Back home, and an invitation

*waves*.

For Jan 31st, I'm going to cook a large pot of chili, and get some bread, oranges and a sugar loaf (I still have rum and red wine and spices).

Anyone who feels like coming over, just show up after sunset and bring some food.

Catching up on the internet

I'm catching up on the internet, so, some links:

I wish that, just once, some terrorist would try something that you can only foil by upgrading the passengers to first class and giving them free drinks. --- Bruce Schneier, on his blog, Dec 26th.

When I was home, "The Name of the Rose" was on TV. As things tend to connect, here's (via MakingLight's Particles) someone arguing for the point that the papal delegation made in the movie (and the book) regarding the controversy on the question of poverty. As a cultural Lutheran, I always find it amusing when Evangelicals try to out-Pope the Pope. Any Pope. I wonder what Eco would have to say on it.

Maybe more later if I find interesting stuff.
