Physics News is reporting that Australian scientists have proposed a method for teleportation. Right now they’re simply working with matter waves, using a technique that differs from quantum teleportation schemes in that they don’t require the sender/receiver to share entangled states. I guess they’re still miles away from teleporting animals or humans, since they’re working with atoms frozen at “about 100 billionths of a degree about absolute zero.” [story]

Whatever, it’s not going to work, anyway. They should just read the fictional story I wrote last year about the scientist who figured out how to teleport / time travel and killed all his test subjects. None of these teleportation theories account for the earth’s movement or other objects that might interact/merge with the matter that is being teleported. Although the earth moves slow, the person might reappear a few inch to the left or right of the intended location, which could lead to their being fused to a nearby object, thus resulting in death. Also, what if, while a human heart is being recombined, a dust particle finds its way into the mix? Death? I don’t know. Teleportation seems like its still a long way off for scientists, at least in my opinion. And my opinion, as we all know, matters very little.

- I’m going to be fairly busy all weekend, so I don’t know how much time I’m going to have to devote to updating this page. I’ll try to make sure an entry is published each day, but the times and contents will certainly vary. I might even decide to phone it in and simply copy/paste previously written stories (more “Adventures In Dating” stories, anyone?). Who knows! I’m winging it! It’s Improvisation! You can’t predict it!

- Hello, and keep warm. I spent this morning tweaking what will probably be the first commercially available Obscure References recording. Meanwhile, back in New Jersey, the production/packaging department is probably…uh…well, to be honest, the materials are probably sitting in someone’s bedroom gathering a fine layer of dust. At the moment, Carpal Tundra is ten tracks, 58 minutes of outsider mayhem. Of course, only six tracks actually contain “music” (we use this term rather loosely). The other four are heady sound collages, field recordings, and snippets from obscure (duh!) LPs set to tunes that weren’t good enough to stand on their own. The running order is:

01) For Robert Frost
02) Trusty Musket
03) Laser Beam Eye Frankenstein
04) Release
05) The Kingdom Pérignon
06) Break Y’Know
07) Marijuana Origami
08) Heavy Meddle
09) Knifemare
10) Soul Apache

More information will be shared as it becomes available.
