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.

CU-SeeMe &
Hormone
Heaven
There's more to the Internet than e-mail, ebay bidders, daytraders, and amazon shoppers. Magellan's Log tiptoes into the cyber-demi-monde.

Arrgg!! Once again, we turn away from the elevated, enlightening, insightful, clever discourse we at Magellan's Log prefer and serve up yet another collection of really disgusting, offensive jokes, the best of the worst of the Internet.

OPTICAL
ALLUSION
What you see is what you get, but what if you're not seeing quite right. A quick tour (with audio supplements) of the pitfalls of two-dimensional perception and (by implication) other vagaries of the old human condition.

So Weird About Little Jimmy

Chardo Blue Plains unleashes his trans-Asiatic imagination in a story that seems almost not to be there.

Some people look at cars and see, well, cars. Pedkop Bumbera looks at cars and sees crystal balls. The future is coming, and it's strangely quiet. [A year later, Bumbera had these additional prophecies.]

MICROSOFT:
Our thousandfold tribute
Everybody's picking on Microsoft, from customers who don't appreciate the programming finesse behind hourly system crashes to governments who don't appreciate total market control. WE take our hats (and other items) off to the Royalty of Redmond.

Beyond twitch-em-ups, there are computer simulation games that require some thought and some skill. Herewith, a few recorded rounds of the best computer golf game.

Once upon a time, maybe only 0.0001% of humanity had the time, the money, and the medium to be passionately creative. The Internet is changing that tiny percentage by many orders of magnitude.

Ahoy, the hunt is on!
Seek, and ye shall find. Maybe. Remember: maps, portals, ley lines, rainbows, stargates, time vortices (visible and invisible) are everywhere, some links perhaps hidden on this very page. Buried Treasure

No IPO? No advertising? How do we do it? We sometimes wonder too. Quality tells (or so we hope). For now, check our gift shop for Magellan's Log mementos.

Word's bound to get out to certain politicians about cyber-psychedelica. Next thing you know, this stuff'll be illegal. Meanwhile, here's our selection of the best eye candy. Note: Do not allow children to view these pages unattended; they may start having fun.

Boomers Meet
the Grim Reaper
Michelle Furr ferrets out a hidden reason behind the long bull market... and why it may continue.

Think you're pretty hip, huh? Culture ain't what it used to be and covers a lot more territory now. Match culture wits with our quizmaster, who is only the least bit sadistic. No. 774.

Trickle-down Parenting Revisited:
The average American parents spends 8 hours a week shopping and 40 minutes a week playing with their children.

CRAZY
QUOTES
Truth is generally where you least expect to find it, on an apple tree in Eden of all places, or even in the nooks and crannies of the Internet. Here are some gems we've found and worked up in puzzle form.
