Recent Stuff

Things keeping me busy, interested, and entertained these past few weeks and months.

• Tiki Bar TV. It's sad how much I'm enjoying this little podcast, but it just keeps getting better. This is exactly the sort of thing that I'd be doing if I had free time, talented friends and any creative spark at all. Sadly, I don't. Thankfully, some folks do.
  
  


• Philosophy. For awhile now I've had a goal to sit down and try and articulate my own philosophy of life. To that end I've been doing a little reading about philosophy and listening to Todd Mohr's excellent Philosophy podcast. I was lucky enough to find the podcast on iTunes just shortly after he started doing it, and I've been following along with each new episode (weekly). I haven't made much progress on my own philosophical theories, but I do enjoy soaking up the history and some of the context of the subject matter by listening to Todd. He recently expanded the podcast to include a blog and, just today, a group chat via iChat. That's probably another reason I like Todd: he's got a dot Mac email account. :-)
  
  


• The Bible. No, not actually reading it. Bob Price is a biblical scholar who examines the history of the bible (and other religious texts), and he has the most perplexingly interesting radio show/podcast where he answers people's questions about the history and context of the bible. Although I'm not religious and certainly not a Christian, I do find myself eagerly anticipating each new episode of this show.
