From: Torture memos reveal brutality of US imperialism *Use of insects. A memo authorizes agents to place an insect in the “cramped confinement box” of a prisoner who interrogators noticed had “a fear of insects.” […] The media generally joined Obama in studiously avoiding use of the term “torture” in …
A couple of my friends are maintaining blogs that you might want to check out: At Q0nd0r W3ary, my good friend Ivo writes about everything that ignites his enthusiasm, with an emphasis on books and music. His mind is a fascinating thing: always ready to examine everything intensely and seriously, …
The first two minutes of “The Gravel Road” from the soundtrack of The Village are amongst the most stunningly beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. I should write more about that movie – it is deeply misunderstood, it’s depressing. It’s possibly the most touching film about love that …
I wasn’t certain whether I was going to like this movie. On the one hand, Alex Proyas directed Dark City, one of my all-time favourite movies… but on the other hand, he also did I, Robot. I shouldn’t have worried. Knowing isn’t as good as Dark City, but it’s an …

This has been an incredibly busy week, which is why I haven’t managed to update the blog. I have made a great deal of progress with Phenomenon 32, and added quite a few neat things that weren’t in the original plan. I hope to have it finished tomorrow. I also …
Listening to the Canto General and programming like hell. Will hopefully make the deadline with awesome game. Man, this music is impressive.
I had been planning to spend all of yesterday working on Phenomenon 32. Instead, I was so incredibly ill that I spent the whole day in bed, incapable of eating or driking. I swear I haven’t felt this bad in years, if not decades. It was awful. Even when my …
