"Giving well is the best revenge."

cc: God?
Recently escaping from the shackles of our near-prehistoric computers and joining the world of the really-fast, we took another look at the well-known mp3 player, WinAmp, and its congruent visualizations. You can read John Mimbres's breathless report here.

Here we go again, trying to be really, really positive in a time of chaotic negativity. 32 possibly helpful quotations from the last 3,000 or so years of alleged civilization.

Pray for the dead, and work like hell for the living.
           --Mother Jones (1837-1933)

Kindergartens
I Have Known
Chardo Blue Plains, itinerant metaphysician, re-appears from his incessant wanderings on and off the Interstates.

On Leadership
See Doc Cuddy squirm! He tries hard to be civil and rational about the quality of present American "leadership." The unpleasant sound you hear is him grinding his teeth as he homes in on the problem.

NCM & the Roots
of Consciousness
Our guy in Hong Kong suggest a really, really old technique, which he calls Nature-Centered Meditation, as a bit of self-applied first aid.

One Path? Many Paths?
Multi-colored gradients plus the Vivaldi Concerto in C for piccolo. What more could you ask of your computer?

Magellan's Log Books & CDs
"Giving well is the best revenge."
Gifts for yourself, and for any of your friends who are still awake and thinking. All drawn from the sometimes boistrous, sometimes beautiful pages of Magellan's Log. Click here for more info about, among other things, the funniest book of the 21st century (so far).

More Bumperstickers
Once again we've spent hours slaving over a hot Internet, seeking out a few shards of alleged humor. Ten shards, actually. You can decide just how funny the world is these days.

NASDAQ, George W. Bush,
and the World Trade Center
Rean Rhyne applies his acute analytical skills to the current troubles and comes up with an incisive commentary.

Los Angeles is a different city with every car you drive.
                 --Stephen Drucker.

Welcome Back, History!
History? Come on. History was that awful stuff the boomers' parents did. We endlessly affluent wired ones are beyond history, good neocapitalists all, worried about proper things, not bad old human greed and violence... Or so we, in the comfort of our cocoons, thought.

A Very Brief Essay on the Origin
of Anthropomorphic Deities
Reppy Duart, our house (go preserve us) theologian, ventures into territory where, if he's right, he's out of a job.

The Visitation
Pond, flowers, light, and the Bach Keyboard Partita No. 1 in B-flat.

Bricks

R I F T
"Indeed the idols I have loved so long / Have done my credit in this world much wrong..." The Poet still speaks.
