This body has responded quite well under my new regimen. I feel healthy and upbeat. My sleep pattern has also improved. Unfortunately, I sporadically fall into old habits, and my routine is compromised. This leads to fallout, like insomnia and sickness. Luckily for you, my renowned and brilliant mind has the capacity to turn sleeplessness [...]

Life never ceases to put me in contact with strange folk. It’s times like these I’m glad Olympus America Inc. invented the microcassette recorder thirty-seven years ago. Unfortunately, my preferred tool for documenting the spoken word tends to be inferior when it comes to clearly storing audio to magnetic tape. Even with the implementation of [...]

There was a lot of booze flowing, Dan and Mark showed up with a near-empty twelve case and a bottle of Jagermeister. The music was actually uncomfortably loud for the first time I [...]

As I made my early-afternoon rounds today I came across this interesting New Scientist article, where seventy brilliant minds predict possible breakthroughs in the next fifty years. They theorize about finding intelligent life, manipulating human minds, living twice as long, artificial intelligence…pretty much all the unfathomable liberties normally taken by Sci-Fi movies poorly depicting “the [...]
