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.

Visionary Fiction:
TEHUACANA.
A complete novel, illustrated with ink-brush drawings by the author. From nightmares on the battlefields of France to visions in the Chihuahuan Desert to. . . Tehuacana, where time stops and a new--and very old--vision of reality emerges in words and music. A unique multi-media reading experience, possible only on the Internet.

Forgotten
Masterpieces
The flood of information inundates us daily. The good news is easy access to data. The bad news: We can easily lose sight of great work. For example...

Farewell, adios, adieu, auf Wiedersehen,
20th Century
Doc Cuddy says so long and (mostly) good riddance) to a wild and wacky hundred years.

Talent Sprouts
World- traveler Diebold Essen finds hope in a cultural desert and applies it to the over-irrigated environs of Silicon Valley and the many Silicon Valley, Jrs. appearing all over the world.

ARGGGHH!!!
Still more brainteasers. Some old, some new, from pretty easy to a real stumper or two.

How Do You Tell a Bush from a Shrub from a Weed?
Editor Doc Cuddy has a shattering moment of political clarity that explains the puzzling family politics of Big Daddy Bush.

The Apprentice at Saïs

A little parable for the ends of millennia (not to mention the beginnings and middles).

Roll of the Dice. Click here to be whisked to a random page in the archives.

Links for the Misbegotten
Everybody's got their bookmarks and their favorite links. The Magellan's Log staff got together and nominated the best of the best. Here they are.

Kinky &
Terminal Hip
How'd we get to a place where the sharpest wit turns up in a down-at-heels who-dun-it series, and what does it all mean?

The sky above,
the art below
From the Gallérie de Ferdinand: pictures that line the galley walls to get cook's mind off the briney deep. Paintings, photographs, woodcuts, with music... The Galle(r)y.

XXX X-words (hehe)
Crossword puzzles the likes of which you'll never see in the Times. Check and refresh your knowledge of basic Anglo-Saxon terminology, or do the dirtiest crossword ever devised.

Bach:
Goldberg
Variations

Potholes on the Infobahn
What to do, what to do when the info-glut becomes emetic, and you find out way more than you ever wanted to know about past idols and past friends, who not only turn out to have feet of pixels but don't remind revealing that fact to all and sundry on the Internet.

Tips on
family tiffs
Denise Hawkins takes a long, deep look at family crises and reports back with a helpful hint or two. Greater Ears.

No. 3 in the Series...

Best Books
Five lists of the "best" English-language books of the 20th century, four from Modern Library and one from Waterstone Books (UK).

Up-lifting
Jokes
Always eager to maintain a proper yin-yang balance (mustn't let the old qi get out of whack), we cast our internet net again into the polluted sea of cyber-humor.

Highway without a number

Come with Pedkop Bambera as he guides his Acura down the Natchez Trace, one of the great--and least-known-- American drives.

Happy Ears
A bit of music for the chiliastically minded. Midi, yes, but this is GOOD midi. Well, okay, INTERESTING midi. Um, all right, off-the-beaten- synthesizer midi. With some carelessly chosen art thrown in.

Lost generation
gap spotted
Our in-house Jeremiah, Maurice Fitznuggly, takes on the boomers. His bile is boiling; his vituperation vicious. See for yourself, if you dare. All at Sea.

Think you're pretty hip, huh? Culture ain't what it used to be. Match culture wits with our quiz master. No. 770.

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.

Putting a creative spin on smoking
Never fearing to step on popular toes, we toss out a proposal that only puts a positive spin on s---ing and c---------s, but bids fair to revive the failing American art  scene.   The Arts of Smoking.
