I am I.
All is dispersion. These are the quality of things.

Youdopia, this is the Craziest Shit Ever. For real. Some guy recreated the classic Queen song, Bohemian Rhapsody, using vintage computers, equipment, and components. It’s amazing. It’s also six minutes long, so you may want to scrub through it a bit, but… it’s really amazing.  The amount of work is staggering.  Tech blog Geeklogie turned [...]

The Story Of The Non-Existent Princes

in fnord, sadhana and dharma, wisdom

When I lived in the ashram, back in 1991-92, my roommate, Richard, would read aloud from the Yoga Vasistha. This story was the first, in my recollection, that gave me the satori experience, and really defined what I had been experiencing in my meditations. Nondualism, nonexistence, existence, turtles all the way down. The nonesense of [...]

Music: Led Zeppelin Playing Louie Louie And Sly Stone’s Everyday People.

in Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, fnord, music

This is Led Zeppelin playing Louie Louie, and Sly Stone’s Everyday People. It’s from the same show that was released as How The West Was Won, but it didn’t make the official release. It’s too bad. I like it. I think it starts at the end of Thank You, with the organ, and just rolls [...]

It’s been one of those days. The baby is at an insufferable age. Ego, defiance, destruction. It’s all part of the game, but this weekend has not been a restful Shambalah. Swaha. Tomorrow is another day. A work day.

Craziest Shit Ever: Conservative Teabagging – Rachel Maddow And The Elephant In The Room

in craziest shit ever, fnord, humor, wisdom

Youdopia, I succumb to shameless pandering at times. I am but mortal. Here is a viral vid of Rachel Maddow discussing the whole Boston Tea Party thing the nazis are doing. Of course, being clueless squares, the conservatives choose the unfortunate verb, “Teabag” as what one does to protest Obama’s attempts to form a more [...]

This Is Truth, This Is Truth. Out With The Bad Air, In With Good.

in fnord, sadhana and dharma

I have been getting a little more into my Hindu, advaitist side. It just snuck up on me. I started reading the Bhagavad Gita, and then… boom. I’m all spiritual… kind of. For me. The deities in the above picture are (from left to right) MahaLakshmi, Ganesh, and Saraswati.  I have had a fairly consistent [...]
