Movies in 3D Blow
Movies in 3D blow!!! They blow because they force you to look at certain parts of the screen. I want to be able to scan the screen if I want to; check out what’s happening in the background, perhaps. I spend too much time trying to figure out what I’m supposed to be looking at. I’ve said it before, they only make them 3D to make piracy more difficult.

We will have absolute control, absolute communication, absolute information, regardless of whether the laws of physics allow this. Transhumanists often fail to note the irony that their “scientifically” proven theology results in the deconstruction of the laws of science. This is...

he thinks he's people
Why would a machine want to be human? Why do humans believe that every thing aspires to be like us? We say of our pets, “He thinks he is people.” Perhaps it is not so. It could be that our dogs are condescendingly saying, “He’s trying so hard to be a dog like me. The poor fool. Just bring me my food.” I have never heard a dog willingly try to speak like a man, but I...

Bcc Instructor Doubles As Teacher, Artist (1986) →
Out behind the studio that sits behind artist Lawrence Tobe`s tree-shaded home on the outskirts of Davie lies his “graveyard.“ The graveyard is a testament to artistic change, for amidst the lush foliage that surrounds Tobe`s studio lie battered canvases, smashed wooden sculptures and other scorned relics of Tobe`s creativity. “I`ve always felt my next work is going to be the...
