Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 11/ art-like-morality-consists-in-draw…There's another art installation in the courtyard below my window at work. Wouldn't you know it, it's another mediation on man's inhumanity to the environment! But really, is there any other kind of art installation in the year 2008? It seems to me that whoever out there accrediting Salamanca artists insist on some "man's inhumanity to the environment" component on public displays these days.

Apples
http://hobartdaily.com/ 2008/ 11/ 17/ apples-2/Once upon a time Tasmania was known as the Apple Isle with the Port of Hobart the gateway to the world with Apples going far and wide. Over time the industry lost out to fruit from other parts of the world and while it still exists, its smaller than it used to be.

Here, it takes all the running you can do, to stay in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that.
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 11/ here-it-takes-all-running-you-can-…Some people seemed surprised at the photo of my office window that was posted the other day. The office building, you see, is a converted former warehouse that (I believe) was built by convicts (I think) some time ago. Salamanca Place is essentially a splendid row of Georgian sandstone warehouses dating back to the 1830s.

Klug zu reden ist doch schwer, klug zu schweigen noch viel mehr
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 11/ klug-zu-reden-ist-doch-schwer-klug…Top on the right, that's my office window. I've featured the view from there before, and I even shared the story of the time that they painted it shut. However, this is the first time that I've featured the view from the other side, so feel yourself privileged! I have a quiz question and a question question today.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 11/ weak-can-never-forgive-forgiveness…It requires no profound insight to see that many people exhibit a tendency that confuses (or conflates) the concepts of morality and faith. Obviously, as a dude who is candid and impenitent about his atheistic outlook on life – yet still endeavours to conduct himself in a professional and (more

Be lookin' good, Warriors. All the way back to Coney. Ya hear me, babies? Good. Re-e-al good. Adios.
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 11/ be-lookin-good-warriors-all-way-ba…A nice, not too obscure (but not too easy) pop culture reference in the title there to get you thinking, coupled with a relaxing little picture of the Derwent River on a fairly typical spring morning. On Monday I offered the number crunch that emerged from the question posed back in September about sexy accents and the collective linguistic skills of the readers of this blog.

Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous.
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 10/ generally-speaking-errors-in-relig…A dodgy wall of a shop that sells, well, I'll leave it up to you to guess!

Law is born from despair of human nature.
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 10/ law-is-born-from-despair-of-human.…Really, really busy today, so I am going to offer you a photo montage through the day. The urban wasteland of a car park down in Salamanca.

For children are innocent and love justice, while most of us are wicked and naturally prefer mercy.
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 10/ for-children-are-innocent-and-love…It's our old friend the Oceanic Viking again. You might remember her from this post in June (with a sufficiently obscure Norweigan proverb for a title). In a bit of a rush as usual, and have got another conference presentation tomorrow that I have yet again left far too late! Looks like I'll be winging it yet again.

Stupidity is much the same all the world over.
http://thiswillhurtme.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 10/ stupidity-is-much-same-all-world-o…Here is a dog, not to be confused with a cat. This dog can often be spotted skulking around the Salamanca waterfront each morning. I hope that it doesn’t like in one of these high rise apartments – although I suspect that it does – as life in the inner city is no life for a breed as active as the Border Collie.
