I thought I did a post on this, but either I didn’t or it got deleted… anyway, in case you haven’t noticed you can turn off the ads by clicking the “Turn Off Ads” link at the top of the page. You could also turn them back on again, if you wanted to do that for some reason. The ads on Hexx will disappear if you login.

With his death, Beckham’s name was added to a growing list of British scientists who’ve died or disappeared under mysterious circumstances since 1982.

In case you’re reading in an RSS reader: there’s a new design at Technoccult, so Technoccult, so check it out. The new design was created by me based on the HemmingwayEx theme for WordPress. I will eventually package it for release on its own. The new logo was designed by Danny Chaoflux.
Also, check out the new subsite Hexx, where you can submit your own links through a Digg-style interface.
Oh, and I may break a few things here or there as I work out the kinks in the new design.

If I want to depict that moment, I’d keep in mind the ten of swords, which Crowley also called ‘Ruin’. And for the hero who just saved the day, probably major 19: The Sun, Resplendant triumph and joy.
