This bit from Wired is making the rounds the past day or so and my copy came in the mail yesterday; I’ll chime in, too. Their sub-title: 33 writers. 5 designers. 6-word science fiction. Six of my favorites: Machine. Unexpectedly, I’d invented a time (Alan Moore) Longed for him. Got him. Shit. (Margaret Atwood) It […]

Walken cast as Fox; it almost works but misses. Still beats Mnemonic. SPOILER WARNING: Honestly, New Rose Hotel would have been truly great but only if Abel Ferrara had had the presence of mind to keep it as a 30-45 minute short film. Instead, he tells the story twice: first as a really effective (and […]
Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a truly remarkable book that has already taken a high place in my literary pantheon of Sheer Genius.

A couple of nice article slugs on LifeHacker about how to keep a budget and how to manage your emergency fund… B^2 plug for Dale Bailey‘s collection The Resurrection Man’s Legacy. Looks like it will be a good bunch of reading. Pink’s Wired article “What Kind of Genius Are You?” is available online. Interesting read: […]
Early Saturday a.m. post… Trimming down the links in the sidebar; feels too much like clutter. Instead, thinking of just dumping links into del.icio.us and then install one of the myriad plug-ins for WordPress to add support for them. *shrug* A. has released my inner-chucker – – especially considering the up-coming move. ALSO: Realized last night […]
43 Folders on “12 ways to better sleep” – – almost all of these are things I’d discussed with my doctor last year when I had my last really serious insomnia bout. I’m right there with him on the melatonin, too. That always helps but I’ve heard you’ll want to be cautious with your long-term […]
Via B^2, for P.: Voluptuous Panic… The Erotic World of Weimar Berlin […] Voluptuous Panic’s expanded edition includes the new illustrated chapter “Sex Magic and the Occult,” documenting German pagan cults and their bizarre erotic rituals, including instructions for entering into the “Sexual Fourth Dimension.” The deluxe hardcover edition also includes sensational accounts of hypno-erotic […]
