A Rationale for Koioslisp
As I worked on Koioslisp, I was asked the same question numerous times: why? At first, this question surprised me: lispers create new dialects rather often, and indeed it is a rite-of-passage for new converts to write a simple lisp interpreter. But such languages are usually examples to demonstrate the ease of implementing lisp within itself, and as such Koioslisp cannot be one of their fold....

The United States of America on college education
Student: I'm not going to go to college because I don't want to go into debt.
USA: YOU USELESS PIECE OF SHIT. YOU'RE GOING TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING YOU FUCKING SCUMBAG. YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MY TAXES ARE SO HIGH.
Student: I'm just going to attend a small community college instead.
USA: HAHAHA YOU WERE TOO STUPID TO GET INTO A GOOD UNIVERSITY. ENJOY YOUR MCDONALD'S DIPLOMA.
Student: I attended a four year university and received a diploma in a field I am interested in. Now I am $50,000+ in debt.
USA: YOU DUMBASS. WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE WHEN YOU KNOW YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT? YOU DIDN'T EVEN CHOOSE A USEFUL MAJOR EITHER. GOD PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME SICK.

Review and responses about Red Dawn by Racebending.com
This upside-down vision of the world is actually a recurring characteristic of white supremacism: white people imagine and fear people of color doing horrible things to them which, in fact, white people have historically done to people of color. Many white people imagine that Black people are out to attack and kill...

The Fortress Programming Language →
The Fortress Programming Language is an interesting Sun project that I thought I might link to. One of the creators is the venerable Dr. Guy L. Steele, who has greatly contributed to the design of my favorite programming languages (Common Lisp and Scheme).
Fortress has innovative abstractions for parallelism and concurrency, and I have to say, the syntax is very tasteful. But I digress; much of...

Today we remember an event that killed thousands—a truly tragic day. Today marks the day of Agosto Pinochet’s US-backed coup in Chile, removing democratically-elected (Marxist) President Salvador Allende from power and installing a dictatorship (whose policies were later used as the basis for the Thatcher/Reagan era).

Reinventing my Blog
I haven’t used this much in a while. I’ve decided to re-invent it—not as a purely political blog, but merely something where I rant about things that provoke strong reactions or interesting trains of thought.
