Far Out!

The Feminists, a circa 1971 work of pulp fiction is featured on this new sci fi site, io9. Quite funny. I love the “FAR OUT!” period detail on the book cover.

William Gibson, Flesh Scar Nymph & Placeholder

While I was reading this article about William Gibson, I was reminded of how impressed I was with him when I met him several years ago. He was quite humorous and humble.

In other news this Self-Actualized Flesh Scar Nymph found on Ectoplasmosis led to a number of disturbingly artistic future images for Zillow Book (NSFW)...


On a personal level, BM is not at the top of my priority list (I don’t even have more than one ear pierce on each ear let alone a tattoo), but when well-executed it has a certain aesthetic appeal.

Last night I had a very strange dream that still haunts me. Concerned that it might suggest something is seriously wrong with me I probably won’t share it here.

The rest of this space is reserved for further finds and musings unrelated to the current 6 Degrees of Casey Serin to William Shakespeare game.

Adding Oomph to "Organic": ...Hoping to cash in on the organic trend, all sorts of entrepreneurs, overseas farmers and conventional food companies have jumped into the business and are pushing the definitions of organic into new and questionable territory...
