Read my latest flash, Venison, at 52|250.

I’ll give a more detailed account of the day’s happenings later (and since I’ve been using Freemind to take notes, I won’t be all that likely to leave anything interesting out accidentally). At the moment, I’m a bit too tired (and enjoying my Shiraz a bit too much) to provide anything really well considered. (I’m also suffering from a bit of information overload, as I attended six panels today and visited the New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum during lunch.) For now, I just want to register my great irritation with the woman who chose to use the question period at the end of the first panel on religion and pop culture to respond to the presentation on apocalyptic works produce by empire with a statement about how the Book of Revelation shows that there are many opportunities to choose to give glory to God– not just one.

I’ll refrain from bemoaning the state of a nation in which even an academic conference may be infiltrated by those who believe that they have the truth and must proselytize all others. Instead, I’ll just point out that I rather wish the presenter this was addressed to had chosen not to defuse the situation.
