Yet from +thermodynamics we know (or we think we know) that by the arrow of +entropy nature tends to fall into a general state of disorder. This is +the zeroth tar pit. + +The first, second, third and so on up to the nth are most of the things, +beasts, people and phenomena surrounding us, from the actual sticky +thing to more metaphorical notions such as Kafka's perfect bureaucracy, +or just the fat lady standing in front of you at the queue in the post +office. + +In the same category lies a tar pit uniquely attributable to man, that +creature more widely (although more and more narrowly) known as ζῷον +πολιτικόν. It, like the Boltzmann constant itself, is also difficult to +grasp, but you might know it as that feeling which (naturally!) keeps +you from aspiring to become *more* human. It is laziness; it is +stagnation; it is tiredness, and it is ultimately death. + +This blog, my, Lucian Mogoșanu's blog, describes its author's struggle +through his own personal tar pit, as well as accounts and critiques of +some of his times'. I hope I will have at least captured some of the +more interesting ones, much to the amusement of future alien +anthropologists. + +The Tar Pit is an ever incomplete and thus necessarily flawed +publication. After all, tar pits might not even be enumerable. + +(Note: the previous [about page][about] was left online for historical +reasons.) + +[about]: about.html diff --git a/site.hs b/site.hs index e535ab4..1a32a4f 100644 --- a/site.hs +++ b/site.hs @@ -7,8 +7,9 @@ import Hakyll.Core.Configuration -- wrapping it up main :: IO () main = hakyllWith tarpitConfiguration $ do - let pages = ["about.markdown", "contact.markdown", - "404.markdown", "403.markdown"] + let pages = ["about.markdown", "about-2.markdown", + "contact.markdown", "404.markdown", + "403.markdown"] -- tags tags <- buildTags "posts/**" $ fromCapture "tags/*.html" -- 1.7.10.4
