"Giving well is the best revenge."

The MLMPI
In our on-going effort to improve things sanity-wise, it occurred to us it's way past time for an updated, streamlined version of the creaky old Minnesota Multi-phasic Personality Inventory test, which we now present: the Magellan's Log Multi-phasic Personality Inventory Test. Some may call it satire, but that only shows how great the need is for our new version.

Fun with Dick & Jane & Midi
Our in-house composer has some aural responses when he revisits scenes of the crime from first-grade days.

Ever the patriot, John Mimbres has created a brief, simple intelligence test for present and future occupants of the White House.

Good Neighbors
Clearly we've been taking it all much too seriously. Here's a simple little U.S. geography puzzle to take your mind off, well, things.

Eyes so close together he could use a monocle, abnormally unintelligent, could barely read at all, "rescued from the booze by Jesus" - and if there's one sentence that would piss me off more than any other, that's it. But one can look on the bright side and say it proves that anyone can be president.
                --Christopher Hitchens on you-know-who.

The Primrose Path Game
The Magellan's Log psycho- metaphysical research team has actually succeeded in quantifying how close each of us is to happiness. Play the Primrose Path Game and see for yourself.

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 Franz Liszt Jukebox
In the19th century Franz Liszt was a one-man cottage industry, churning out reams of piano arrangements of great orchestral (and other) music so people could hear it at home. For all you would-be time-travelers, an ear-tingling selection.

Cars longa, vita brevis
A small sampling of the 200 vehicles in the 2002 Houston Art Car Parade. We especially like the Student Driver, but the Muscle Car is pretty good too.

Some Unknown Thousands
of Years Ago
Our itinerant mystic, Chardo Blue Plains, who seems to spend his time in his 1959 Beetle on the highways of North America, has turned up again with this thought from somewhere in Wyoming (with midi).

Technological Utopians
of the World, Unite!
Rean Rhyne, our techno-expert, fed up with politics, argues that we have to fill the world's stomachs before we can hope for better things.

Island Revisited
Forty years after its first appearance, we return to Aldous Huxley's utopia. Fragile and idealistic, it is, given what humanity's been up to lately, aging well.

One photo of old Santa Fe, with one even older melody.
