"Giving well is the best revenge."
  --Douglas Milburn.

Milburn's Law of Attention
It ain't the answer. It ain't even the question. What it is is 20 words, a comma, and two periods.

Let It Scroll No. 96,412
Jason Twinhaft's thought for the day. Or the century. Or the millennium.

Reverse-engineering
Militant Islam
Catherine Ozanic ponders that fact that beneath the surface of violence that fills our screens daily, there beats a quiet, more powerful Islamic heart.

3 x 3 x 50
We set our image-viewer on random and let it run through the thousands of pictures in our archive. Slideshow with midi (5:17). Definitely NOT safe for work.

A Modest Solution
The brilliantly simple Magellan's Log plan for resolving the crisis in Iraq.

Psychomanteum
Sort of. Let's just call it a meditation device and let it go at that. Slideshow with midi.

8-lane Quatrains
A nano-second aural epiphany on Interstate 10 near downtown Houston.

Publisher's Note: Against my best money-making advice, staff members persist in occasional outbursts of what they refer to as "p----y" (even they can't call it by name). I keep telling them: The path to penury is paved with p----y. Do they listen? No. All I can do is alert the unwary reader with the little death's head, which in this context means: Warning! P----y Ahead!

Tip for Would-be Paradigm Shifters
Our little winter solstice gift for those intent on changing the world as we know it.

North Dakota Wants to Know
Chardo Blue Plains, our itinerent mystic who spends a lot of time wandering the Interstate Highways, has a question.

Problems in Modern Signage
Nos. 497,512-497,575
Here we go again, rewarding the staff for countless hours wasted collecting weird images from the farther reaches of the Internet. 64 of 'em in fact.

Brave New Millennium
In which Edward Hothi explains (or at least tries to) what went wrong in the 20th century (not to mention the 19th, 18th, 17th, etc.) and what's likely to go wrong in the 21st.

Pacific Afternoon
Guest thinker Herbert Lehnert walks a Southern California beach and muses from micro to macro, and beyond.

The Invisible Worlds of Daddies
Didio Antis has been reading old Chinese texts again. His response this time? A BIG nine-liner.

Wheel of Wheels
A bit of canonical amusement for the winter solstice, etc.
