We’re back! 2 Feb 20152 Feb 2015 Thanks to the generosity of three donors – Neil, James and Ben – I have enough to pay the rent on this place. Now I have to do some writing. Problem is I’m time poor, so I thought I’d write up some of my lecture notes as posts. Expect some stuff on the idea of nature, and maybe some other lectures. I am also thinking of a series on sexual ethics and relationships. It may be rather different to the previous posts. Let me know what you think. Again, thanks to the donors. They are all friends, and their and others’ kind words encourage me greatly. Administrative
Administrative The Antarctic Grrl 26 Jun 2009 I’m very conflicted about this because I wanted to go to the Antarctic (but not for a month), but GrrlScientist has thrown her fedora into the circus, so I will tell you all to go vote for her to win the “spend a bloggy month in Antarctica” comp. Just so… Read More
Administrative Well, I’m in Sydney 2 Feb 2009 … but my furniture, clothes and importantly bedding aren’t. So I sleep on the floor tonight. Also I’m having horrible times trying to get the University of Sydney’s IT to give me access (it seems not to like Google Mail or Firefox). So blogging and replies will be slow for… Read More
Administrative Travel Diary 10: DC 27 Oct 2009 I met these guys and got trashed: I circled our next destination in red… From left, my host, Mitch Coffey, me, Mike Ikeda, and Robert Grumbine. Robert’s wife Vicki is taking the shot; and of course she was the sanest one there. Unfortunately, Homeland Security showed not the slightest interest… Read More
Glad to see you’re still here. I’m looking forward to your posts, and I think the idea of the series on sexual ethics and relationships is an interesting one.
John, Great news that your wealth of knowledge re EVOLVING THOUGHTS remains online. I also look forward to seeing your philosophical views of sexual ethics. I’ve been doing that myself. For example, one of my latest opinion pieces is “Shades of Sexual Ethics and Amnesia” (http://www.opednews.com/articles/Shades-of-Sexual-Ethics-an-by-James-Goetz-Bible_Christian-Religion_Christian-Sexual-Taboos_Christian-Values-150113-130.html). May EVOLVING THOUGHTS live long and prosper…. Jim
For the record, I could be persuaded to make a modest donation sometime, if you were to let slip the relevant bank account details. A once-only sum of fifty dollars would be no problem. My blog costs $20/year (as the only upgrade I have is the one that lets me upload audio files), but I also have a website at $60/year and a Box account at $100/year. A series on sexual ethics sounds good. I’d be more likely to contribute to that conversation than some complicated nature stuff, and on your blog I feel confident that the comment thread would be reasonable in quality and not overwhelming in quantity. Your take will be thoughtful, sensible and … ethical … and if there’s anything we disagree on, that could be interesting too.
John, I can’t view your blog using Google Chrome (downloaded FireFox to make this commnet), it’s been like this ever since the new design. As soon as I attempt to scroll down, all content vanishes. Scroll back up and it reappears; down and it away it goes again. I can only read a couple of paragraphs and have to give up. Could any other Chrome users let me know if this is a problem unique to me?
I have a Chrome problem that makes about half the page white except when I highlight everything. That is from my work computer when I am on break, so I cannot spend much time looking into it. Deleting cache did not help.
I’m using Chrome (Version 47.0.2526.106 m) and everything seems to be okay. I don’t remember coming to this blog before so I can’t be certain that everything is working but I am able to read the articles and comments.
