Unethical Science Once there was an experiment. A relocation experiment. The idea was carefully created. And privately funded. By various individuals. Tangentially connected. To various NGO’s. It was presented as humanitarian relief. To help find housing for the homeless. They were chosen at random. Taken […]
She Went Inside Her Brain
Look Inside My Brain I saw this TED talk a while ago about a lady who was a neurologist and then had a stroke. And she explained in full detail what it was like, how her brain slowly more or less went offline. And how even dialing the phone became something utterly confusing […]
Cult of Sacred Geometry
Taco Party I went to a friend’s retirement party a couple weeks ago. When she called to tell me about it, she made it sound like it was no big deal. Like it was a small party or something. She said show up whenever, wear whatever, bring whoever, don’t worry about brining […]

Girl At The Coffee Shop There’s this really attractive woman that I’ve been flirting with at my local coffee shop for the past couple weeks. Whenever you have a situation like this it’s always not quite sure what to do. On the one hand it’s nice to have a very friendly face that you […]
