Staff Biographies
"Giving well is the best
revenge." |
A Tale of Two Icons
 Pedkop Bumbera is
back again, using car design instead of tea leaves to try to make sense of American electoral behavior.
This time he's fixated on the 1958 Cadillac vs. SUVs.GRRR! The
Cumulative Rage of Neanderthal on the Verge of Extinction
Chardo Blue Plains takes a thoughtful, incendiary whack
at understanding the fearful rage of Republicans.
The Florida Memorandum
In an open letter to the editors of the New York Times and the Washington Post, our own
editor outlines the plot of a really bad political thriller-- or is it in fact a rough
description of what actually happened in Florida,
Nov. 7, 2000?
The World's Biggest Tie
Doc Cuddy on the utter meaninglessness of the 2000
presidential election, and what the voters were really saying (does "Don't
disturb us in our pursuit of greed" sound about right?).
The Magellan's Log
Cyber-Humours Test
How do you fit in the Brave New Digital World unfolding
before our analog eyes? Does a life of broadband ease lie before you? Or are there old-
fashioned elements in your personality which may cause problems? Find out quickly with our handy analytical quiz.
US vs. THEM
Our in-house eschatologist, Cheki Boggus, tries his far-reaching hand at making sense of
the nonsense of human conflict. He may have bit off
more than he can chew.
Laws of the Universe
The fundamental rules governing our existence, in a
new, updated version for the new, updated millennium.
B.TV.
Pedro Bofecillos undertakes the modest task of revising
the entire chronology of human history, setting the year zero at what he takes to be
the most momentous media moment of the 20th century.
 No IPO? No advertising? How do we do it? We sometimes wonder too. Quality
tells (or so we hope). For now, check our gift shop for Magellan's
Log mementos.

Magellan's Log Books & CDs
"Giving well is the best
revenge."
Gifts for yourself, and for any of your friends who are still awake and
thinking. All drawn from the sometimes boistrous, sometimes beautiful pages of Magellan's
Log. Click here for more info about, among other things, the
funniest book of the 21st century (so far).
The Freedom of Utah 12
Herbert Lehnert takes us to one of the remotest places in the continguous 48 states and
ponders freedom in the wilderness.
 Sperm Lit 101
Our book editor fesses up, after some hemming and hawing, to really, really liking her
newly discovered writer of genre fiction, Lee Child, whom
she virtually annoints as the new Dick Francis. Go figure.
Rosson's Rocks
For thousands of years, the Chinese have been collecting and admiring naturally shaped
rocks, called "scholar's stones." Now Americans are doing it. Here's our set of nine, from the Texas Hill
Country (with midi).
Great Planes
Joey Ancaster plays visual and aural "Let's Pretend" and creates some far-off landscapes in which
to let your imagination wander.
Moments Musicaux
 Music in this age of technology has become this huge, public money-making
machine. Whatever happened to the important
role of music-making in the home, asks Henry Bob Kulup.
EYE TEST
What if believing isn't seeing, but not-seeing? A little animated eye chart (with a little random
midi) for your visionary pleasure.
U-Buy-It
We've lifted 20 images from some great old classic 1940s magazine advertisements. All you
have to do is figure out what product each image was selling. It's instant time machine, funny and maybe also a little bit unsettling.
Tasteless Jokes 26
