New APPS: Art, Politics, Philosophy, Science

I'm taking part in a new group blog at www.newappsblog.com. 

Here's our intro spiel: 

We come from many different places, but we all share interests in art, politics, philosophy, and science (hence the title of the blog). We’d like to provide a forum for people to keep up-to-date on what’s happening in these spheres and to discuss issues that arise therein. While it’s true that we’re particularly concerned with what’s happening to higher education today, we have many interests and will post on many different topics. We’ve tried for diversity in geography and philosophical orientation in assembling our group and hope there will be something for everyone here.

Come on over and check us out!
