No, that’s not a new band, but what great name! Actually, the real thing is right here. Only the wrapper for a Soviet condom would have a picture of a factory on it (and I’ll bet you thought I made this up).

Whoa!
Not advocating anything in particular here, just pointing out that a good truth is hard to find. Under the headline “Marijuana May Fight Lung Tumors,” CBS News goes on to say: Cannabis may be bad for the lungs, but the active ingredient in marijuana may help combat lung cancer, new research suggests. In lab and [...]

We’ve been lying to ourselves for thousands of years. So much damage, hideous and very real, inflicted by our thoughts. Thinking has its uses, as in: do this, and you’re in trouble, or do that, and brighten a life. But the other effects are far more deadly, a background buzz saw of separation and dismemberment. [...]

I just saw an ad for a “Christian Internet Filter” so I clicked on it right away. Unfortunately, it doesn’t do what I thought it would (hint: transpose the first two words). But I read the blurb, and get this: you can’t uninstall it! Now there is a product worthy of the New America, har. [...]

Picked up a very interesting book the other day and read how to negate time. Yes, grasshopper, how to negate time. Can’t recall the precise language, but it goes something like this; “When you look upon doing what you do or being where you are as your main purpose in life, you negate time.” This [...]

I noted a couple of weeks ago that honeybees are dying all over the U.S., and now Der Spiegel reports that bees are dying in massive numbers (up to 80%) in Germany. The possible culprit? Genetically-modified crops! A mysterious decimation of bee [...]

Oh, I’ll get into trouble for this one. Watch out for your toes, ’cause I’m a-steppin… THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is the new residence of a couple I know only very casually, but I do know them. And unless I’m really off the mark, they’re both in their late ’20s. Somewhere in the southeastern U.S. [...]

Okay: this is a video I was asked to whip up for showing at a party I couldn’t attend, a sort of coming-out affair for the newly reborn Macinstruct site in Albuquerque. (The party, not the site!) There’s something about standing in front of a camera or a class that brings out my inner Johnny [...]

Well, the old guy’s gone now. Safe travels, brother. It was back in January when we packed the landlord off to the hospital in awful shape. On that particular day, I felt a mighty current flowing somewhere close, like an invisible Niagara Falls I could almost touch, stick my arm out and get pulled in… [...]
