My new tumblelog has arrived at http://minorjive.net (feed).
A while ago I decided to set up another Wordpress blog as a tumblelog, to keep clippings of web content that I come across on the web. I didn’t like the limited functionality of the popular hosted Tumblr service, so I thought it would be better to have […]
I’ve put the tumblelog into maintenance mode while I am making some changes to it. Among other things I’m messing around with Twitter integration. If you’ve subscribed to the RSS feed, you’ll see my tests. Sorry about that.
UPDATE 10/8: Hungry Tumblin is back online. I’m still working out a few of the details (getting categories […]

What’s a tumblelog? People often cite kottke’s early definition (early as in 2005), in which he says:
A tumblelog is a quick and dirty stream of consciousness … with minimal commentary, little cross-blog chatter, the barest whiff of a finished published work, almost pure editing … really just a way to quickly publish the “stuff” […]
Things may look funky for a bit. We’ll be back to normal soon.
UPDATE 7/26:
Things are pretty much back to normal. Deal was that I upgraded my Wordpress theme from the original veryplaintxt install to the developer’s latest version. I had put off upgrades for a long time because I had made a bunch of […]

I made a bad decision when I used the phrase “Voodoo Scientists” in the title of my post on Katherine Eban’s latest article. I was picking up on a quote from Michael Rolince, section chief of the F.B.I.’s International Terrorism Operations, who said that US torture tactics are based on “voodoo science.”
Voodoo as an adjective […]
Someone on a computer at the Georgia Board of Regents/Dept. of Education spent about 15 minutes on this site and left a “white power” comment on this post, which I am holding in moderation. I hope the commenter does not actually work for the Georgia Board of Regents, since the agency probably does not want […]
My apologies to the several of you who posted comments this afternoon. Gmail’s spam filter does not seem to like the automated email notifications my blogging software sends me when I have new comments. Your comments are now all live on this site.
If you have never commented on Hungry Blues before, your comments are held […]

UPDATE: Upgrade to Wordpress 2.2 is now complete. Everything seems to have gone okay. If blog functions seem broken or things seem to be working strangely, please let me know.

David Ridgen is a documentary film maker for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. I’ve mentioned him before in passing because he has been making a documentary film about the Henry Dee and Charles Moore murders case, called Mississippi Cold Case.
David Ridgen also sometimes contributes to written CBC news articles. David Ridgen wrote to me recently to […]
I always feel guilty when I don’t blog for more than a week or two, and now I’ve just learned that one of my favorite state legislators has put Hungry Blues on a list of blogs that her staffers are supposed to follow. What an honor, but now I feel even a little more guilty…
Anyway, […]

A couple of months ago I had my first exposure to Mark Mulcahy’s music. The venue was PA’s Lounge a little room that is adjunct to a little bar in Union Square in Somerville, MA.
Mulcahy is famous to some for his work in his old band Miracle Legion. I’d never heard any of his stuf […]
The website that I’ve been developing for work, and which I’ve been working on very intensely for the last couple of weeks, is now live.
The site is for the 2006 Physicians for Human Rights National Student Conference:
Defending Dignity: The Power of Health Professionals as Human Rights Advocates
The conference is on Saturday, November 4, in Boston, […]

I just discovered that in her recent publication in the Harvard Journal of African American Public Policy Melanie Campbell cited my article on voting rights for New Orleans evacuees.
Benjamin Greenberg reported in his In These Times article on 17 November 2005, that there are roughly 219,000 New Orleans evacuees who are voting age [over […]
