Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.
Ahead
This weekend in America we moved clocks ahead an hour. This generally means the following Monday is full of zombies disoriented and exhausted by what shouldn’t be a big deal but for some reason our bodies just can’t deal with it. Anyway, it’s a new week and at least around here, a sunny-ish one to…
Wmotd, Week 10
So far this month feels like it is ZOOMING… or at least this past week certainly did. This piece is much longer than I share typically, but take a break and listen to it all the way through if you don’t already know the piece— trust me.
Night Sky
Without meaning to, this ended up looking like the night sky, I think. What do you think? What does this look like to you?
Daylight
Last week, the latest round of Spark ended (and once again I participated).* As in the past, that also means that I have a new crop of unpublished iterations to share with you here. The written inspiration piece I was assigned this go-round was more complex than some I’ve gotten in the past and dealt…
Wmotd, Week 9
This song has been stuck in my head lately. February is just about over and it seems to have been a tough month for some of us if nothing else because of the weather. Listening to this track on repeat (as I tend to when I write these weekly posts) a number of things come…
A little rain must fall
Rumor has it it’s supposed to be rainy this weekend. Stay tuned, I guess.
Wmotd, Week 8
Hard to believe it’s the eighth Friday of the year already. In grad school, Fridays often meant taking the train to Stockholm and this album generally reminds me of Sweden. Have a nice weekend, friends.
Travel Notes–Baltimore
Baltimore. Most seem to know it from The Wire and occasionally from Homicide: Life on the Street or John Waters’ movies like Hairspray. But whether you know anything about this funny city on the water or not, there’s always something else to discover, learn or do just like any other bigger town or city. And…
Spotty
Had forgotten about this photo and then came across it again this afternoon. Not sure why I never posted this but here it is now.
Wmotd, Week 7
Since it’s Valentine’s Day here’s a little love song of sort. This is by no means a new song, written & recorded in the 1950s originally by Phil Phillips, Sea of Love has been interpreted by a number of artists over the years. This version from 2006 by Tom Waits is my favorite (Iggy Pop’s…
Pax
If you’re tuning in from America, or keep up on US current events, you’re probably aware of a massive winter storm bearing down on the east coast at the moment. Last night the storm blew into town, dumping close to a foot of snow in my neighborhood in about 12 hours. The snow drifts on…
A is for
A is for…. you tell me.
Cloud Bursts
Weather throughout the US has been a little unpredictable lately. Sounds like folks are already mentally ready for spring or summer, so how about a few snapshots from a warmer season to daydream about:
Wmotd, Week 6
Haven’t been feeling so hot this week. Hopefully this weekend things will turn the corner and the haze will lift. Smooth by Car Stereo Wars
Pressed
A few snaps from Golden, Colorado a while back. Old license plates baking in the mile high, golden sun.
Day 31.3
One month down, eleven more to go! It’s tempting to just keep doing more portraits for the another month of Daily365 exercises because it’s easy, but it’s probably also boring to see photo illustrations all the time. What do you guys think?
Wmotd, Week 5
This week seemed to simultaneously zoom and crawl. Either way it’s Friday which means, among other things, that it’s time to share another piece of music. This song always makes me think of riding the train for some reason. Swingtime in the Rockies by Benny Goodman
Day 30.3
Day 29.3

At least one person I care about really loves the color yellow. So here is a collection of a few yellows I’ve come across, just for them:
Got any book recommendations?
