To be honest, I don’t have much clue about most of what he’s talking about in this letter since I haven’t read KAOS 14 (found elsewhere on the site). But this part is funny:
When I told you that I definitely remembered seeing a copy of an earlier, more sexually provocative book in the series called Harry Potter and the Choronzon Working, it turns out this was only in a dream. Sorry.

New Scientist reports:
People with high levels of dopamine are more likely to find significance in coincidences, and pick out meaning and patterns where there are none.
But they’re also more likely to perceive patterns that other people miss.

Lecture on “humanism” in the of future marketing and advertising.
Very interesting read. Reminds me of the Savage Girl by Alex Shakar, which I strongly recommend. Especially to anyone interested in marketing and its role in society.

I’ve been meaning to post something about Tarnation for a while now. I don’t really have much to say, and perhaps now everyone’s heard about it. I just find the idea intriguing. I look forward to see how he pulls it off. The idea sort of reminds me of Sans Soleil. With everyone walking around with cheap digital cameras and with windows movie maker on every computer, what does the future hold?
Last weekend Technoccult got nailed with a huge spam bomb. And while using Mt-blacklist to try to delete the spam comments, I accidently deleted the last 300 comments from this site and Klintron’s Brain. Ooops. Luckily, I didn’t rebuild the site, so all the comments were still in HTML format. Luckily I found a perl script I found on Movable Type support forums, written by anakin513 and apakuni.
Michael modified the script to work with my files, and I think everything’s in order now. I think I’ve restored all the non-spam and non-troll messages posted since the problem occured, but I’m not sure.
A lot of the category tags got dropped, the permalinks are all ruined, and I might have lost some extended entries along the way.
I plan to move to Word Press in the next week or so, so the permalinks will all change again, so don’t go updating them now. At that point I’ll fix the categories. If you come across an entry that should be an extended entry and isn’t, please leave a comment.
And again, mad props to Michael for getting that Perl script working.
Speaking of William Blaze, he’s resumed his “Wind is the Enemy” art series.
