So it goes this way: two days ago whilst traveling, the car I was traveling in was broken into during the night. Given that we have driven for more than a 1000km and given that I carried with me stuff for the next month, you can imagine the quantity of uselessness that was carried in the car.
We woke up in the morning to find that we have less...
Just some tracks I feel exemplify this idea.
Keep in mind I may add to this.
Patrice Scott - Raw Fusion
Kelley Polar - Sea of Sine Waves
Spargo - A Go Go (Lovely Edit)
So much is hidden that is right before our eyes.
Isn't it strange that we have to imagine what it is like to be a newborn? Say you just 'arrived' today; you pretty much might accept all that is. You know little or nothing, not unlike the remainder of our lives. So you laugh and cry. You feel true love along with uncommunicable fear. Never is...
I recently saw a documentary called "Deep Water" which made me fascinated by the story of Donald Crowhurst, a man who spent an amazing amount of time in complete solitude at sea, seeing as he had no life to return to, facing economic ruin and public humiliation. All he was surrounded by was an endless amount of waves and ripples,...
The Open Mind Believer
I describe myself to myself and myself to others as an open and free mind, and quite often when asked to explain this narrative I say that I am a great believer.
It is kind of circular I know; yet to really define what is an open and free mind I must refer to this most primal of human motivations, namely...
Since 11 Sept 2001 and the creation of the DHS which followed, some people (How many? I don't know) entering the US have been subjected to a variety of humiliations. Every Internet news savvy leftist and civil libertarian is familiar with stories of unwarranted detentions, deportations, odd "security" interrogations and so...
One population becomes destructive
& the weight of necessity becomes evident.
Bottlenecks bursting at their seams—
this our lineage & history.
The poplars will bend under their perfect weight—
the weight of ten billion eons.
They look on with faces bright from attention—
resolute & randomly tittering in the blue...
A reversed-polarity sunspot was detected today, marking solar minimum and the beginning of the 24th solar cycle (since humans first recorded the undulating pattern of solar intensity nearly 400 years ago).Solar cycles appear to last on average about 11 years, taking a few years to rise and fall between the peaks and troughs of solar activity. The...

Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth
The important concept mention in the Manual which we pay no attention to is 'synergy.' Coined by Fuller, synergy means we can not understand the whole by understanding it's parts.
Earth came with lots of room for error to allow for her ignorant inhabitants to evolve. As we've...
I'd just like to quickly apologize for the high concentration of Daft Punk references on this page, for now. I just saw them live last night and am doubly obsessed, if that's even possible. I'm only human, after all.
Aside from my musical preferences though, I've been thinking quite a bit about something lately. The show was outdoors....
Note: I am unsure whether posting fiction is allowed, so if it isn't, please let me know so i can take this down.
Vengeance
Looming over the now-lifeless planet in high orbit was a massive armada composed of countless vessels, all bristling with weaponry. Shipyards and drydocks cluttered low orbit, manufacturing and refitting the last of...
Something that has continually interested me is the process of creating models that "simulate" some facet of nature. For a recent class, I created a simple model of a phenomenon that I experience nearly every day as a college student where one student begins to pack up and others follow, creating a positive-feedback loop that causes more...
