The View From Kalamazoo

What Do Parents of Children with Learning Disabilities, ADHD, and Related Disorders Deal With

Some links I’ve been collecting all week:

What a sad thing: David Pingree has died. I can’t describe how valuable his work has been to me. I had tried to get him invited here (as a plenarist), but I’m a minion and get no say, and I inquired of his program at Brown – and at that point they had recently stopped accepting applications due to the uncertainty and his retirement. I would have loved to work with the man on ancient and medieval astrological texts, loved to.

What a loss. He was unique, brilliant…his work was what really pulled me into my area of concentration, more than anything else. Really. ( have his Picatrix: The Latin Version sitting next to me, in fact.)

New stuff up!

You Know a Lot About Blogging

You got 5/8 correct! Your not a total blogging geek yet… give it time.

There are many things to say about many things. Important things in academia, in the land of blog, other places.

But I haven’t been saying them, although I want to, intend to, and maybe even will. But there is no time and no energy for that now.

My job is f-ing insane. Running and screaming might be the more understated option.

I feel like the anti-Tiny-Tim: ‘God damn you, every one.’

Ok, well, enough blogs in my Doods list have appeared to have gone permanently awry that I should really clean the place up.

So if you have suggestions, please share.
