You Dirty Body Thetans!

Xenu, ruler of the “Galactic Confederacy”
Don’t forget to watch this episode of South Park(and tell all your friends) that Tom Cruise has had removed from American television. It’s still available on the internet:

Quotes of the Day

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

I saw this list of quotes, and thought i would share a couple…
“War, at first, is the hope that one will be better off; next, the expectation that the other fellow will be worse off; then, the satisfaction that he isn’t any better off; and, finally, the surprise at everyone’s being worse off.”– Karl Kraus, [...]

Living in a Nuclear Age - Islands For Sale

Friday, February 3rd, 2006

This has always been a dream of mine. To buy my own island. Of course, you’d have to be so stinking rich that you could buy your own supply ship to bring all the comforts of home to you. But hey! Tonga islands are going cheap for $28k - $41k.
This points to one of my [...]

$%^&* Nonsense

Sunday, January 29th, 2006

<nonsense>
Well, this might be a slightly odd sounding entry but… I was just thinking….
My perception of the future(technology and design in relation to generational time frames(can I say something like that and have it make sense?)) has always been that things evolve over long periods(in relation to a human lifetime) and it takes a good [...]

Girls are Both Home!

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

Our Twins are together!After 20 long days in the NICU, Aurelia has come home to join her sister, Farren. We couldn’t be more pleased! If i can recover from the shock and sleep deprivation, I will try to put these feelings into words. But the picture says it all.
Welcome Home.

Twins Arrive!

Just wanted to finally record the births of Farren and Aurelia in the GD archives:
Something magical has happened.

Republicans Practice “Social Darwinism”

Monday, December 12th, 2005

This headline makes Obama sound like a blowhard for a second but if you’ll read the whole article he makes perfect sense. & it’s true, imho: it’s a vital piece of their philosophy that every ounce of their political efforts go towards obfuscating:

Sanpo-topia

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

I’ve always thought it would be possible to make Manhattan (somewhat)car free. At least a few of the avenues and some of the main streets. Even some cordoned sections would be a sensible possibility. I’m not going to get into it but I can think of many ways it could work if there weren’t so [...]

Fundamentalism Hampering Global Efforts To Tackle Climate Change

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

Britain’s ‘top scientist’, Lord May of Oxford:
“There are serious problems that derive from the realities of the external world: climate change, loss of biological diversity, new and re-emerging diseases, and more.
“Many of these threats are not yet immediate, yet their non-linear character is such that we need to be acting today.
“And we have no evolutionary [...]

The answer to this is very simple. It was a joke. It had to be a number, anordinary, smallish number, and I chose that one. Binary representations,base thirteen, Tibetan monks [...]

Bush Continues To Suck

Friday, October 14th, 2005

I’m still awe struck that someone could be allowed to be the most powerful person in the world after a jaw droppingly inept performance like Bush’s in the debates last election. It was unbelievable. You know what I’m talkin’ about. How is he the president after that crap?

Has It Come To This?

Tuesday, October 11th, 2005

Yes. LOL:
After ten minutes of sweaty, dedicated work you get a 2-minute break to do whatever you want—drink coffee, read 5ives, call your bookie, whatever. When the two minutes are up, it’s back to work on the next task on your list. This is important.
********************************************
Do NOT skip breaks! You are not allowed. Breaks cannot be [...]

Kevin’s Bacon

Thursday, October 6th, 2005

I ripped this from www.freewilliamsburg.com:
So we were listening to Howard Stern this morning — yes we admit it, we like him — when guest, Kevin Bacon, began to plug his new movie, Where the Truth Lies. Turns out the MPAA thought it was too sexy for an R rating, so they assigned it a much-maligned [...]

Argh!

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

You know what I hate more than anything in the universe? More than George Bush, Teledildonics and Buffy the Vampire Slayer? I hate when my beer foams up when I open it. Just when you’re about to sit down to relax it does this. Then you have to get back up and run around and [...]

The Multiple Self

Friday, September 9th, 2005

dirtSimple.org: The Multiple Self
“You” are not “yourself” today.
For that matter, you were not yourself yesterday, and you will not be tomorrow. You never have been, and never will be, because “you” and “yourself” are distinct neural subsystems which do not overlap.
Shamelessly ripped off from: 43 folders

Live for 5000 years?

Thursday, September 8th, 2005

I read this article in MIT Tech Review a few months ago: and it really caught my attention. This scientist is attacking the (self identified) 7 problems of aging, and claims that if he can beat it, then we could very well live to be 5000. He’s putting money where is mouth is, and [...]
