2007-11-06 23:41 Zwei Arten von Geschichtsschreibung
Ancient Greek historians approached their work with two very distinct motivations. Around 430 BC, Herodotus, the "father" of history, wrote in order to "honor the heroes" of the Trojan Wars. Thirty years later, Thucydides wrote the History of the Peloponnesian War. He did not write to honor heroes, but rather was interested in helping future generations learn from the past. He wrote history "not to win the applause of the moment, but as a possession for all time." Quelle: The 1920s Environmental …

2007-11-03 02:32 New Thing #222: There YOU are!
Oh my God. Oh my GOD. Seriously. This was so awesome and fun and cool and I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE OF ME DOING IT. Because it's against New York law to take pictures in Broadway Theatres*. Like the Helen Hayes Theatre. Where Xanadu is playing. Especially if you're sitting ON the stage, in Greek-area style seats, under 45 disco balls, within arm-patting distance of goddesses (literal and theatrical) Mary Testa and Jackie Hoffman. Tonight, Amanda and I went to see Xanadu and we totally sat ON the st …

2007-10-26 19:21 Facebook is not social media
I have recently been reading, slowly and with considerable effort, Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition. What I have read seems to suggest a surprising conclusion: Facebook.com, and many other comparable forms of what is commonly called "social media" or "social computing", is not fundamentally "social". I try to explain the line of this thought, with help from Arendt's book. A fundamental concept for her is vita activa, consisting of three fundamental human activities labor, work, and action. Th …

2007-10-20 18:01 Smoked Duck Breast and Pretty Blue Flute Fountains
Country Girl City Living has been teasing us with the scent of "the most delicious chicken paprikash known to man", which started me reminiscing about our stay in Budapest and my lovely "Blue Fountain Flutes". We were in Budapest just after the 'wall' came down. Actually we needed a visa to get in but, 4 days later, when we left it was no longer necessary. We did, however, have to buy currency (I think about 200 dollars worth) upon entering the country with no possibility of changing it back w …

Eating, well, really NOT eating, has been on my mind lately. Since a Trader Joe's opened up in our area, we, along with the other new food stlings lemmings in our area, streamed off the cliff to their only store in the First State. Along with the various coffee offerings we were intrigued with the Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds, Greek style yogourt and frozen vegetables and frozen berries. After the recent lead 'n' toy related news came out, we started reading our food purchases' packaging more …

2007-10-19 12:00 Greek Salad With Roasted Garlic-Tomato Dressing
If anyone's going to show you varying renditions of a Greek salad, it better be a Greek, um K I, like many of many probably got sick of the 90's food fad where everything seemed to have sun-dried tomatoes in them. I've only just started to get back into them. I liken the self-inflicted exile to tuning out to an overplayed song that's been overkilled...Stairway to Heaven anyone This dressing is a bright, vibrant one and I liked the complexity of the flavours and it's thick...sticks well to the sa …

2007-10-19 11:03 "The Lydian Hoard" revisited
I was very struck by the study of Christopher H. Roosevelt and Christina Luke which describes "The Destruction of an Archaeological Landscape in Western Turkey". Their starting point is the notorious "Lydian Hoard" returned from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to Turkey. They note that the "hoard" --- in fact a haul of material derived at least four separate grave mounds --- "made their way via Izmir and Switzerland to dealers in New York City". But Roosevelt and Luke rightly stress t …

2007-10-18 20:02 Never mind the treaty squabbles. Europe's real problem is Babel
By Timothy Garton Ash (THE GUARDIAN, 18/10/07): As the leaders of the European Union gather under the dome of the Atlantic Pavilion in Lisbon to thrash out the last details of that pesky treaty, the one thing you can be sure of is that the ordinary people of Europe will be beyond the security cordon, outside the dome. Should we not let the people speak The people of Europe, I mean, not just the people of Britain, Ireland or France. To adapt GK Chesterton's famous poem about "the secret people". …

