Samantha — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 19:06:51 +0000

Photo courtesy of Boston College If there’s anything we love more than a delightful glass of homemade goodness, it’s music! So when compiling a list of the sweetest things to do this 4th of July, we knew concerts needed a section all their own. If you’re from a small, Texas town like myself, then yo …

Eugene Summer Fun

PDXrover — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 15:04:43 +0000

Almost despite itself, by degrees Eugene is warming to summer. The rain fades — or at least skips a day. We must look ahead, though. We must get out the summer clothes, tuck away the bulky winter wear — leaving an obligatory fleece nearby, of course. And we must allow ourselves to surrender to the b …

Back.

Jeremy — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:00:32 +0000

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written a blog. A lot has happened since November when I posted my last little post with that high quality video of Dane Ueland and I singing about his friends ball sack. Some of the stuff has been pretty heavy and not really the kind of stuff you write about in a b …

Beer on trial: You be the jury

Samantha — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 23:45:07 +0000

Just last year in Great Britain, Procter & Gamble argued in court that Pringles are not potato chips (and hence not subject to tax rules) because they do not contain enough potato to have the “essence of potato.” The court rejected the argument. In his new book “How Pleasure Works” author Paul Bloom …

Live from locohama, S2/E21: Bye-bye Betty

Jeremy — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:28:14 +0000

While I was preparing for the the Japan blog Matsuri I hosted this month, I was so focused on it that I neglected to post about something rather significant: Mrs. Betty has bid us farewell. Actually, having been at school B for the past week and a half, I had totally forgotten about her leaving. I w …

New Approaches

PDXrover — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 05:44:32 +0000

I’ve said I was finished so many times in the six years I’ve been writing this novel. The last ‘finish’ stuck for eight months; everything that was there belonged. But now I have also realized that I had oversimplified the novel– that is, I had narrowed what was there to the children and my narrato …

Jeremy — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 03:22:28 +0000

The Lady on the Bus Recently I had the privilege of riding the Greyhound Bus for the first time. I love to travel and have spent a lot of time on the road, traveling around this country and occasionally taken a trip to a foreign location. I’ve never ridden the bus. Frankly, it just never really cros …

Glenn Garvin on the Cult of NPR

Jeremy — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 20:36:55 +0000

From the Chicago Reader: Every few years I make an anthropological visit to my sister’s home out west. My sister–her name is withheld to protect the guilty–is a lifelong bureaucrat who’s never worked for anyone who had to show a profit, and she is deeply suspicious of the whole concept. She’ll dri …
