the potentially interested regulars here would ( Read more... ) -
a bit more buzz re: AfterBurn
V. Vale of RE/Search publications reviews AfterBurn. Vaguely depressing that the first item of note is the difficulty in finding said text. But if anyone reading this in the SF bay area wants a copy, I still have a big box of 'em sitting under the dining room table. Heck, for those of you outside the bay area, I could probably ship one to you. ( Read more... ) -
book-a-lujah!
Laughing Squid blogs AfterBurn. Thank you Scott! -
update: me
I survived the KQED show yesterday--after the first 15 minutes or so it was even fun, as I found my paces.

You need a subscription, alas, to view most articles online. And the relevant paper issue wasn't on the shelf when I checked at the library last week. But you can see a teaser ( Read more... ) -
a few memories
Arriving in camp just in time for Juke's barbecued pork. Heaven!
Rev Billy's memorial & "come-to-jesus" for New Orleans at the Temple late Sunday afternoon. While waiting and wandering there for a time with SP, we talked briefly with a man--who truth be told came across as an old hippy-sort whose brains cells had seen better days--who said that ( Read more... ) -
BSP--MVP
Late announcement, Mark will be doing a radio show this morning to discuss AfterBurn. (I’m still too overwhelmed with the detritus of moving to have been up for this one myself--rotten timing.) "Talk of the Bay" at 10:30 on KUSP. For those of you not in the Santa Cruz area, I believe you can catch it streaming:It's Out!
Or, at least I have a copy of it sitting on my desk right now. I expect it'll be in stores by Monday or Tuesday.
