La Marseillaise
Since I recommended reading the Declaration of Independance on July 4, I decided to recommend reading (or, better, singing) La Marseillaise on July 14, Bastille Day. It isn't as strong of a recommendation; the writing really isn't as good, nor are the sentiments as elevating. But you really have to understand 19th century European nationalism [...]
The Amazing Mrs. Palin
I didn't think until this morning to connect Sarah Palin to the tv show The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard, which describes a supermarket manager who becomes Prime Minister of Great Britain. The New York Times has an article this morning about the ways the Republican establishment attempted to advise her on how to become one of [...]
Last Chance Harvey
This movie was a disappointment. Obviously anyone who's a huge fan of either Dustin Hoffman or Emma Thompson is going to want to watch it. I won't say we're wrong to want that, but really, there are better ways to spend an evening. It's slow-moving and in spite of a lot of really good acting, [...]
Wendy and Lucy
This was the most upsetting movie I've seen in a while. I remember hearing a story on the radio about the R rating it got seeming inappropriately "adult". The story's point of view was that if kids can handle sex and violence, they should be able to handle a story about a car breaking down. [...]
Little Dorrit
I watched the last episode of the television adaptation on Sunday, and finished rereading the book yesterday. It's a good adaptation, and the plot of the book is convoluted enough that seeing the adaptation helps in reading the book, even if you're used to the the convoluted plots of nineteenth century novels and soap operas. [...]
The Handmaid's Tale
The book by Margaret Attwood is one of my favorites. In fact, it's the first Margaret Attwood I read -- the New York Times ran a review by Mary McCarthy which as I remember it was a bit snarky, but it convinced me I'd be interested in the book, so I went to Harvard Square [...]
Primary Care Providers and the death of Bonnie Rogers
This is part of my series of posts about the death of my friend Bonnie Rogers. As I reported in the post Timeline of Bonnie’s death, she was having unusual problems with lack of energy for a couple of months, and serious problems breathing for a couple of weeks before she managed to call her [...]
MBT Shoes
I bought these shoes a couple of weeks ago, and thought I'd tell you about them. The hype for MBT shoes is pretty aggressive, but at least some of it is true. I haven't lost thirty pounds in two weeks, or gotten to really like standing in one place for hours at a time, but [...]
On Not Programming
I didn't realize until after I posted yesterday that it was Ada Lovelace Day, for appreciating the contributions of women programmers. So this morning I started thinking about what I should have posted. My first idea was that there's a program I've been planning to write for some time, so maybe the right thing was [...]
