Dude, iamsojelin, you actually made it through the first 7 min of this thing?

OK, Do NOT follow these links if you are easily offended. Or creeped out. Sometimes the weirdness of the internet boggles my mind. There are two links here that actually make up the totality of this "performance." One is the comment trail, which is hilarious: Comments And the second is the actual Video clip they are talking about. I recommend reading some of the comments first, if you are foolhardy enough to actually click on links in my blog anyway. The Video Skip forward to about the 7:00 minute marker and watch it for 60 seconds, if you dare. To get in the proper mind set, perhaps you should listen to this first:

What We Don't Know

A cool list. 42 of the biggest questions in Science . Some of my favorites: Why do Placebos work? Is the Universe made of Information? How do entangled particles communicate?

The Burrito of Doom

Image
After much trial and error, through gastronomical mishaps, skirmish lines of palatability and the unexplored regions of indelicacies beyond human imagination, I have stumbled across this rare specimen. A burrito of such impeccable pedigree that not only satisfies the appetite, sometimes for days, but also stands apart from others of its namesake in a saintly glow of exceptional nutritional, medicinal and beneficial effects. Not to mention it's scrumptious. It requires only about 5 minutes to prepare the basic mix for about 6 burritos. Click on the picture for a more detailed visual, but essentially you need these 6 things: Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas. 96% Fat Free. Uncle Ben's Ready Rice. Whole Grain Brown. Microwaveable in 90 seconds. Black Beans Sargento's Reduced Fat 4 Cheese Mexican shredded cheese Chicken Breast Salsa or Green Chili Nuke the rice for 90 seconds, then mix in the beans and chicken. Nuke again for about 60 seconds, then spoon out some on top of a couple o...

Dresden Files

Watched the pilot last night. Our clan are all pretty much Dresden fans, having read all his books . It's always a bit iffy when they introduce a movie or series based on books, there's no way they can capture the nuances of imagination that readers have built in their own minds. That said, however, I think they did a pretty good job. Just the right flare with the screen play, doing things screen play does well but which is difficult to orchestrate in text. They didn't really start at the beginning, but at least they didn't butcher the context the way they did with Firefly. They also took a few tangents from the book. Murphy has a kid, from a previous marriage. A little discrepancy about Harry's uncle; in the flashback they held to the book line about him killing his uncle in self defense, but then it seems like he was still implicated as orchestrating the events with the skinwalker. Harry was ok as Harry, that was my biggest concern. Think they could have done a ...

Entering Strange Territory

Image
Our brains respond to sounds, specifically certain frequencies, in a way that opens some strange doors; last night I stumbled through one. I have several commercial CDs and tracks that explore this phenomenon with varying degrees of success; heck, even made some myself. The last few nights I've been busy in the batcave exploring a new direction. I was impressed by an older CD in my collection, which at a specific point, seems to catch the consciousness and spin it towards the netherworlds. Deciding to take a closer look, I broke down the segment at that point on the CD and ran it through my virtual lab apparati to isolate the effect. I rotated the spectral display of the sample like some iridescent bug under a powerful microscope until I had sifted down to the exact wavelength. And an interesting wavelength it was. Going back through years of notes, eeg research and personal experiments on various entrainment frequencies, I found the section dealing with this particular one under t...
