On Second (And Third) Thought...
Further to the brief commentary on Kottke's new direction....
Look, I had the BEST life when I first moved to Houston for grad school.
I read exciting books about American political thought.
I hung out with stimulating friends and talked about everything from Ayn Rand to the religiosity of the Founding to backpacking.
I ran around cool dive bars and coffeeshops in Montrose.
It rocked.
If ya'll want to start a donation drive to let me quit my job and relive that lifestyle -- with the understanding that I'll post ALL ABOUT IT here -- I'm game.
Yeah, I didn't think so.
And honestly, I do NOT want to go back to those days, fun as they were.
But it was kind of cool thinking about it for a sec. :)

Hey... you just give the word, Kevster.
I'll start a campaign to make you the most funded, most prolific blogger in Texas!
Or we'll just gather some change and buy you a beer or three.

Why don't you want to go back to those days?

Re: Kottke
We have options. We could:
a) Spend the money on personal enrichment or
b) Donate money to the tsunami fund or
c) Donate to the some cancer institute or
d) Donate to the SPCA or an environmental cleanup fund or
e) Give the money to Mr. Kottke so that he can avoid working like the rest of us do and at the same time not sully himself with icky advertisements.
Somehow, (e) doesn't rate very high on this list...

TP: Fun as those days were, there were also the things that were less fun. You can never go back to JUST the fun stuff. Well, you can't go back period.... :)
Alex: Maybe Kottke should make himself a 501(c)3 charitable/education organization eligible for tax deductible donations. :)
