And now, for something completely different.
In between slacking off at my job and slacking off at home (coincidentally, both are due in part to feelings of frustration, powerlessness, and irritation at Stuff Not Done The Right Way), I've been reading on the bus. Most recently, Daniel Dennett's Consciousness Explained.
Having already read The Mind's I, Breaking the Spell, and Elbow Room, I must say that I am reading with both anticipation and trepidation - Dennett is smart, but sometimes unfortunately disappointing. But, although I have only made it through the introductory section, I'm beginning to think this might be one of the excellent ones.
More on that when I finish (maybe!).

Yes, it's a touch voyeuristic, but then, so is the whole process of blogging. In any case, it's spring in the southern hemisphere, so to pleasure my mate, were I to have one, I would bring them a freshly caught mammal of some kind. It just seems the right thing to do after a long hibernation.
