My house is a mess. My life is kind of feeling like a mess too. So much stuff. What to keep, what to discard, what to try to sell in a climate where there are no buyers. Challenges all. Piggybacking off of my weekend post<\/a>, I’m inclined to just cut everything down to what fits in a backpack. But then I think of all the books and the possibility of raising a child someday without their parents’ collection of books just seems cruel.<\/p>\n

Is that a strange reason to keep 10-15 boxes of very heavy books?<\/p>\n

In any event, something I’ve gotten together this week is the resurrection of old debate videos that I have had on VHS for time immemorial (that’s what seven years feels like, at any rate).<\/p>\n

I’ll be offering up one of these a week, the first is posted here: on ParliDebate.com<\/a>, which is developing quite a trove of past debate rounds.<\/p>\n

The one\/week thing not only makes the releases nice and dramatic, but it’s because Vimeo puts an upload limit on things. The one\/week thing will also likely be interrupted when we go on our 2009 Sunset to Sunrise Summer Sojourn, which is currently slated to commence on 7 July 2009. A full schedule of said Sojourn should actually be out sometime this week too.<\/p>\n

I really liked the part where I thought I’d have enough time during this month to work on a lot of new web projects and revamping. At this rate, I’ll be lucky if I’ve packed two-thirds of the house by Jake’s wedding.<\/p>\n

Or maybe I’m just demoralized today because lifting objects puts me in a bad mood. Always.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to lift your mouse-clicking-finger to go over to ParliDebate.com, here are the Stanford 2002 Finals for your viewing pleasure:<\/p>\n
