Hope everyone is having a good break. Since it’s Winter Break, I’m playing around with changing the look of the site. I tend to favor dead-simple themes and layouts. My previous theme, despite its simplicity, wasn’t simple enough for me. So I’m playing around with this one. Here’s a summary of of some other changes. [...]

I’ve been playing around with Google Chrome’s extension called Chrome to Phone, and I’m completely hooked. The concept is simple enough. You’re on your desktop and you find some information that would be useful to bring up on your phone in the near future (e.g. you’re about to leave your office to go to class). [...]

At the beginning of each semester, I teach all of my students about basic argument structure and vocabulary (e.g. valid, invalid, sound, and unsound) and get them familiar with the practice of presenting arguments in numbered-premise form.

We (Android for Academics) just released a grade book program. I’m pretty excited about this. It’s been in the works all summer, and I’m very happy that we could get it out for the start of the fall semester. That’s really all due to  Jon Nalewajek - he did all of the coding on this [...]

I was invited to write a critical review of Jennifer Lackey’s book Learning from Words. I just submitted a draft to Philosophical Books for review, but I still welcome comments/feedback. In short, despite the fact that I disagree with Lackey on a number of issues, I think this book is excellent. Here’s a link to [...]

This was just posted up on Inside Higher Ed. A new study is claiming that law schools lean left in their hiring. The data is based on a sample of 149 hires. They could only get political ideologies for 40% of the sample. And here’s something weird; there is no information provided on distibution of [...]
