Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Great weekend!

    In spite of the freezing temperatures Saturday, I was up and moving by 5 am, and was in my studio working by 7am. Friends of mine in Havana, FL have a house in the country with a great barn in the backyard, and are allowing me to use it as my working studio. I spent…

  • Has anyone heard of this guy?

    About four years ago I found a book in my local comic shop. It was nothing I had ever heard of. A sharp little black and white published by NBM called Boneyard by Richard Moore. The cover is what grabbed me. On the cover was a picture of a man being backed against the wall…

  • What would he do?

    After 7 years, my friend Chris Klotschkow moved away. He got an incredible offer to move to Raleigh, North Carolina, and I wish him well.

  • For those of us who need it…

    Many’s the time in the past year that I could have used something like this…but ironically, that at a time when my life is, for the most part, under-control and peaceful, I find something like this in my email- definitely worth a laugh…I know plenty of people both in my family and not who rely…

  • Mmmm, Mmmm, Goooood!

    I just got done eating my first ever Monster Biscuit from Hardee’s– this biscuit has EGG, HAM, BACON, AND SAUSAGE! If you have a Hardee’s convenient to your house I suggest you stop in and pick one up! It’s like an arterial blockage in your mouth!
