Update on Sandefur and Rowe

By stcynic on May 17, 2004.

Timothy Sandefur has returned from his weekend in Vegas. Unfortunately, he didn't go there for a weekend of drunken debauchery and gambling, but to participate in panel discussions at Freedom Fest, a gathering of the libertarian-minded. It's probably a good thing I didn't attend this event, as I probably would have abandoned the speeches and panel discussions to jump into a few satellites for the World Series of Poker or hit the 10/20 holdem tables. But it sounds like he had a great time. He's also changed the URL of his blog, moving from blogspot to typepad. Good move, I think.

His former guest blogger and fellow libertarian lawyer Jon Rowe is interviewing for permanent teaching positions, so I'd like to wish him good luck in the hunt. Given the passion and insight with which he writes, I imagine he would be a very good teacher.

Meeting My Sciblings

World Series of Poker
The World Series of Poker is going on right now at Binion's Horseshoe in Las Vegas. Most people are familiar with it from the replays on ESPN, watching Chris Moneymaker win last year. But if you're not a poker player, you probably don't realize that the event that is televised is only the last of…
Sandefur on Mencken
In the latest entry of his ongoing Libertarian Bookworm series, Timothy Sandefur writes about H.L. Mencken, in my opinion the finest essayist in American history and probably my single favorite writer, period. He mentions a new biography of Mencken written by Terry Teachout, which I had not heard…

Thanks: 2 down, 1 to go. Hopefully by next fall I will have escapted this adjunct hell (actually, it's not so bad -- it's quite enjoyable, in fact -- except for the $ -- that's the "hell").

Good luck, Jon. I have so many friends in academia and whenever they talk about it, I'm glad I'm NOT.
