Day At The Library The other day I had a few hours to kill so I wandered down to my local library. I grabbed a random book off the shelf and sat next to the window, which had a nice view of a small lake and some ducks. The book turned out to […]
Dystopian Drone Army
Rise Of The Drones Commercially available drones are pretty cool, and have some interesting applications. Primarily, they allow people to take some interesting vacation pictures, by using drones with pre-planned flight paths to circle around and take a quick ten second video.

Cannibal Evolutionary Cycles
Looping Sounds There’s an auditory illusion called a Shepard tone, that sounds like it is continuously rising. But at the same time, it always ends up back where it started.

Sex God Consciousness
Random Telepathy Most people have had at least a few experience of paranormal communication. You know it is when your phone rungs, you suspect something is about to happen before it happens.

Multiple Consciousness Singularity
Acting Poker Players One interesting paradox, that isn’t really a paradox when you dive a little bit beneath the surface, is celebrity poker tournaments.

Separation Anxiety
Backpacking Trip I was backpacking with friend once and I had a particularly frightening experience. We’d been planning this trip, a five day loop in the sierras, for a few months. Part of it involved taking a shortcut that was suggested in the guide. Shortcuts Never Work Out https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Nov30Loop.mp4 We got halfway […]
