One City

Ethan’s find last week was better, but this is still pretty funny:

Hey guys, since my last post on politics, identity, and identity politics stirred the pot a bit, I thought I’d stay in a similar vein. A few disclaimers: there is no Sex and the City, no Super Mario Bros., and no mentions of Feminism in this post. Next week’s topic is why I don’t like…

Hi all, I had to share this…my boy Dharma Mittra was on Regis and Kelly for a pose-off. Strange world we live in….but…go Dharma.

The paperback edition of Mingyur Rinpoche’s The Joy of Living (Three Rivers Press, just released) is about to hit the NY Times bestseller list at #12, and everyone at my office is super excited (and conditionally happy). What better book to sell a million copies than this? It was originally pitched as “The Buddha, the…

Stillman Brown is a Senior Fellow at the Ida May Gurkis Institute for Idleness. He has not published since 1983. For graduation last year I was given Tom Hodgkinson’s How to Be Idle, a somewhat-revolutionary, pseudo-intellectual, rather-Marxist treatise on idling, creativity, and how to live life.

Stillman here. In case you haven’t already seen it (and I assume many of you have), the New York Times had a wonderful story about gardener and Buddhist practitioner Wendy Johnson a while back. A bit: It is a cliché to say that gardening is meditative. But few have meditated as long and as earnestly…

Okay. I may get voted off the One City Blog for this one, but that’s a chance I have to take. There’s been a lot of Sex and the City talk on this blog lately, and I hope you don’t mind if I take the discussion a bit further. I came across this piece a…

Who’s the real feminist above? (hint: Maybe it’s not the ladies) The dynamic ID Project duo of Cassie and Cassie told me that I was a LesBro last week (Definition here at Urban Dictionary). They meant it as a deep compliment, and also told me in the same breath that I was a real feminist.…
