Anybody up for Recursive Existentialism?

Read the paper at this link: Self-Reference in ``Self-Reference in `Self-Reference in . . .' '' I've had this on hand for a while, shared it with friends, slept and worked, and went about living my life. Just came across it again and decided I had to share it here.

If you are into the paradoxes of existentialist thinking, you'll enjoy reading this through to the end. It'll do a wonderful job of twisting your brain!

Stephen Colbert's White House correspondents Dinner on Google Current

I wasn't a huge fan of Stephen Colbert, not that I disliked him. He just never really hit high on my list of things to follow. But each time I see one of his faux essays or see him talk, I find I love his subtle digs and humor more and more.

Current TV is another thing I have been following more and more since I learned of Al Gore's purchase of it. It's an experiment in media that is worth following. I'm not a huge fan of it yet. I usually shy away from first drafts, and the idea of creating an Internet/TV hybrid seems very experimental, especially with the user-driven aspects of it. But I think I will be following the GoogleCurrent thing a bit.

I hope Current comes on a cable provider in my area soon.
