black world technology

Welcome to black world technology — the discrepancy in the defense budgets no-one can explain, and the programs which politicians and officials have the right to deny even exist. But obtaining information about today's black technology applications is virtually impossible. In official circles, a black program may be classed as "deniable", which means people can refute that the government is developing or knows about its existence. The U.S. has the largest black...

spread

Andre 3000 has somehow crafted one of the greatest sexpop songs ever on one of the most oddly compulsive mutations of genre in a good long while. Tourretic backbeats, echoing falsettos, Aladdin Sane-esque piano rolls, bleating horns and stutter step turntables. Andre's voice gamuts from speed freak rapping to soulful pleas, all of it compressed into 3:53 of complete pop ecstasy. Combined with Hey Ya! and the general aversion to anything...

a cobalt future

Ethan suited up and walked into a triple- door sally-port, where he progressed through each airlock via ten-inch-thick lead-lined doors. Past the last door, he stepped into a massive room/warehouse, about 60 feet wide by 100 feet in length, with a 20-foot ceiling–huge for battleship storage-room standards. From the floor to the ceiling, thousands upon thousands of what looked like missiles were stored. It was weird, because he’d never seen missiles stored...

america: and how we got that way

new category! bad news! good times! just saving them here until I can get my head clear enough to slog through the bad times of the new usa. Similarly the PNAC blueprint of September 2000 states that the process of transforming the US into "tomorrow's dominant force" is likely to be a long one in the absence of "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor". The 9/11 attacks...

man of the people: vacation

I've been in Taitung for two days, hopefully soon on my way to Ludao Island and Lanyu Island, however a typhoon that should be passing over or actually underneath Taiwan after midnight tonight has thrown a kink into those plans. I'm staying in a hostel called the Gringo, in a room so small that when we opened the door it smacked right into the bunk beds that take up the entirety of...
