I am in Tokyo and it is a little past 5am. It's a little past 1pm in Los Angeles. Los Angeles -8GMT Tokyo +9GMT 5am in Tokyo is one hour brighter than 5am in Los Angeles at this time of the year. Regardless, we all more or less know what 5am and 1pm feel like, and 1pm in Tokyo can be as miserable as 1pm in Los Angeles. 5pm rush hour looks...

On Thursday, NASA held a press conference to announce that the recent TEGA experiment on board Phoenix had confirmed the presence of water in the Martian soil.

The discovery of an organizational hyper-structure whose hierarchical contour defies our normal abstracting ability - (and yet can be detected by a colossal metaabstraction reported by Plato and surnamed by him Noesis) is a matter of unparalleled importance, for this hyper-structure seems able progressively more and more to subsume its...

A while ago I began to question everything that was emerging as common ground within our/my generation. We are all special, unique, hypocrites and most importantly always right. We are the exception to every rule, powerful but helpless and insecure. The internet has created grounds for multi-faceted identity like never before and its ability...

Your average 'alternative' 'underground' 'cult' summer booklist will name conservative corkers like William Gibson, Hunter S.

Just my thoughts at the moment. I'll probable re-write this at a later date but for now here it is. My attempt at defining reality. Man shapes his own reality, every man interprets what is real to him and what isn't. Similar to how some animals can only see certain colors, or have different eye physiologies. So the world is different from each...
