Man or Austroman?
For the past couple of months Ive 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):

Frustratingly, theyve scheduled our session opposite a session that includes both a paper on C. L. R. James (one of Matthews 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, its because my home internet connection is on the fritz. Thatll 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 Adamas first day of combat was the last day of the Cylon war, its hard to see how theres any chronological space for Blood and Chrome even to exist. Oh well.
Molinari Beach Safari
Ive 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:
More pics from the conference and trip will be posted in due course.
