Inspired by reader PrajK’s suggestion, I’m going to use my old del.icio.us feed to link to my articles and blog posts while this blog is dormant. Those with RSS readers who wish to keep track of what I’m up to can go ahead and subscribe.

2) In the process of moving myself and my possessions several blocks, I left my (now-recovered) laptop cord behind so I have read nothing about [...]
Starting this afternoon I’ll be teaching a six-week course on modern philosophy here at Berkeley, so blogging may be a bit lighter than usual (if indeed there is any such thing). Those of you who are so inclined are, however, welcome to follow along with the syllabus.
