Thinking Chaos, Thinking Fences


All speech, written or spoken, is a dead language, until it finds a willing and prepared hearer. -- Robert Louis Stevenson

Well, I'm off to Melbourne

Being a devoted Buffy fan, I was right chuffed to hear that Melbourne University is holding a symposium on all things Buffness. It's truly a pop culture touchstone, and will be remembered, I think, in the same breath as Happy Days and MASH. I eagerly await the seventh season (it starts in January here)--nobody send me plot spoilers, though. On a related note, check out the scholarly Buffy musings at the Online International Journal of Buffy Studies.

American education system throws up hands in disgust and skulks home

A recent National Geographic society survey found that only about one in seven--13%--of Americans between the age of 18 and 24 could find Iraq. That's not so bad, considering only 30% could find New Jersey.
