What’s Up, Doc?
Well, it’s official. I’ve defended the thesis, turned in the final copy, written the last of my term papers, and paid off all my library fines. Today I received my diploma from Temple, and I am officially a Ph.D. in Philosophy, possibly the most redundant degree ever. 🙂
There’s a lot of housecleaning to do, along with the not insignificant matter of finding a job, but I do intend to return to near-daily blogging from here on out. I just may steer clear of the heavy philosophical stuff for another few days. 🙂
About Dave Thomer
Born and raised in Philadelphia. Studied philosophy at Fordham University in the Bronx, where I made many great friends and met my wonderful wife. We moved back to Philadelphia, where I studied philosophy some more and became a teacher. Online and off, I'm looking for ways that we can be better citizens and build stronger communities.

Thanks! It feels good to be done. I honestly think it’s more a sign of sheer stubbornness than academic achievement. 🙂

I would never have pegged you as stubborn 🙂
