U down Wit' OPC?

Although I don't feel guilt, I do feel the need to be tactful. So I must apologize for being sporadic with updates these last few days. I know some of you were waiting for pics of Percy, and others wanting me to post on "Over the Rhine as Pretentious Drivel" and "Why Women Should be in the Deaconate," respectively.

The best you're gonna get is these two pics of Percy from this past Sunday, taken up at Nick-A-Jack cave at the Maple View something or other. It closed to the public the 15th, but they didn't post this anywhere, so April and I just cruised in anyways. It was beautiful. This pic is my personal favorite.

I also wanna announce that SanDiegoBlogs.com is now live. So If you've got folks in San Diego who might want blogs, well, tell them about it. John did the design, so props to him.

I've been ridiculously busy these last couple days working on a project for work, tryin g to finish up a couple side projects. Hopefully 2nite I'll finish up with Ben the AP Newswire & Weather feeds for the Bagpipe Online, and hopefully be able to pull of finishing Bostonblogs/Beantownblogs.

Finally, I was doing some reading on Gaddamer, and came to the conclusion that it's a bit, well, arrogant to say that the epistemological problem started with Descartes and that epistemology "died" with Kant, if only because that makes the impressive, significant, and in some sense very helpful work done in "epistemology" in the last 200 years, well, not so impressive and/or significant. Some think the quagmire of epistemology since descartes --> Kant --> Gettier might be avoided altogether by going back to Medieval philosophy. I think that move in the strong sense is unhelpful in that the move itself is only made possible my certain epistemological "gains" in the last 200 years (think Heidegger), and is short-sited in that it fails to see the "problem" of epistemology goes back at least as far as the Greeks, and may be (as would by my contention) is something inherent to creation.

So, just my 30 second take on it. Chris can now beat me about the head and neck like a red-headed stepchild.
