A truly mind-bending visual conundrum that will say much about how you think.

Although it's kind of terrifying that Google is extending its tendrils into space, Google Moon is an incredible web app, the result of a collaboration with NASA.

What wonderful news. There is new hope that Earth, if not the life on it, might survive an apocalypse five billion years from now.
At least we've done SOMETHING right
Excellent photo gallery over at Wired of the 30 years of Voyager Spacecraft's mind-numbingly beautiful images of the cosmos. This makes me want to throw up, it's so good.
Incredible German documentary about Ted Kaczynski, LSD, the history of the Internet, digerati, technology, mathematics, utopianism, Ken Kesey, Heinz von Foerster, and CIA mind-control experiments. SO GOOD.

Conclave of Light
Archived From September 3, 2007
Long-time readers of this blog will be familiar with my tenderness for the Unarians, a UFO cult-cum-Renaissance science foundation that has been based in El Cajon, California since the 1960s. In 2006 I made something of a pilgrimage to their compound and left with a profound sense of mystified pity, or pitiful mysticism, which was ultimately a kind of admiration for the pastel dreamscape of their cosmology.
In any case, I occasionally receive the "Unarius E-Flash," an enlightened e-mail newsletter. In its better moments it makes glowing pronouncements about the Unarius public-access television production studio going HD or the re-release of "Infinite Perspectus" on MP3. Today, I received the email I've been waiting for since my El Cajon visit: a flyer advertising the much-awaited Unarian celebration, "The 24th Interplanetary Conclave of Light." If I weren't otherwise occupied in the month of October, I would be there with my turquoise sweat-suit on. Is there anyone I can wrangle into a little investigative reporting?
If you have any doubts, this pictorial tour of the 2005 conclave and video (sorry, Realplayer) of the dove release (FROM A UFO) into the blazing San Diego sky might change your mind.
