For those who are still ‘hanging’

I thought I would post a few updates on goings-on.  After this I will post a serious post for my biz & insurance readers. Here is what I look like with a goatee:

Now that that is out of the way, let me explain.  Recall that I decided not to shave during most of December… now imagine that I could not bring myself to end the experiment entirely in January.  It is now February.

Here is my reasoning.  Starting the 23rd, I will be selling Renaissance-ish glassware and sundries at the Bay Area Renaissance Festival in Tampa , FL.  To the modern mind, it is inconceivable that Renaissance people (especially merchants and traders) had invented shaving.  Of course, they had, but they always have goatees in movies and novels.  Therefore, I felt I must go about scruffy (just slightly so) in preparation for my role as a Renaissance glass merchant.  More to come on this as news is made.

    • Modo Vernant Omnia - Tampa local with many topics of interest to my readers. As you might imagine, I could not resist blogrolling a site that has tags as diverse as: economy (with views similar), spinning (as in wool), ancient Greek stuff, and occult.
    • Nassim Nicholas Taleb - Fooled by Randomness - The Economist turned me on to Mr. Taleb, a trader turned philoisopher (as described by Forbes). His writing and his thinking are quite interesting, and certainly more worthwhile than anything you will find here.
    • Ouralexander.org - Site discussing informed consent in pediatric medicine, by a family that experienced the worst possible tragedy.
    • RiskProf - An Insurance Blog - A truly marvelous blog. I know risk & insurance are less interesting to most of you than organizing your sock drawer, but this is excellent writing. Besides, if you understand insurance you have the right to complain about it.

    • The Goodly Mr. Plotkin - My excellent friend Richard Plotkin. Read his musings and insights, or wander through the social network of MySpace users. Several of his blog-friends are people I went to school or knew other ways… I wonder if they will Google me and say ‘hi.’
