Movie review: Star Trek
May 15th, 2009
Eric goes the traditional review route. He likes the film.
Zach skips the deep analysis and speaks as a life long Trek fan.
Dr. Fox enjoyed the movie but does not skip the deep analysis because something about the film, he’s not quite sure what, troubles him.
Dejavaboom waves his Trekker cred, genuflects to the new movie and [...]

Party time
April 13th, 2009
He’s been doing it wrong. Now he wants to engage in politics with his heart (and time and wallet) as well as his mind. So he joined a poitical party. It’s not the perfect party but its the best place for him right now.
Thoughts on guns and gun owners
March 30th, 2009
It’s thoughtful, it’s not anti-gun ownership, it’s not pro-NRA and it’s kinda long. A worthwhile read and an opportunity to carry on the discussion, or ask questions, in the comments.

Real geeks don’t choose
March 6th, 2009
Dr. Fox is on the horn’s of the classic “free ticket” dilemma; should he use the tickets to see Watchmen, Star Trek: The Reboot, or Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. You can help him decide which one his wife will let him see in his comments section.
When MTV actually showed music videos

This was a giant among those videos. Enjoy the Sledgehammery awesomeness of Peter Gabriel, courtesy of In Medias Res.
Friday’s 80s music video
January 9th, 2009
Unintentionally funny opening (“this promotional clip from 1981 was shot in black and white for artistic reasons”) but who can doubt the music machine that is the Who.
The same age as the Cinncinnati Bengals
January 5th, 2009
Born 3 days after Apollo 8 returned safely to earth and on the same day Trygve Lie, first United Nations Secretary General, passed away, it seems pre-ordained that Russel Arben Fox would be some what politically oriented. He turns loose the teacher in him with 40 lessons for his 40th birthday.

A longer, more thought provoking, post of the day

Problem?
December 8th, 2008
What problem? A suggestion that maybe those at the top of the pyramid might have an itty-bitty share of the blame when the world they rule has difficulties. Just a suggestions though. We are really all to blame of course.
We grok his concerns
November 20th, 2008
A Star Trek movie with the original characters (Kirk, Spock, Scotty etc.) but not the original actors. Is this Diet Dr. Pepper genius or New Coke fail? In Medias Res speaks for all of us.
A resonable self-disagreement
November 17th, 2008
The controversy over California’s passage of Proposition 8 is not confined to California. Russell Arben Fox takes you through his thoughts, and struggles, on the matter.

The power of vegamite
November 14th, 2008
What do Political Science professors do to unwind after the elections? They post deep, meaningful analysis and challenge our thinking as a sort-of post election debriefing.
Or they post music videos from the 80s and a link to a movie starring a homicidal computer. Same effect.
The core of the current economic distress

Fox media

We defer to the smart people
September 26th, 2008
Douglas and Main does not claim to know anything about finances. We don’t even have ads on the blog. So in the middle of, what appears to be, scary economic times we link to the local experts.
