Memories + Dreams
information overload
information overload… some days I feel like I’m losing my mind. I just started this blog a week or so ago and already it feels like something I’ve bene doing for years…. which means it is a good time to sit back, think about what i’ve figured out, and speculate about where I want to [...]
Responsibility for words
In previous iterations of this site (1996-2000) the content consisted almost entirely of passages quoted from others. I was particulary fascinated by the way that speculative physical descriptions of the origins of the universe seemed to mesh with, and complement, the ancient gnostic myths about the origins of the universe.

Vehicles
This is a reminder to myself to write a post about my friend Erno, the god-soaked ex-junkie and tattoo pioneer, one of the finest people I’ve ever met and a living Boddhisvata. I’ll bang it out later after I finish writing this $%#^#&*# proposal for work.
