Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
5/18: following the moves
I don't (at all) have the motivation to become a good (or even decent) chess player, but occasionally I think it would be fun to trace the moves of famous chess matches. Today Chris found an iPad app that allows you to run through some of the most renowned games, and we spent some time going through one between McDonnell and La Bourdonnais from 1834. It was really fun, especially talking through it with Chris at each step.
