Into the Void
Back off, man, I'm co-creating my reality.

One Laptop Per Child
http://www.laptop.org/ It’s here, the ideal gift for early adopters. We’ve been hearing about the $100 Laptop for months now. It seemed like a pipe dream. A laptop for children in third world countries? It would have to be an engineering marvel. The kids often live in houses with dirt floors. They often don’t have electricity. […]
An Introduction to Evolution
I have to give a speech on evolution…help? – Yahoo! Answers My nephew would tell you that a shark doesn’t turn into a chair. Darwin and Wallace were the first guys to write about evolution. Darwin got his ideas while traveling around the world and seeing all kinds of animals. The ship was called the […]
What Was the Cold War?
In WWII the Germans ran into Russia killing everyone they found. They destroyed entire villages, an entire way of life. In some parts of Russia one in four people died. Every family was affected.

Of course there were social forces at work, but in the end the Evils that occurred during that time frame were the final chapter in the Church’s 600-year war on Serpent Knowledge. She had been completely blinded to […]
Soul Killer
Of course the soul is energy. The body – the vessel we live in – runs on electrochemical reactions that have EM fields around them just like any other electrical conductor does. Halo, aura, nimbus. “The Egyptians recognized many degrees of immortality. The Ren and the Sekem and the Khu are relatively immortal, but still […]
Geotagging
I signed up with a site called Outside.in a few months ago and they turned me down because I don’t have enough geotag info in my blog, i.e. I write about ideas rather than local coverage. I guess they figured out that nobody interesting is going to geotag every post. Now Outside.in has changed things […]
