Social Dynamite, 1889 style. 2008-08-18 12:17:26 Sideburns are not wicked?
This eBay auction popped up in my Google alerts today, and I found it hilarious.
It’s a book with the full title SocialDynamite
, or the Wickedness of Modern Society (ha!) By a guy named T. deWitt Talmage.
Apparently he’s an evangelical who clearly deplores the “wickedness” of” modern society” (both of [...]
Sonic surrealism against The Spectacle! 2008-08-17 02:32:03 Damn that Spectacle
.
Tonight we made vibrations with winter itch.
Vibrations so strong they apparently inspired banging on the ceiling from the “neighbor” downstairs.
Acoustic sounds mostly, mind you.
Seriously though, winter itch. Read more:Sonic

Can and will Barack Obama do it? 2008-08-15 23:58:59 When I ask can and will Obama
do it, I am referring to not only becoming the next United States president, but also following up to his most important campaign promise, to fix our environmental/energy issues.
We need DRASTIC action on these things. The climate is out of control, as we are finding out by the [...] Read more:Barack
Renewable Future and the Chevy Volt 2008-08-13 01:43:36 I’m working on this project called RenewableFuture
- since tonight I realized what do we really have but the future, and what the hell if gas just runs out. Which it could. And eventually will.
So yes, it will be on alternative/renewable energy/resources, collections of data on that and all the best current articles.
It’s just [...] Read more:Chevy
Traffic court is asinine 2008-08-12 01:19:59 So that’s why I have to go to bed “early” “tonight” (it’s 2:18 am.)
Blech!
Here’s to luck, and fighting unjust traffic tickets.
At least I have a babysitter this time.
Working on killer post ideas - more soon when I don’t have to sleep.
Depression and dependency on civilization 2008-08-10 03:01:36 I don’t know how involved I’ll be able to get here because I feel lousy and apathetic for some reason.
But some of that reason may ironically be what I want to write this post about.
Depression. Does modern civilization cause it? Is any of it in our heads? And what can be done.
It seems like the [...] Read more:dependency
Sex with former Presidential hopefuls and men who SHOULD be President 2008-08-08 22:57:51 Wow, within minutes I just read two very interesting things.
First I was amazed at this hilarious article I found at CNN about John Edwards (former U.S. President
ial.htm">Presidential
hopeful) and the extra-marital affair he had with a campaign video-maker in 2006.
That is not the funny part.
The funny part is that after it was concluded Edwards couldn’t [...]
Economeager? 2008-08-08 22:23:53 For some reason I read blogs on the market and economy, even though I don’t trade.
So what I read about recently is all the bad news, obviously, economic downturn in the markets, but then I read something else that made me think.
There are so many companies reporting amazing profits - Exxon Mobil (Geez. But for [...]
The Nuvu (a solar electric car from Nissan) and the Large Hadron Collider 2008-09-11 03:41:51 Apparently Nissan
has been working on a solar electric car - still a concept vehicle but it’s debuting soon at
an auto show and they say it’s really not far off.
Now THIS is the answer. Photovoltaic solar sometimes, and also a plug-in electric. This is THE CAR OF THE FUTURE. No gas, no hydrogen (explosive tank [...]
Human enhancement solution, but then… (computer) virus problem. 2008-09-05 00:27:56 So the other day in the post Robosexuality I explained how I was watching a show on robots/robotics that didn’t delve into possibly dangerous, human fatality-related consequences of “the Singularity” (the point when humans transcend biology).
I also mentioned wanting to get Daniel Wilson’s book How To Survive a Robot Uprising (Tips on Defending Yourself During [...] Read more:enhancement

Lies and chemicals 2008-09-01 02:31:00 Let’s talk about some chemicals
.
We are taught LIES about certain chemicals in this society (the United States) and others, and this is supposedly for “our safety”.
Governments or other organizations want to regulate YOUR BODY, and most importantly of all, they do NOT want you to use your MIND, ever.
Okay, firstly, marijuana, or cannabis DOES NOT [...]
Life is ALL PERCEPTIONS. 2008-08-31 02:31:14 Even if we humans are all “connected” in some way beyond simply being similar types of creatures, all the experiences in every one of our lives are so unique to us alone (no matter how similar another’s experience may [...]
Are organized religions the result of human imagination? 2008-08-29 00:06:19 This post may be inflammatory to some. But I suppose the goal of my writings here are to be inflammatory sometimes, to make you think, to anger up the blood. So here goes.
I just read a really interesting post (as per usual) on one of my favorite blogs, Posthuman
Blues (subscribe to that awesome feed, [...] Read more:imagination
Democrat surprises. General animosity and misanthropy otherwise. 2008-08-27 22:08:25 First, Michelle Obama’s speech.
Then Hillary’s.
Then Kerry’s words.
Now all the DNC coverage. How about Kucinich!?!?
And we can’t forget the Clinton Bill.
Oh yeah and that Biden is working his magic, as I said over at the Twitter. Read more:Democrat

