<h2><a name="sec22" id="sec22"></a>
+Friedrich Nietzsche</h2>
+
+<p class="first">A bit acerbic and esoteric, Nietzsche is for me a good <em>secular</em>
+counterpart to Kierkegaard's theistic philosophy. Nietzsche's
+polemical works raise important questions for anyone who reads works
+on ethics. As such it is a shame that he has gotten a bad reputation
+by being read by far too many angsty teenagers who see (and relay)
+only Nietzsche the asshole rather than Nietzsche the master of the
+polemic.</p>
+
+<h3><a name="sec23" id="sec23"></a>
+Beyond Good and Evil</h3>
+
+<p><em>Rating:</em> <span class="rating-good">••••••••</span><span class="rating-bad">••</span> (8) / <em>Nonfiction</em></p>
+
+<p>A somewhat more comprehensible, if a bit less aesthetically
+pleasing, presentation of much of the philosophy found in <em>Thus Spoke
+Zarathustra</em>. The final chapters are very important (not to detract
+from the value of the rest of the work) if one wishes to understand
+<em>On the Genealogy of Morals</em>.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="sec24" id="sec24"></a>
+On the Geneaology of Morals</h3>
+
+<p><em>Rating:</em> <span class="rating-good">•••••••••</span><span class="rating-bad">•</span> (9) / <em>Nonfiction</em></p>
+
+<p><em>On the Geneaology of Morals</em> is a wonderful book of three
+polemical essays on the origin of moral/ethic valuations, and the
+blindness of modern philosphers whose very thinking is tainted by
+these valuations unknowingly.</p>

-Journal</h2>
-
-<p class="first">I keep a <a href="http://journal.unknownlamer.org/">journal</a> which is where I tend to send ideas out into the
-Ether before reformulating them into coherent essays for the site
-sitting before you, occasionally interspersed with commentary on my
-mundane daily existence.</p>
-
-<p><a href="http://unknownlamer.org/index.1999_2006.html">The Old Site</a> is still available. Links to pages there will remain
-stable indefinitely so as to not break the Holy Command of Our Sovran
-Hypertextia.</p>

-<h2><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
-About Me / Contact</h2>
-
-<p class="first">I am a mild mannered hacker and metalhead.</p>

-<p>I welcome criticism and suggestions to improve anything I have
-written here.</p>

-Résumé</h3>
-
-<p class="first">I am a programmer by trade, and as such have a (potentially) fancy
-<a href="files/resume.pdf">Résumé</a>. I am quite familiar with <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/ucw/">UnCommon Web</a> and Common Lisp in
-general. This, naturally, makes me unemployable.</p>

-</table>

-
-<h3><a name="sec9" id="sec9"></a>
-Site Software</h3>
-
-<p class="first">I use <a href="http://www.mwolson.org/projects/MuseMode.html">muse-mode</a> to author the site because <a href="http://emacswiki.org">Emacs</a> is all powerful, and
-the closest approximation to a good user interface available on any
-modern computer system. Muse allows me to simply write with very low
-overhead (I spend most of my time in Emacs, and having hyperlinks and
-a reasonable preview in the file buffer is quite useful). The file
-format is quite hairy, but luckily the code is Free Software and, if
-needed, I could easily write a publishing backend that transcoded my
-site to an easier to parse format. There are advantages to being a
-programmer.</p>
-
-<p>I use darcs to push updates to the site and manage my muse files. As
-such there is a handy <a href="http://unknownlamer.org/darcsweb/browse?r=unknownlamer.org;a=rss">updates feed</a> courtesy of darcsweb.</p>
