/etc/running: Feaster Five
http://hoodtocoaster.blogspot.com/2006/11/feaster-five.html
Thursday, November 23, 2006. Feaster Five, Andover, Massachusetts, 8:30 AM. The rain held back and it was a cloudy and brisk Thanksgiving Day, 40F or so. Hadn't run for four days, since 7.2 miles around the lake on Saturday; I've been nursing a new injury, extensor tendonitis on my right foot. Heading down one street I hear the Rocky theme blaring, it picks me up, I start shadow boxing even, getting strong now! Met up with the slower 5K runners, and that really picks me up because I'm flying. This is a s...

/etc/running: Beyond Belief 2006
http://hoodtocoaster.blogspot.com/2006/11/beyond-belief-2006_28.html
Tuesday, November 28, 2006. There was some great great discussion at Beyond Belief 2006 Conference. Fifteen hours of video can be found here. I'm a little way into it. Steven Weinberg. Were all great, a good interplay of ideas and approaches. Just finished listening to Neil deGrasse Tyson. And he shows slide after slide of lists of Arabic named stars. Then, disaster. In the 12th century, this clown, Imam Hamid al-Ghazali. Instead, we've got only one or two. All because of al-Ghazali. Fascinating. I am a ...

/etc/running: Saturn
http://hoodtocoaster.blogspot.com/2006/12/saturn.html
Wednesday, December 06, 2006. Gave a very nice talk at Beyond Belief 2006. On If Not God, Then What. And presented some wonderful photos, like the one of Saturn, above. Ann Druyan. And wife of the late Carl Sagan. Also gave a charming talk. Also, Mahzarin Banaji. Gave a really interesting presentation of the implicit bias of the human mind (session 7). Try taking a couple of these Implicit Association Tests. As one of the preppiest towns in America). But what was really interesting was when Banaji po...

/etc/running: Carl
http://hoodtocoaster.blogspot.com/2006/12/carl.html
Wednesday, December 20, 2006. It is the tenth anniversary of the death of Carl Sagan. Is hosting a Carl Sagan Memorial Blog-a-Thon. I was introduced to Carl, along with millions (or BILLIONS and BILLIONS maybe I should say) in 1980 with his Cosmos. That individual Neanderthals human beings lived that long :-) Whoa! I was curious but was also occasionally an idiot! Anyway, I was so into college, 4.0 GPA easy. Anyway, I love and thank Carl for his enthusiasm and his ability to express his sense of wonder f...

/etc/running: 7 Miles
http://hoodtocoaster.blogspot.com/2006/11/7-miles.html
Thursday, November 09, 2006. When I was a child I used to pray to God for a bicycle. But then I realized that God doesn't work in that way — so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness. 8212; Emo Philips. Posted by David ( link.

/etc/running: Camp Pine Ridge
http://hoodtocoaster.blogspot.com/2007/06/camp-pine-ridge.html
Friday, June 29, 2007. At the age of eight in 1968 I attended a Christian summer camp called Camp Pine Ridge. In Rumney, New Hampshire. I happened to be thinking about it and found that they now have a Web site, and a place for alumni to send greetings and memories. Here's the friendly message I sent:. Let's take a walk down memory lane shall we? It was this same hapless fellow, perhaps nine years old, who I saw being publicly berated in chapel by the minister for wearing shorts on Sunday - he'd apparent...

Monday, October 30, 2006. Imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in, an interesting hole I find myself in, fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it! 8212; Douglas Adams. Posted by David ( link. What a great douglas adams quote. Thanks for sharing.

Saturday, November 11, 2006. 11K on 11/11 at 11:11. Veterans Memorial 11K (6.82 miles) in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Held every year on 11/11 at 11:11am, a veritable orgy of 11's. And with a cannon start. This year we were instructed to have a moment of silence just before the start, eveyone's silent with heads bowed . BAM! The canon goes off signalling the start of the race, scared the b'jesus out of half the crowd, I nearly jumped out of my socks. 8212; Frederick Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury. View my...
