For concerned Thinkers, Magickals and Tense Folk

It’s not up to you, so don’t carry others lives on your back, unless…

Embrace Doubt. It’ll do you no wrong, provided you stay on the right side of it. And the right side alternates with the left, don’t ya know. So beware. Nobody ever profited from Obsession who wasn’t unscrupulous.

This is an especial shout out to you Magicians and Magick-makers out there. You may need it more than It needs you. There come times in the practice when it all goes quiet and we’re just going through the motions. Feel free to just stop. No need to fake it once you’ve made it. Lady shall come knocking again when time is nigh.

Know Place, know Purpose, know Practice, Remember Silence. Bide on Time, Chronos, know the apt Moments, Kairos. Keep learning, teach yourself first then never forget Others.

And be cool. 

Woooooo said the wind

I’d like to have something like this projected onto my living room wall as an continuous ambient graphic motif. 

And it’s zoomable. You can watch the wind in Albuquerque, if you fancy.

The Ocean is a braaaain!

Outre storyteller and editor of ‘FLURB!’ (the online magazine of bizarro/sci-fi short fiction), this piece was featured in an issue of NATURE, the journal of the physical sciences. Short and sweet, definitely worth ten minutes of your time.

An artifical nervous system for the landscape. Intelligent geotextiles. Hot damn!

The Israeli-based company G-Max Security makes a “buried cable intrusion detection sensor” that is “totally concealed and operates effectively under any type of surface,” from open fields and highways to mountains, snow, and ice. It acts as a “perimeter detection ring” that uses “Passive Magnetic Detection” technology—that is, a buried cable-sensor network—assuring “effective Early Warning of any perimeter intrusion attempt.”
This security geotextile is, in effect, an electromagnetic nervous system in the ground.
[…]
The most secure landscape in the world could thus someday be an open field—or friendly suburb—peppered with trees and flowers in which all of the surveillance technology is passive, omniscient, experientially invisible, and indistinguishable from the earth.
As a useful replacement for land mines and electrified fences, however, the very idea of a security geotextile brings an alarming potential for weaponization. For instance, what would stop such a system from being given the ability to electrify, stun, immobilize, or even kill a detected intruder?

Greg Pak’s VISION MACHINE is available free to download and read. and even better, an unlettered version is available to play with and remix. Great idea
