Perhaps the first, though maybe the second time I visited Amsterdam, I took a trip out of town. When I returned, much to my surprise, it was the morning of Queens Day. Now, here we are again…

bottle caps from around the world

Posted by admin on Apr 28 2003 | Uncategorized

Can’t argue with hardcore collectors like these. Strangely the only translation of GeroGero I could find says “gross me out”. Hmmm…

modular origami

Posted by admin on Apr 28 2003 | Uncategorized

Modular Origami is a little different from the run of the mill because you create different interconnecting pieces, to make one whole creation. Each individual piece is one piece of paper. Check out Georgia Davidson Studio as well as Jim Plank’s page.

sleep research + intelligence

Posted by admin on Apr 28 2003 | Uncategorized

Check out this sleep research. It reminds me that I really need some right now. But the question at hand, given the seriousness of how lack of sleep affects reflexes, and congnitive response, why aren’t their laws on the books for DWS, driving while sleepy? I’m only half serious, but interesting research nontheless.

truth, America + Science - battles over god

Posted by admin on Apr 25 2003 | Uncategorized

It’s unfortunate that Science left God in the dust all those years back. Maybe we wouldn’t be seeing news like this insanity if there were some more room. Mousetrap evolution a conspiracy of abortion + breast cancer connection which has now been clearly disproved all make for curious times ahead.

safety first kids!

Posted by admin on Apr 25 2003 | Uncategorized

The safety obsessed nation, you know, no smoking anywhere. I once heard a comedian go on about smoking and the anti-drug laws. He mentioned Sammy Davis, how he died at 65. I guess he did a lot of drinking and drugs.
