Austin College, which was just rated in the top 10 for job satisfaction by the Chronicle, just hired Marjorie Hass (Muhlenberg) as their next president. Unbelievably good news. Now I just have one question: are they hiring?

Donald Hodges, FSU professor emeritus, dies at 85 | tallahassee.com | Tallahassee Democrat

He was a professor emeritus of philosophy at Florida State University, where he taught for 39 years and bullied students to think more critically about capitalism, religion and every other topic.

“Everyone needs a Donald Hodges in their life; someone who’s different than everyone else and is bright enough to make you see something different,” said Tallahassee businessman Chuck Mitchell, a former student and longtime neighbor. “He was an irascible curmudgeon. But he made you think.”

Gödel, Escher, Bach was a transformative book for me. I read it in the summer before my Sr. year in college, and it inspired my Sr. Thesis, which lead (ultimately) to my area of specialization in graduate school.  On top of that, when I was writing my Sr. Thesis back in '92, when the 'net was in its infancy, I emailed Hofsteader with a question - AND HE RESPONDED!  Man, those were the good old days before spam. Searle did to, but he was quite grumpy. Hofsteader was actually helpful and pleasant. 

Anyway, all of this is by way of saying that despite the implicit criticism he recieves from AI researchers and Logic professors, I've always respected his work.  Awards such as these:

Are well deserved.  Congratulations Dr. Hofsteader.
