Red has been praised for its nobility as the colour of life. But the true colour of life is not red. Red is the colour of violence, or of life broken open, edited, and published. Or if red is indeed the colour of life, it is so only on condition that it is not seen. [...]

Flash Bomba
This is a semi-double post, but from the treasure trove of International Superheros, this is the best. superhero. ever. From the Philippines: Flash Bomba was man who lost the use of his legs in an accident. Because of this, he trained the rest of his body to an incredible level of athletic ability and did [...]

On a less pissy note, Brazilian superheros. I’m particularly fond of O Gralha (The Magpie), “Watchman of the Araucárias.”

Labanotation
I had no idea that this even existed. Labanotation “is a standardized system for analysing and recording any human motion” used particularly in dance.

What the World Thinks of Literary Magazines
US Quarterly, as explained by the Onion: While small pointillist illustrations will accompany the pieces, the majority of the publication will be textual. Said Boorstin: “For regular Us readers who may have trouble picturing this new format, try to think of how, in a romance paperback, the words build into continuous paragraphs, and you have [...]

What I’m Good For Today
Okay, the newish Rabid Transit website is still in the process of overhaul. But it’s up. The skull and crossbones icon used to have text that said “E-piracy will fuck you up bad.” Hmm, maybe a CafePress store? In other, mindless news, check out LEGO figures of the Watchmen. This is probably both genius and [...]

Consciousness Entanglement
I’m just a poacher really when it comes to science and metaphysics, and specifically how they intersect. I came across Ben’s post about the transactional model of quantum physics. Okay, this site might be pseudoscience but upon it I found this wild quote: “When we stand in the dark and look at a star a [...]

What Can I Get for Ten Dollars?
Anything I want! Uh, so apparently by the eldritch magicks of the internet…well, that didn’t take long at all. The check’s in the mail/paypal, Jonathan! (or to your favorite charity…)

Ancient Man by Hendrik Willem Van Loon
This book (1922) has to have the most gonzo-and strangely moving-dedication I’ve ever read. The whole thing is worth reading in its entiretly: DEDICATION To HANSJE AND WILLEM. My darling boys, You are twelve and eight years old. Soon you will be grown up. You will leave home and begin your own lives. I have [...]

Darth Vader has a blog.. I wonder, is this one of these “early adopter” or “late adopter” (UNCOOL) posts? When it comes to poetry, Minnesota is pretty much North Nebraska. But I’ll try to blog about that later.

The vast, vast majority of people stumbling ‘pon my site are looking for information about ptarmigans. So here it is: The State Bird of Alaska. More of ‘em. OK, now I have some facts: 1st, don’t eat ptarmigans. They are nice and besides when did they ever hurt you? The Sea Ptarmigan was a Dutch [...]

Is there a reason Odwalla is still in business? No matter what the “flavor” of their beverages, it tastes like piss from a goat that just drank a smoothie. This is pretty much all I’m good for today.

So I was looking at Pokey the Penguin and there is a new Pokey posted! As well as the collaborative Skepto-maze!: You are in Florida Orange Juice. The only people, or things, there are Positive Bread, Negative Bread, Sketchpad, random birds, a cane, small pebbles, random plants, clouds, holes, gophers, a hadicap parking sign, a [...]

Extreme-and abject-apologies to Matt. He created a great mumpsimus cultural concurrence index and as a service to my readers I thought I’d do the same! But I was really only able to come up with 28 questions that got at the “heart” of what I consider cultural literacy. I came up with like 80 or [...]
