All-New Adventures in Bloggage
So, as you can see, I’ve revamped the site a bit. It’s become increasingly obvious that I don’t have time for much actual-blogging. I do, however, spend ridiculous amounts of time on the internet. This means I do leave a significant ‘imprint’ on the web, in the form of microblogging. This is what The Lifestream [...]
Slight Return
Upgraded to wordpress 2.6.1. It’s basically a feature upgrade, but well worth it. The dashboard has become much more usable imho.

Waltz with Bashir
Not normally one for posts dedicated to movie reviews (hell, not really one to post at all nowadays), but I just got back from seeing Waltz with Bashir, and I feel like I need to let something out on the proverbial page else I explode with indigestion. First off, it’s an amazing film, go watch [...]

Back
Back from a little downtime. Hopefully content will follow soon. In the meantime I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.0.10 just a sec. fix, but yeah, whatevs. Sadly, it seems Actcom server farm will be closing down and merging with Bezeqint. This sucks on many levels, because Actcom rule, and Bezeqint are a bunch of wankers. It [...]

Personal Heroes Series: Jean Baudrillard
Jean Baudrillard (June 20, 1929 – March 6, 2007) “Today abstraction is no longer that of the map, the double, the mirror, or the concept. Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being or substance. It is the generation by models of a real without origin or reality: A hyperreal. The territory [...]
Personal Heroes Series: Robert Anton Wilson
Robert Anton Wilson aka RAW (January 18, 1932 – January 11, 2007) “Belief is the death of intelligence. As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence.”
