Life can be pretty dull sometimes.
By sneezing and eating cat food we experience the sublime.

National Geographic is profiling the Nasca Lines in this month’s issue.
The article includes a wealth of photos, geoglyph animation, and an interactive map of the Nasca plain.
The Nasca Lines are one of the most mysterious artifacts of ancient civilizations because they can only be seen from the air, exist in one of Earth’s most deadly environments, and are crammed full of UFO landing strips.
More on the Nasca Lines in the documentary “Ancient Aliens”.

Why just carry food and water into the back-country when you could carry a 500 watt portable hydro-electric generator? Thanks to Bourne Energy, now you can.

Atemporal: (adj) Independent of time; timeless.
An excellent article by science fiction author Bruce Sterling on Atemporality for the Creative Artist.
If you have a genuinely avant garde idea, something that’s really new, you should write about it or create about it as if it were being seen twenty years from now. If you want to strip away the sci-fi chrome, the sense of wonder. You want it to be antique before it hits the page or the screen. Imagine that it was twenty years gone into the future. Just approach it from that perspective.
No longer allow yourself to be hypnotized by the sense of technical novelty. Just refuse to go there. Accept that it is already passe’, and create it from that point of view. Try to make it news that stays news.
Futurity was expected, futurity is here now, there goes futurity into the past, so long futurity, thank you for an exciting, fulfilling and worthwhile time.
How can we crack atemporality with video frame-rates?
Here is a video series of Bruce Sterling dicussing atemporality and the passage of time.

Cracked has published an ingenious list of well meaning (but misguided) futuristic video game control interfaces.
Meanwhile, Canadian Jedis, using legitimate mind-machine interfacing technology, have briefly taken over the lights of the CN Tower in Toronto.
You know what they say, “If you like New York, you won’t be wholly displeased with some elements of Toronto.”
