Yeah, Scotland!

I am pleased to announce that the Edinburgh Epistemology Graduate Conference will take place in Edinburgh, Scotland from March 18-19, 2011. "The submission deadline for the conference is 10 January 2011. Although conference attendance is free, you must register for the conference if you plan on attending."
They welcome any papers that relate to any area of epistemology.
This conference is supported by grants from the Scots Philosophical Club and the Aristotelian Society.
I doubt famous Scot, Shirley Manson, will be in attendance, however, it is agreeable to know that she does love nerds.

Movie Poster of the Day

This is the first of what may be a constant flow of cool movie posters. Maybe, semi-constant.

Logos

According to a page on the PBS website, "The Greek word logos (traditionally meaning word, thought, principle, or speech) has been used among both philosophers and theologians. In most of its usages, logos is marked by two main distinctions - the first dealing with human reason (the rationality in the human mind which seeks to attain universal understanding and harmony), the second with universal intelligence (the universal ruling force governing and revealing through the cosmos to humankind, i.e., the Divine.)"
In keeping with this line of thought, I would like to express my thought that the original Dallas Mavericks logo is more interesting than the current Dallas Mavericks logo.

This 1969 film, which has never been released on vhs or dvd, will be on Turner Classic Movies on December 23 at 8:00 AM.

This Ice Cream is Great Too!

This is the Best Ice Cream Ever!

I Like Chocolate

This interesting movie will be on Turner Classic Movies early morning on Saturday, November 27 at 3:45 AM Central Time.

Another Look at Human Target

Having now seen every first season episode of Human Target, the FOX network series starring Mark Valley and Chi McBride, I can declare that I enjoy this show tremendously. It got better after the first few episodes. It started slowly, but gained a lot of momentum soon after. The comic timing of Chi McBride is fantastic. As well, Jackie Earle Haley (The Bad News Bears-1976, Little Children-2006) as Guerrero is great. Some nice guest appearances by folks such as Grace Park, Lennie James, and Lee Majors have added quite a bit also. Season 2 starts on November 17 on a FOX station near you.

Gulab Jamun

If you have not done so, I encourage you to try gulab jamun, a tasty dessert found at Indian restaurants. They are small balls of dough that taste like donut holes. They are commonly served in a sugary syrup. Try them. Your mouth will thank you.

Carnival Magic!

The brilliant film, Carnival Magic, was on Turner Classic Movies last Friday night/Saturday morning! I do not recall any other time in Earth's history that this film has been shown on television. It has never been released on dvd or vhs. I first saw it at the greatness of the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas. Carnival Magic was directed by Al Adamson and was made in 1982. See it if you can!

Mmmmm Yummy 2

Monica Raymund from Lie to Me is also very yummy, however, I, as yet, have not had the chance to have any of her fun things in my mouth.

Mmmmm Yummy!

I discovered these delicious almonds at Conference Day at the place at which I work. Not this very can, but in a home to themselves, inside small bags. I recommend them to anyone who enjoys putting fun things in their mouth.

Happy Mexican Flag Day!!

Everybody, enjoy the holiday!

Human Target

I watched the first two episodes of the new FOX show, Human Target last night. It's pretty good, but I was hoping it would be better. It is nice to see Chi McBride (Boston Public, Pushing Daisies) again. The star of the show, Mark Valley, is good, but I wish his comic timing was better--like Nathan Fillion's.

Herzog

The Apple Tablet

I am very much looking forward to what the new Apple Tablet has in store for us. I am looking forward to hearing what the superskinny Apple guys tell us about this new device.

Epistemology Conference!!

The 1st Annual Northwestern/Notre Dame Epistemology Conference will take place Friday, April 16 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois! The keynote speech is entitled, "The Myth of Epistemic Agency." I always knew that agency did not exist.

Fascinating Flags

Here are two interesting flags. The red one with the legs is the Isle of Man national flag. The other one that has the word "Guam" on it is the flag of Guam.

Cool Movie Poster

Here is a poster for the great 1974 science fiction movie, Phase IV. Click on it and it gets bigger!

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra

I am sure some readers are wondering, "What does tonight mean?" Tonight is defined as follows: "on this present night or the night following this present day." I hope this clears up any confusion the title of this blog may have created. I have included an image of a sandwich for your reference.
