In brief:

• 11:44 Military anthro is unethical: www.nytimes.com/2009/12/04/arts/04anthro.html -what about linguistics? time for LSA,ACL soul-searching? #
• 13:00 My wife just made galette mexicaine, or maybe a quesadilla bretagnaise. #
• 13:16 "College: the art of taking on something you like in order to end up completely disgusted by it." -- D, deep in the midst of grad school. #
• 14:58 RT @expectfailure: a really cool low-down/cheat-sheet about napping: bit.ly/18u3Hp #
• 19:10 old-school hiphop will be to my kids' generation what the Beatles are to mine: "how were my parents cool enough to listen to this?" #

I often use twitter to mention what's happening or linkdump. I LT here for posterity.

Oh, but your parents are COOL!!! That's why! Or maybe it's -- how did our kids get so cool as to like OUR music?

Hip hop, now. that's another story.

thanks mom, for proving just what I meant. I bet your mom had the same reaction to Sergeant Pepper that you have to Jay-Z.

Also, really, there's some great hiphop out there. Someday maybe I'll get you to listen to Blackalicious or Talib Kweli or Spearhead.
