I just got back from the Central APA in New Orleans. Pics here. (Pics from my La Jolla Liberty Fund coming soon.)

Man or Austroman?
For the past couple of months I’ve been without a working internet connection at home, a deprivation which has been like pouring a bottle of molasses into the gears of my life.
It ultimately took getting both a new computer (well, a new CPU; same old monitor) and a new modem, but now I am finally back in touch with the arakhnia. Now I need to get just a teeny bit caught up ….
P.S. – Happy Abolish-the-Presidency Day!
Soufflés on Ice
Doctor Who is back (in the annual Christmas special), and that means Lindalee is back too.
First, a Christmas gift to Lindalee from her fans:
Next, a Christmas gift for her fans from Lindalee (oh yeah, and there are MAJOR SPOILERS for the Christmas special, of course):

Updated info (including location) for the Molinari Society panel tomorrow:
Eastern APA, Marriott Marquis, Atlanta, Friday, 28 December:
Molinari Society, 2:00-5:00 p.m. [GIV-3, room L406 (lobby level, past the fitness center; see map]:
“Explorations in Philosophical Anarchy”presenters:
Matthew Quest (Independent Scholar), “Between Insurrection and Popular Self-Management: Emma Goldman and the Self-Governing Will”
Roderick T. Long (Auburn University), “Transformation or Abolition: Marriage and the Family in the Individualist Anarchist Tradition”commentators:
Nina Brewer-Davis (Auburn University)
Charles Johnson (Molinari Institute)
Frustratingly, they’ve scheduled our session opposite a session that includes both a paper on C. L. R. James (one of Matthew’s main research interests) and a paper on the abolition of marriage. Les choses sont contre nous.
P.S. – If my online presence has been scant lately, it’s because my home internet connection is on the fritz. That’ll be corrected next year (i.e., next week).
There Will Be Chrome, Part 8
Behold, the final installments of Blood and Chrome:
Incidentally, given that the full flashback sequence in the extended version of Razor pretty strongly implied that young Adama’s first day of combat was the last day of the Cylon war, it’s hard to see how there’s any chronological space for Blood and Chrome even to exist. Oh well.
Molinari Beach Safari
I’ve been back for nearly a week from the Liberty Fund I organised (my first time as director!) in La Jolla on Gustave de Molinari, but have been too busy with final exams and other end-of-term stuff to mention it here. Anyway, it was terrific: interesting readings, beautiful location, and some of my favourite people.
Five members of the Molinari Institute and/or Center for a Stateless Society were present. Here they are:
Sheldon Richman, Gary Chartier, Charles Johnson, Roderick Long, Jennifer McKitrick
The same people as before, silly
More pics from the conference and trip will be posted in due course.
