It is just this lack of connection to a concern with truth — this indifference to how things really are — that I regard as the essence of bullshit.
Harry G. Frankfurt, as quoted in Defining Bullshit, Slate.
A commonplace book: an old-fashioned literary diary for recording interesting items from reading you've done. I use mine to record snippets from reading, conversation and life in general. (The early 2003 entries are from a period some years ago -- before the blog age -- when I tried an online commonplace book as a straight web page.)
