Choice and responsibility

25Apr07

Today I found my friend Emilie’s amazing blog, The Conscious Kitchen. Seriously, amazing. Everything looks delicious, and lots of fun stories about food experiences.

One of Emilie’s creations. Is this even legal in the state of Massachussettes?

Her post from Monday, Simple Pleasures and Guilt, really resonated with my recent food experiences. She [...]

Cooking

25Apr07

As mentioned, I uploaded a bunch of photos of the vegan concoctions we’ve been cooking up at dinner coop and elsewhere. A bunch of these have recipes that are now in the coop wiki, and I want to share those with all of you, but…
If I link to the wiki, it’s going to be [...]

This is version 0.2 of ForkCode, the web-based IDE that I’m working on. IDE is an acronym that means “software for making software”.

Preciousness

23Apr07

I really wanted to post some pictures today of all the delicious vegan things we’ve been cooking lately (mushroom-seitan tacos! sun-dried tomato roasted red pepper artichoke heart dip!) but I think I left my camera at Kensy’s.  Alas.
Instead, I couldn’t resist posting a link to this letter Naomi Wolf wrote to her daughter.  It’s probably [...]

I’m a loser, baby

21Apr07

Pro-war folks often say that pulling out of Iraq would be defeat. That the terrorists would win and we can’t let them win. My response was always of the form “no way… we’ll still win because of X,” where X was more international support, the strength of the Iraqi police force, the removal [...]

The patriarchy and Economic Slavery

21Apr07

There is a great post over on Women’s Space/The Margins (which is fast becoming one of my favorite blogs about women’s issues) about Seung-hui Cho’s family. I just posted a somewhat tangential comment over there about US global construction/reconstruction efforts and the patriarchy* and I wanted to repost here:
Thank you for doing this journalism… [...]

17Apr07

Here’s an awesome person: Kathleen Hughes hangs her laundry instead of using the dryer. Saves money and energy, gets you out of the house, reminds you that you’re alive, goddamnit.

A gender thang?

16Apr07

My response to Wendy’s comment today got me fired up about men’s advocacy, so I wrote out off the top of my head the top men’s issues I think aren’t being adequately addressed.  I starred the issues that are also women’s issues.
Father’s Rights ** - advocacy for men in custody disputes, equal custody rights.  Advocacy [...]
