Invitations and Becomings

In a couple of recent posts to his NY Times blog (1,2), Stanley Fish has come out strongly in support of the unmitigated uselessness of the humanities.

Well, setting up this space seems to be the most fruitful use I've made of my insomnia for a while. I'm going to try to post regularly, and with some luck, import old Blogger posts into the archive.

I've been realising more and more the dangers of privileging professional over personal identity, so I'll be a little more relaxed here, and make more of an effort to make space for things that are simply there for my amusement.

After all, as Dr Ross says, the one who smiles most wins.