2007-10-18 16:41 John Wesley on 2 Peter 1:3-11
I wanted to post John Wesley's notes on this passage as I'm studying it and presenting some devotional talks on it for the Running Toward the Goal podcast (first one here ). I was started down the path of studying this passage by Laura Curtis's post on Pursuing Holiness which is well worth reading. John Wesley's notes are interpolated in the KJV of the passage, to fit the language style. I took both the KJV text and Wesley's notes from e-Sword, a wonderful, completely free Bible software package …

2007-10-17 18:07 Wednesday Food Blogging: Wild Mushroom Lasagna with Tomato Confit
From the jaws of disaster, a victory is snatched. A funny thing happened on the way to a lasagna. I managed to bring back a couple of porcini mushrooms from Rome. September and October are porcini season, so the markets had crates of huge porcinis. A couple are all you need for a dish, but one didn't quite make the trip intact, and when faced with a saut pan, the other shrank into more normal mushroom size. Dried porcinis raced to the rescue, after a quick soak in hot water. Hurdle number one s …

Damn, what a cool car. Always love it when style and philosophy come together. The future's definitely bright if it'll make such kinds of designs common. The Aptera (Greek for wingless ) is an environmentally-friendly car that s as clean and green as it is fantastically futuristic. The three-wheeled hybrid, which offers an all-electric or plug-in hybrid option, isn t just a concept- you can reserve your own with just a $500 deposit. Seating 2.5 with plenty of room for luggage, the Aptera can g …

2007-10-17 13:10 Chicken Avgolemeno With Prunes
In the realm of Greek cooking, there's a renaissance in motion. The folks in Greece are traveling more than ever and expanding their palettes. Greeks of the diaspora have substituted/compensated traditional Greek ingredients with what's at hand and returning their focus to the classics, kicked up of course! I'll give the example of Italian-Americans using American ingredients to create new Italian-inspired dishes. The same experience has been underway with Greek cuisine. I've heard of Greek-Cana …

2007-10-17 11:07 Fassoulada (φασολάδα)
Every single Greek person that I know and every single household has this hearty (usually vegetarian) soup in their family's roster of dishes. Fassoulada is often served on Fridays when no meat is prepared, during Great Lent or on any other religious fasting day. I like abstaining from red meat on Fridays and this soup remarkably does fill you up. If you take a look at the photos, Fassoulada is accompanied by bread, olives and toursi (pickled veggies). Some Greek homes make this a spicy soup wit …

2007-10-16 02:05 Potatoes "au Gratin" With Onions
When I first got back from my vacation I was jet-lagged, very relaxed, my mind was still on a beach in Greece and mentally I was nowhere near thinking of how to satisfy my hunger and ultimately, share my food with you. Fast forward to a month from returning from Europe and I now have a backlog of food to present and I'm also indebted to some hosts who showed me an entertaining Sunday afternoon in Toronto. It may sound like an oxymoron but yes...some fun can be had in stodgy, Toronto the Good. A …

"My forecast is that around 2050, the state of Massachusetts will be the first jurisdiction to legalize marriages with robots," claimed artificial intelligence researcher David Levy at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands. Levy recently completed his Ph.D. work on the subject of human-robot relationships. He admits that sex with robots might be a little geeky, "but once you have a story like 'I had sex with a robot, and it was great!' appear someplace like Cosmo magazine, I'd expect m …

First, let's state the obvious...my "Legally Blonde" video has been viewed 9,417 times which fucking rocks. Okay...enough self-congratulation. I figured that since I devoted so much time to the taping, I might as well follow through now that it has aired. When it comes to the idea of theater marketing, perhaps the most adventurous/risky example in recent memory is this past weekend's MTV airing of "Legally Blonde." Never before has a Broadway show aired in its entirety during its first run a …

Yesterday, I volunteered to clean & organize our freezer as it's been getting difficult to find things...it was a mess. I literally took every thing out, cleaned the inside of the freezer and separated then organized each category of food. I found a good piece of stewing veal that was getting to the "6 months" stage and it was crying, "cook me, cook me"! I have a good backlog of "to try" recipes and this veal would be perfect for trying a Pastitsada. This is a slow-braised dish that originates f …
