Notes from an Infinite Summer 2009

The view from the top of page 33:

Once, as an undoubtedly irritatingly intellectual teen, I read James Tiptree Jr.'s Up The Walls Of The World while suffering from a fever.

The effects are by no means dissimilar.



1. Infinite Summer: a group read of David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest.
2. 33: Jesus' age at crucifixion, RPM records, my age at divorce, blah blah blah.

"I have often had the impression that, to penguins, man is just another penguin - different, less predictable, occasionally violent, but tolerable company when he sits still and minds his own business."

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
