Staff Biographies

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

Thanatotic Bloopers
Elinor Hoefs lets fly at what she calls the deathbook industry. Not stuff for the faint of heart nor the myopic of faith.

Linear thought produces all manner of delusional eschatologies, from religion to the Big Bang to thermodynamics to musics.

The One-percent Dissolution
Glenn Gould, George W. Bush and Me
Yes, for the first time in history the words "Glenn Gould" and "George W. Bush" appear together. Editor Doc Cuddy has pulled off this little trick here.

Viewed soberly, we, homo sapiens, the whole species, all of us, are scenery-chewers, drama queens par excellence, from the turgid to the perfervid.

Grand Obsession/
Grand Possession
Buy a piano and the next thing you know, it takes over your life. A review of Perri Knize's unique, inspiring Grand Obsession.

The only mistake more destructive than mistaking night for day is mistaking day for night.

Folly Folly
While you do whatever you do, the Magellan's Log staff daily slaves over a hot Internet finding the most outrageous examples of human silliness. Welcome to our latest collection.

Pensées 122
Ho-hum. Thinking time again, says Mac Nevitor. Few will pay attention, predict we.

Unseen Resonances
Another of our famous little audio-visual excursions in (literally) the wild and cloudy blue yonder. Slideshow with midi (4:45).

While some seem quite heroic and other quite terrible, mmost deaths, like most lives, are merely ordinary, hum-drum erasures.

Ten Tips for Tumultuous Times
Ora's back! After months of silence involving finding just the right chemicals to deal with her midlife depression, our ever-popular token Republican returns with ten suggestions for dealing with life in this difficult 21st century.

The same thing is wrong with modern medicine that is wrong with modern philosophy: except in the most superficial cases it knows not whereof it treats.

Home
Another of our ill-advised forays into the murky world of p----y, this time a mere five lines by our non-resident mystic, Mr. Chardo Blue Plains, his own self. Warning: Some readers illusion-bound will be more offended by the illustration than by his dangerously hhopeful words.

Life's follies stem from the attempt to emulate that which we do not resemble.
                                --Samuel Johnson.
