It’s Not What You Think: Exposing the Limits of Technology
Share FacebookXLinkedInRedditEmail I remember when Logos’s “philosophy of technology” fit on a T-shirt. It was this quote attributed to Johannes Gutenberg: Religious truth is imprisoned in a small number of manuscript books, which confine instead of spread the public treasure.
Random Idea Generator: Year of the Projects #2
I decided to work in Java, since it’s a language I learned in college that I want to get more familiar with. I was in a hurry today, and my PC is not set up right now, so I used an online sandbox. I believe in avoiding unnecessary barriers and getting the smallest thing done first! I can always go back and polish later. I started by creating a basic class to hold my main function, which calls the generator display function.
Project List: Year of the Projects #1
I wanted to start off with a very simple project to “get my feet wet” so to speak. I decided to create a personal website that could house a list of my Year of the Projects, each with a simple description, languages used, and a link to the project. I had previously had an introduction to creating a resume hosted on GitHub. I decided this would be an easy way to get up and running, so I found this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_O2BjhLgl0&t=1626s and used it as a starting point.
Year of the Projects!
I’ve seen a few different versions of this challenge floating around for programmers. I am going to attempt to create a new project, from scratch, once a week, for a whole year! My weeks will be Monday — Sunday, and started on 9/9/2024. My 52nd project should be published by 9/8/2025! Obviously these will be smaller, simpler projects since I only have seven days to complete each one. We are already in week two!
Fiction: The Man Who Was Thinking of Harming Himself
By Eli S. Evans A man who was thinking of harming himself and also was a bit drowsy decided to visit a coffee shop for a quick liquid pick-me-up. There, he came across a flier tacked to the community bulletin board that read: Thinking of harming yourself? WE CAN HELP followed by a phone number. “God fucking damnit!” said the man, because the fresh coffee had burned his lips and tongue.
Fiction: The Man Who Ate Guacamole With His Wife
By Eli S. Evans A man was eating guacamole with his wife. “You can have the rest,” she said, pointing to it. “Just let me – ” And breaking off there, reached into the bowl with her spoon, scooped out no less than half of its creamy contents, and plopped them right on top of her quesadilla. Evidently, the man couldn’t have the rest of the guacamole – and it wasn’t so much the guacamole that bothered him as it was the dishonesty and the doublespeak.
Poetry: The Lost Balloon by Eli S. Evans
Poetry: The Lost Balloon by Eli S. Evans The Lost Balloon They had nine children, all of them named George except for one, who they named Georgina because from the moment she was born one could see she would grow up to become a great beauty, and Georgina struck them as a better name than George for a great beauty. In fact, Georgina grew up to be more of what one might call “a good-looking woman,” and she also grew up to be an emergency room nurse, which was how she came to meet Dan.
Fiction: Avocado Toast Cabaret
By Eli S. Evans For lunch, the man had prepared himself a slice of avocado toast. “How very modern of you,” observed his wife, arching her eyebrows. “What did you want me to have?” asked the man, resenting the implication. “Pot roast? Stewed rabbit? Mutton? It’s a healthy lunch, and if they happen to eat it in Hollywood so be it. I’m not going to deny myself just because I’m afraid someone will accuse me of being a what do you call it?” “A poser,” said his wife.
Here’s the pro-free speech letter the U. Tennessee student newspaper wouldn’t run
Editor’s note: The following op-ed was submitted in early February to the top editors of the University of Tennessee’s student newspaper the Daily Beacon. After weeks of follow-ups, editors made it official; the piece, submitted as both a guest op-ed as well as a letter to the editor, had been “filtered out” of consideration and declined. No further explanation was provided.
Welcome to the Shiva
Melissa didn’t sleep. Which means I didn’t sleep. She wasn’t up waiting for the results. She was lying awake in grief and fear. A lot of women cried today. There’s a room at her high school called the Harbor, a sort of permanent lounge for those having trouble coping at school. Madame Albert went to the Harbor. Her students called on her late in the day. Was Madame Albert really in tears? She was, and she is. Now she is standing before me, shaking her iPhone.

If Trump has his way on climate policy, the forests of the Southwest—already in grave peril—are finished. If Trump has his way on border policy, an ever more militarized atmosphere is destined to overlay the life of the borderlands. November 13, 2016 The Election The gallows humor isn’t even funny.

Photo Ops | Issue 11 | n+1
I know most people have collections of this kind of material, even in the fashion industry. You look at the images from Iraq with that 20-year-old girl making prisoners masturbate for the camera. It comes from porn. I think it will become the norm for people to have cameras in their homes documenting their sexual activity. It’s there; why not bring it out into a mainstream context? Terry Richardson Have you seen this man?
