Isn't a Germanic Extropian childern's book an oxymoron? Just saying.

Weblog *PERFECT* Gar English Gar
1999-06-15 08:52:00
I don't know why, but my writing has become completely incomprehensible lately. It's scary. So I've vowed to myself not to use any stars or all-caps or anything in this link. Oh, and perfect.co.uk is a Weblog. End of Blurb, begin article now.
For some reason Pigdog Journal got on somebody's list of Weblogs and now we get X-reffed from different Weblog lists all over the Web. I don't know why, cause we're not really all that Webloggety or anything. But these things happen and I'm not complaining because, hell, links, right? We like that.
Anyways, another site that always ends up on these lists is perfect. I don't mean the site is perfect, I mean the name of the site is "perfect." Dahoy. Roll with me here, people.
Perfect is the most abbreviated Weblog ever. Just links, without any explanatory text or pointers or blurbs or descriptions or what have you. You have to go click the links yourself to find out what all the hullabaloo is about in the first place.
But this is completely OK, because perfect.co.uk has got incredible links. They find the best of the best in beautiful and hysterical design all over the Web, and make links to it (the best). There are all kinds of wiggety Dutch and Japanese and English and European and like that links. Because foreign people don't talk so good so they have to make pictures instead.
Where am I going with this? Uh, dunno. But I liked perfect.co.uk and I think you will too.

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
The IBM Selectric Typewriter Changed My Life
I ran my hands lovingly across her frame, lightly brushing her metallic nipples with my fingers, admiring the shapes and the ways of her curves, the empathetic hum she produced as I had my way with her, the way she made it all seem so effortless and right... she didn't even seem to mind the way I roughly manipulated her knobs and tweaked her casing. She was extremely tolerant, for a typewriter. (More...)
A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
