How to know how to be perfect



If you are reading this you are probably not very successful or happy. Just a guess. Lucky for you there is a way you can change. All you need to do is put all your negativism and cynicism aside and do what this site tells you. Trust me, it's that easy. And if you don't manage to change, remember, it's your own fault. Now go get 'em.

Vital Gore

Gore Vidal is a writer and political commentator. He is both well informed and cynical, a combination of qualities I can appreciate. Here is an interview with Alex Jones. It seems they cornered Vidal in some alley, which I guess is supposed to give the whole thing some underground feel. Quite weird actually.








I know, it's more of the same old 'the world sucks and this is why'-crap. I also get tired of it. Next post will feature some mindless entertainment again. But I must say that the more people I can find who agree with me, the better I feel. And isn't that what life is all about?

Puppets

The Muppets, by Jim Henson are pretty cool. Of course we were brand-fed with it by propagandistic child-indoctrinator Sesame Street (or Sesamstraat if you live near me). That pinballmachine producing some number still haunts me to this day, as do the various news episodes of Kermit the Frog (or Kermit de kikker). And lets not forget Bert & Ernie, they are in my head forever too, talking about glasses of water. Jim Henson is personally responsible for all of this. All the puppets I have seen in my life were either handcrafted by mr Henson, or at least operated by him. For this reason I am still quite confused about things like the muppet show. So praise be upon him, and by him I mean that Henson guy.

My biggest achievement yet


I always dreamed of being original. Of thinking up something which doesn't already exist. But even this post is not original. It is very hard to think of something good which is not already all over the web. Now some time ago I thought of a word. I think its a very good word, and initially I used it as a searchterm for something I was looking for. But there were no matches. The word didn't exist. But it just seemed so unlikely and counterintuitive. The word is obviously useful, but apparently not every likely thing ends up being used even in such a redundant system as the world (or at least what google catches of it (and equating this with the world is another matter for which I must seek professional help)). Enough about me... judge for yourself.

The word.

Neotenic Weapons



Even as they say a cute tooth has rational roots, scientists admit they are just beginning to map its subtleties and source. New studies suggest that cute images stimulate the same pleasure centers of the brain aroused by sex, a good meal or psychoactive drugs like cocaine, which could explain why everybody in the panda house wore a big grin.
Referencing this article.

Let me just hook you up with some primo-quality QTness.

Ok, first time is free, the next nose close to eyes is gonna cost you!

Wikiality




The Wikipedia is a fabulous phenomenon. Just a basic call: Write down what you know, and how you know it. The consequences are people improving on each other, and a huge amount of knowledge which is open source. Just so you know, I think its great. It certainly has its disadvantages, but I so much enjoy to clicketyclick through it, finding lists and references and weird facts and things.

Here is Colbert on Wikiality (on onegoodmove.org) Here is the actual wikiality site.

A wikipedia spoof.

Some lectures about wikis and Wikipedia.

Wiki Faqs

Where rejected wikipedia-articles go to die.

A category of unusual articles.

A Wiki blog (basically an extended version of this post)

And of course a list of all wikipedia articles lacking sources. Just to remind you: Help Wikipedia! Become a legitimate source!
