How to...

I was recently thinking about writing a series of how-to segments...

How to start a blog and then stop making entries should be pretty fun, but many people might take it too personally.

How to ?

Airport Ratings

Watching yahoo revealed a list of 5 great airports. Listed were MSP, SFO, CLT, DFW, and DIA. Having been to all of them, though Charlotte was years ago (and the first place I ever saw a moving sidewalk, age 18).

I am a fan of SFO, due to plenty of recent experience. If it was only not on 101, it would be perfect. Easy to reach, attractive, good food, great bookstore. I'm sure I say enough nice things to keep anyone disinterested. Downsides to SFO: a ghosttown in terminal 2, and $28/day parking.

MSP I have taken for granted living in Minneapolis and in Saint Paul, and all the on time reviews should have been offset by the price of boarding a flight on NWA, and the insult of paying for peanuts... can they just get bought? The sooner northwest folds the happier we can all be. And maybe southwest can start flying to MN after the demise of this ugly airline.

Quine

For my part I do, qua lay physicist, believe in physical objects and not in Homer's gods; and I consider it a scientific error to believe otherwise. But in point of epistemological footing, the physical objects and the gods differ only in degree and not in kind. Both sorts of entities enter our conceptions only as cultural posits".

Shameful Disinterest

Hmm,
behind on work, behind on laundry, behind on all sorts of education, behind the curve... and now, behind on blog entries! Shameful. I need a little boost of productivity!

Any concrete ideas would be greatly appreciated.
