Beach Magic I went down to the beach a couple weeks ago. There was a guy sitting there, staring out at the ocean, playing a Ukulele. He stopped right when I looked at him, and told me he could control people’s behaviors with his music. Music Teacher https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Mar31Loop.mp4 There was a music […]
Music Algorithm
Loves To Code I have a friend who is a programmer, and he makes a lot of money doing it. Even though he loves programming, he also loves music. One of his hobbies recently has been creating an algorithm to create pop music that won’t be discernable from human written music. Linguistic […]
Open Your Unconscious
Improv A while ago I took an improv class on the recommendation of my then acting teacher. I had no idea what to expect, but it turned out to be a class on how to open your subconscious communication. Most of the exercises were non verbal, so you can learn to use your […]
Metaphysical Trigonometry
All In One Disaster A long time ago I bought an all in one printer. At the time, I thought it was pretty cool, even though I didn’t need a scanner or a fax machine. This was a long time ago, and it was one of the cheapest I could find. Heart […]

Holographic Disaster
Educational Documentary I saw this documentary about how messed up the school systems are, and as an example, they used this algebra teacher that was trying his hardest to get fired. If he got fired, he’d get his full salary and benefits but if he quit, he wouldn’t get squat. So he decided […]
Unintended Mind Control
Hobby Shop I found this used electronic shop downtown. They had a bunch of old kits, and what looked like some homemade gadgets that didn’t seem to have any indication what this was. I asked the guy behind the counter, and he didn’t know what this was either. His dad had opened […]
They’re In Your Brain
Angry Genius There was this really intelligent engineer that absolutely hated his job. He didn’t hate his job directly, he hated his job indirectly. He was and had been really good at his job for fifteen years. But during that time he neglected his wife and family, she had an affair, divorced and […]
Parasite Carnivore Forest
Moths To A Flame When moths fly around a light, over and over and over, it’s kind of funny but it also doesn’t make sense. From an evolutionary standpoint, it doesn’t seem to be a very effective instinct to go straight toward the light. That trait would seem to have been eliminated from […]