There may be hope for the USA yet 2008-08-22 00:49:55 Just read a VERY hopeful article on CNN.
They claim that in a recent survey, a (slim) MAJORITY of Americans believe that religion should stay out of politics. Religion works well for some people, but as the great Doug Benson tactfully asserts, it is something to be kept IN YOUR OWN HEAD.
A lot of people (religious [...]
Robosexuality 2008-08-21 00:31:47 So last night I was watching a fascinating show on the incredible advances that are being made in the robotics field, and it got me thinking about science fiction and robot-human relations. It both amused and bothered me that they were presenting all these technologies and scenarios and not even mentioning the implications that will [...]
New Hampshire, Obama, giant douches and turd sandwiches. 2008-10-16 15:06:47 After that last post, I can promise you I am 99.9% sure that I will never post a poem again on here. It just felt a little weird. Maybe if I find a REALLY good one.
However, there is more urgent business at hand.
I just read CNN and Obama
is warning against being cocky (THANK you, [...] Read more:Hampshire

My Fellow Prisoners (a poem inspired by John McCain) 2008-10-13 00:58:17 My
fellow prisoners, it is
time to escape, and
it is
time to
re-evaluate
what keeps us
trapped in this place
We can
always
yell through the bars
and we can
see the wardens’ keys
and we

…sometimes…

what to do next
Don’t know
what to expect
Don’t know
what
it would take

the state in
which we all live

The benefits of common sense and keeping a cool head in crisis situations 2008-10-09 00:40:53 Fear. Irony! Despair. Hilarity! Disillusionment. Togetherness! Confusion. Environmentalism! Desensitization. Sustainability! Panic. Hope!
There is a lot of talk lately about collapse, hard times, depression, recession, bad economy problems, etc.
Apparently many parts of our “transparent” financial world is in the shitter. There are lots of articles being written about this, all saying
Best way to get out of mortgage? Shoot yourself (”Miss Polk… done shot herself.”) 2008-10-04 12:45:00 Well, this was right on the front of CNN.
Apparently the mortgage crisis is so bad that this 90 year old woman shot herself
… and had her debts forgiven!
I bet a lot of people are looking for their guns right now.
Don’t despair!
Maybe it’ll be ze end of ze world soon anyway for all ze nutz.

More on consciousness and reality 2008-10-01 01:55:57 The following is lightly paraphrased from Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle.
‘Many of us living in “modern” “society” experience an extreme loss of what some of us would call “reality
” – we have been replacing this experience with artificial realities, whether in the form of television, films or anything else that replaces what one perceives [...]
Shaking the bush here, boss (a brief but sweet tribute to the kickass Paul Newman.) 2008-09-27 17:56:45 So here is my tiny but heartfelt tribute
to Paul Newman, since he just passed on into the ether.
After all, Cool Hand Luke is hands-down one of my favorite movies, one I could watch over and over, any time. It’s just freaking great.
Also, his salad dressing isn’t bad, and that crunchy flakes with strawberries cereal [...] Read more:Shaking
An open letter to Whomever 2008-09-24 03:07:08 Dear whomever:
I am walking along a path that doesn’t exist.
I can only remember some things, and I have no known destination ahead of me.
Sometimes I feel intense revelations, and other times I feel nothing.
Thoughts race around my head - was I fulfilled before? Am I fulfilled now? Or are the feelings of now merely covered [...] Read more:open letter
Recessions. Fire sales. Sanity. Politicians. Nowtopias. The future. Cars. Terrorists. Pundits. 2008-09-21 00:46:01 Where to start today. I just read through a bunch of things and I’m coming across more and more things of note.
Let’s do it alphabetically from the different online sources I read.
First, a kind of doomy financial thing from one of my favorites, Blogging the Singularity, about something I actually mentioned recently, “fire sales” and [...] Read more:Sanity

Wow, it looks like Obama won! …now what? 2008-11-05 00:51:21 Historic news, as everyone knows (CNN really has some of the best coverage).
I’d like to give kudos to John McCain for his statements, sentiments and concession, thankfully without the immediate bitching and whining some presidential candidates have maintained in the recent past.
For me, that was the expectation.
I just hope nothing BAD becomes of this great [...] Read more:Obama
28 year old man from Manchester, New Hampshire votes for first time in life 2008-11-04 01:49:05 Uh, that man would be me.
Never voted before yesterday (I did an absentee ballot) and had never even THOUGHT about registering, maybe because I couldn’t even really STAND the thought of some of these men ruling the country at all.
NONE of them impressed me, perhaps.
I had previously discussed SOME of my reasoning (that’s right, girl [...] Read more:Hampshire
