Posted: March 5, 2008 Filed under: Of Mice and Men 2 CommentsI was just about to log off of this lab computer and head to class when I pulled up engadget.com for a quick look. And there was an article that you all need to read.
Think tank pins Apple’s iPod as possible culprit for increase in violent crime
Please, tell me that you agree with me. It’s absurd, right?

It’s taken me a while to get back into reading this series — I read the first 3 before the movie came out, but just recently picked up #4. Since then, they seem to be going back and forth between brilliantly unfortunate and altogether mediocre.
#6 is fun. The story is really taking off, now. My interest is finally piqued enough that I will read the rest not only because they’re short and enjoyable, but because now I want to know what happens.
Keep reading!
The Hidden Wound

by Wendell Berry
Although this book was assigned for a class and not something I simply picked up, it was a really enjoyable read. Berry uses beautiful prose and great literary devices to help himself — and all of us — understand the real implications of racism, not only for the victims but for the racists. He feels that as whites we have done ourselves a great injury by failing to acknowledge, accept, and appreciate the widsom and worth of other cultures.
Such a short book is easy to get through, but I found myself flipping back through it to reread passages. If you’re in the mood for something poetic, honest, and philosophical, pick up a copy of The Hidden Wound. (And let me know what you think of it!)
