Thursday Morning

I am still suffering from visiting the central time zone.

What is it about the concept utility that makes it so attractive? To date, the majority from the outset has rejected each idea that has been discussed in my ethics class. Somehow this did not happen with utilitarianism.

Different questions: Do we really use utility to justify decisions? Is it right/wrong to consider the (anticipated) consequences of one’s actions?

I am sure this will be expanded in a later post.

I picked up Wil Wheaton’s Just a Geek over the weekend. Despite having a ton of work on my plate I have managed to read a bit, and it looks good. It is not quite like having purchased an updated and physical copy of his blog. In fact, there is a substantial amount of freestanding writing within. Consistent with other Wheaton material I have seen, it is at once really funny, engaging, and true.

I will get around to relating stories of Café Mozart and the Berghoff (one of which I highly recommend, one of which I recommend a title alteration) as soon as I have an evening of my own.

Fall Break's End

The annual blessing that is fall break has come to an end. I have traveled to Chicago and have had a blast. I will relate the stories as soon as possible.
