2:15 am	The new blog location, and the fate of the LiveJournal feed The main Arcane Gazebo blog has moved to http://arcanegazebo.net. If you click to one of the inverse posts listed in this journal and want to post a comment, you have to go to the new site to do it. The new server doesn't have the plug-in that reposts the RSS feed to LiveJournal. I think a better solution is to set it up as a LiveJournal syndicated feed. I would set this up myself but I don't have a paid LJ account; however, I know a few of you are paid users, so if someone wants to set it up, go ahead and let me know so I can publicize it. The RSS feed is located at http://www.arcanegazebo.net/index.xml and of course those of you who like straight RSS can use that instead of a LJ feed. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:48 pm	Highlights [Open Thread] Highlights [Open Thread] I saw the last two minutes of the Italy-Germany game, which turned out to be a very efficient use of my time. In other news, the network outages plaguing this site may be easily fixable, but the database crashes are... (Posted on inverse.)
2:51 pm	Independence Day Independence Day I've seen this on a couple blogs already, but it's so good I want to repost it. Frederick Douglass in 1852: What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? I answer, a day that reveals to him, more... (Posted on inverse.)

12:49 am	Weirdness and the outsider in Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town Weirdness and the outsider in Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town My intention for the short capsule book reviews in the open threads is simply to say whether or not I liked the book in question.

5:10 pm	Why I love Berkeley Why I love Berkeley Sure, this is completely futile, but that's part of the charm: With overwhelming support from Berkeley residents, the Berkeley City Council unanimously passed a resolution Tuesday night to be the first jurisdiction in the United States to let the public...

4:36 pm	Personal Advice from the Internet Personal Advice from the Internet I had been debating whether to fly out to Connecticut this summer to visit friends, and if I do so, whether to take some extra time to tour New York City.

5:44 pm	Sleater-Kinney retire Sleater-Kinney retire Or rather, go on "indefinite hiatus". As I've mentioned before, this was the band that got me into indie rock, so it's especially sad news. I'm now really glad I decided to see them instead of Bloc Party at Coachella.... (Posted on inverse.)

5:38 pm	Recent inattentiveness Recent inattentiveness I was already kicking myself for missing Built To Spill's three San Francisco shows last weekend, only remembering to check for tickets once they had all sold out.

3:43 pm	Google Reader test drive Google Reader test drive I'm trying out Google Reader after having used Sage for a while now. I like reading blogs by RSS but I have a strict list of requirements for an RSS reader: It must run in Firefox. That's it. I've tried... (Posted on inverse.)
12:46 am	Books that resonate Books that resonate After I wrote my review of Norwegian Wood it occurred to me that I could extend it to a discussion thread. We've already discussed Great American Novels, but for this one put questions of literary merit aside (as well as... (Posted on inverse.)

11:25 pm	Strongly recommended [Open Thread] Strongly recommended [Open Thread] I spent the weekend with a mild cold, which still persists.
