a gazillion alchemickal monkeys typing away and singing out songs of incantation

“teabags teabags! where have you gone? my eyeballs are getting dry!”

This article about providing support for the Developing World’s energy needs seems absolutely spot on.

Where to find new energy sources equals THE question of the 21st Cengtury, with its burgeoning “Third World” population. It should make all the capitalist monkeys happy, anyway. With no electricity, how can the Developing World even think about purchasing any neato electro-gadgets?

This article about the city of Largo, Florida’s IT department is a groovy read. What clever chaps those fellows are. More people should use the tools that suit their needs.

This article about Marxism at the Policy Review is a fascinating examination of the historical progression of Marxist ideas. Poor Marx. Who reads him anymore? But people sure do cite him a lot. He’s sort of like Nietsche that way, I suspect. Is Marx the Kevin Bacon of political theory?

Take a look at some of these:

I guess I’ve just been in a cooking mood these days. I don’t really know what’s come over me….

Sequential Tart: Grant Morrison – Punching Holes Through Time

and

Sequential Tart: Grant Morrison – Charging the Sigil

These images are utterly fascinating and groovy.

I’m still trying to imagine how they did it. I’m imagining a camera that’s all lens, but they probably just photographed it in chunks and then pasted all the bits together. It’s incredible, however they managed it.
