A few thousand words' worth

I've spent the last couple of days trying, and failing, to write something perceptive about McGinn's theory that consciousness is matter without committing the cardinal sin of calling the theory bunk. So I'm no mood to write much. Fortunately, I bought a camera last week, so I can show you some pictures instead. Unfortunately, it's been raining in Miami for much of the last week, so I can't show you any pictures of the city in refulgent splendour. If I take enough goodies, I'll perhaps start an online gallery of some kind. In the meantime:

Here's the view towards downtown from the university metro station....

Here's the view towards downtown from the philosophy department....

Here's a view of part of campus from the philosophy department...

And here's the view I've mostly been enjoying this week when not in the philosophy department.


If you click on the pictures, they go all bigger and stuff. If anyone has any particular things which they'd like to see, let me know. Or anything they'd like me to write about. Though bear in mind my mother reads this (hi Mum).

Might also be worth mentioning I'm now Skype-equipped. If you are, you should be able to find me if you can spell my surname, and then you can audit my accent for any americanisms.

Alright nick.

It's Jonathan.
Just to let you know that I am reading with interest.
I was quite impressed that you managed to locate me on last.fm.

Anyway... I'm off to deal with Durham's sots.
