Personal Heroes Series: Charles Fort

Charles Hoy Fort (6 August 1874 – 3 May 1932) “It is not possible to define. Nothing has ever been finally found out. Because there is nothing final to find out.”

Personal Heroes Series: Timothy Leary

Timothy Francis Leary (October 22, 1920 – May 31, 1996) “The real war is between those who are turned on, and those who are uptight.” (kudos to BoingBoing) Addendum: Joi Ito: 10 years since Timothy Leary’s death.

Personal Heroes Series: Edgar Allan Poe

Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) “I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active – not more happy – nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.”

How The West Was 1.0

regurgitated from my livejournal, too busy to write new content. I don’t remember the day I first connected to the internet. Strange, as in retrospect, it was quite a landmark day, worthy of a flashbulb memory. Like I have of The Day Rabin was Assasinated. Oddly enough, I remember that when Rabin was shot, I [...]

My Own Private Literary Bias

The University book-store has been sold to Office Depot, and is now having a “going out of business” sale. The people of Israel saw the sale, that it was good, and all made way to the store. The place was jam-packed, looking like a clearance sale in Ikea on a holiday or something. Long derailed [...]

Where was I..?

Tags: meta, under-construction Oh yes. Some of you, who read the Full Head Tingle RSS feed will notice I haven’t actually disappeared, and have been posting interesting things I see to my de.licio.us, which is spliced into the feed. However, I haven’t been around much to post actual content. I’ve been so hediously busy with [...]

A bit about comics.

This week has been more than hectic, ergo, I haven’t had much time coming up with constructive and at least somewhat interesting things to write about. I tried starting a discussion over at The Engine concering webcomics and a how they could possibly become analogus to ye olde artscene, with the advent of ACT-I-VATE, a [...]

The Day The Earth Stood Still

It’s the end of the world outside, and I’m feeling along those lines inside as well. I cancelled my flight tomorrow to the UK. I no longer have a good reason to freeze my ass off. Seems Satan has a flare for the dramatics. Breakups are like funerals; They grow on you. I’d be lying [...]

What to do with this place

Well, there’s still work to be done, but I think I’ve pretty much got most of the things here settled. Now the real big question is what do I do with all this glorious space in the datafields? Funny that I even call this a ‘place’, when it plainly is not. Hmm. Something to think [...]
