I’m excited to announce that another of my short stories has been published, this time in the December 2020 issue of the magazine After Dinner Conversation. My story, “And Joy shall overtake us as a flood”, is my longest fiction publication to date. It was written back in 2015, shortly before my daughter was born, … More New Story in After Dinner Conversation
Back when I wrote my article on the Sleeping Beauty problem for 1000-Word Philosophy, I had to cut a chunk of the article that dealt with Dutch Book arguments against thirders because I was running up against that hard 1,000-word limit. Unlike most scraps of my writing I have had to cut from a longer … More Dutch Book Arguments on 1000-Word Philosophy
Mind Bubble has seriously grown since the last time I shared an update on this website back in 2018; in our last semester of 2019, we broke attendance records for both our Sunday and Wednesday tutoring sessions, and our workshops in 2020 have both been so highly in demand that we’ve had to waitlist students! … More Mind Bubble in 2020
I’m pleased to announce that my short story “God-Forsaken” is anotherealm.com’s short story for August 2018. You can read the short story online for free here. It’s my longest fiction publication to date, but that was true of each of my previously published short stories as well at the time they were published. Enjoy!

A few weeks ago, after Mind Bubble’s Spring 2017 tutoring wrapped up, I turned my attention to summer workshop planning. I’d wanted to run a middle school philosophy workshop since our workshops program began, so I decided to run an epistemology workshop on 5/19 (this past weekend). The closest I’d ever come to teaching pre-college … More Mind Bubble’s Philosophy Workshop and Thoughts on Pre-College Philosophy
With less than 4 hours before 2018 begins, I thought I’d take a moment to think back (bloggishly) on the past year. Let’s get the requisite “2017 was, by and large, a year full of misery on both the national and international level” out of the way because there is some good to reflect on … More 2017 Year-End Wrap-up
November is upon us, which means that it’s time for Mind Bubble’s big annual fall fundraiser! It’s been a year since our first ever major fundraiser, which was a fantastic success, and Mind Bubble has been hard at work over the past year putting our donors’ money to good use. We now host three weekly … More Mind Bubble Fall 2017 Fundraiser
This weekend, Mind Bubble concluded its summer workshop season with “Adventures with Words”, a workshop where students played Bananagrams and used the results of their games to craft abstract poems. The workshop was run by the fantastic Theresa Davis, a local poet, and all of the students had a blast! Our other two summer workshops … More Mind Bubble Summer Workshop Season
