Calling All Hispanohablantes

Hola Waferes!

I realize most of you don't speak Spanish, but for the few who do I thought this interview I did with the Universidad de Monterrey recently might be of some interest:

Just click on 53.9MB, and my part of the discussion starts at around 2 minutes into the recording.

Disfrutalo, chicos!

OK, Wafers and Waferettes: Nothing between my ears right now but the sound of wind in a tunnel, so I'll just give this one a number and we can continue on our merry way. Just remember: you live among dolts.

The Vancouver Lecture

Dear Wafers:

Well, it seemed to go well enough (this was yesterday morning, out at UBC), with the exception of a douche bag on a cell phone. I'm actually grateful, whenever I give a lecture, if people in the audience don't throw rotten fruit. Anyway, pour yourself a double scotch and sit back:

Greetings Wafers and Waferettes!

We have managed to fill up #174 pretty quickly, so we need to move on to #175. But please note, I've been doing all kinds of outrageous things in Vancouver, and will soon post the links for these activities as soon as my hosts provide them. Stay tuned to this station, all will be revealed.

Dear Wafers-

Once again, I have nothing edifying to say (of course my critics believe that's always true, but what're ya gonna do), so can only identify this as the 174th post. In terms of possible themes rt now, I suggest:

1. CRE (a perennial favorite) 2. Reasons to kill yourself (Camus would approve) 3. Deli meats.

On that note, let 'er roll!

Dear Wafers:

Last post was nearing 200 comments, so it was time to move on. This is post #173, and frankly, I have nothing to say. Oh, wait: some of you wanted info on my April 5 lecture at UBC in Vancouver. It's going to be at 11 a.m. in the Neville Scarfe Bldg., Rm 100. For those of you who can't make it, I'll post the link to the videotape sometime after the lecture.

Onward and Downward,
