After that wonderful interview experience, I just wanted to tell one of my favorite people: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUNNI MARAVILLOSA! (shouting as loud as my Brooklyn voice will allow...)
Squeezessssssssssssssss, hugsssssssssssssss, kissessssssssssssss, much love alwayssssssssssss.
Comments welcome.
Just a shout-out to Stephen Davies who, today, joins the roster of Liberty & Power Group Blog!
I was very touched by Vid Axel's tribute to me today at his Living Action site. Being listed in the "Love" category says it all; I've known him for years and I too am honored to be his friend. (And I left a comment too.)
Shine On, Vid!
Comments welcome, but go visit Vid's site!
I just wanted to take this opportunity to welcome my friend Stan Rozenfeld to the blogosphere. He's always a fine source of recommendations and insights; take a look at Stan Rozenfeld's Journal. I welcomed him here too.
I just wanted to welcome Chris Cathcart to the blogosphere; his first entry (May 11, 2005) mentions Total Freedom, so how can I resist? Check out his home page as well.
I want to join Wendy McElroy and Aeon Skoble in wishing well to my friend and colleague, Liberty editor, and Journal of Ayn Rand Studies founding co-editor, Bill Bradford. Bill was taken ill, and I hope he gets well soon.
Comments welcome... or just send your best wishes to Bill for a speedy recovery. (See my L&P cross-post here.)
Two regular readers of Notablog have launched their own blogs, at which I've left comments as well. Welcome to the Blogosphere to Technomaget and Matthew Humphreys. I left a comment for each here and here.
I welcome Anthony Gregory to L&P.
I post a welcome to Jason Kuznicki in response to his first post at L&P: "A Brief Biography."
I welcome Kenneth R. Gregg to L&P, commenting twice here on his post, "Something New in the Neighborhood."
Lindsay Perigo announces the forthcoming Free Radical Rand Centenary issue here. I've got a couple of pieces in the issue, including a synopsis of the two Centenary symposia featured by The Journal of Ayn Rand Studies, and an introduction to the life and work of composer Miklos Rozsa. The issue will be available soon. Subscribe here.
Just a little exchange between Bill Marina and me: "Chris Sciabarra, Total Freedom."
I add my voice of welcome as Sudha Shenoy joins Liberty and Power Group Blog.
I've left comments on two "New Year's" threads: Lindsay Perigo's "Salutations, SOLOists!" (comments here and here) and Larry Sechrest's "A Toast to the Worthwhile Life" (comments here).
I'd sent along a particularly insightful quote of Nathaniel Branden's to Arthur Silber, who mentions it in his essay: "Of the Past, the Future, Personal Destiny—And a Blessing." The essay says something important about blessings, and I can think of no better time of year to make note of them.
The Review of Austrian Economics has published a review, written by Steven Horwitz, of my book Total Freedom: Toward a Dialectical Libertarianism. Excerpts from this rather good review are posted to my site here. RAE is published by Kluwer Academic Publishers. (See also Roderick Long's L&P post on the new RAE issue here.)
I posted a mini-tribute to Jeopardy contestant Ken Jennings at L&P: "And the Answer Is..."
Update: Like the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, this game show is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year too! Also, check out the follow-up discussion at L&P: "Interesting to Consider the Final Question Too." Also, check out the L&P entry for an update on Jennings' winnings, and the fate of the woman who beat him.
I welcome a long-time colleague and pal, Mark Brady, to Liberty & Power Group Blog. See here and here.
At L&P, I post a Happy Birthday message in honor of "The NYC Subway Centennial."
