	russian woodpecker The Soviets fired the first shot in 1976. Miami Springs amateur operator Andy Clark (W4IYT, now SK) remembers it. Clark was operating a commercial aeronautical communications station, one which keeps contact with long-distance airliner flights by shortwave radio. Suddenly, powerful interference came on the air, disrupting communications. "I named that damn thing the woodpecker," Clark said, when he asked the New York headquarters of his communications firm if they, too, were experiencing...

	easy does it The way Walter Mosley tells it, his formula for writing a book is remarkably simple. "I sit down with a character in mind, and wherever that first sentence takes me, that's where I go," he tells the Pitch. That first sentence is what drove Mosley, who worked for 15 years as a computer programmer, to write in the first place. "One day I wrote a sentence," he explains, reciting the sentence from...

	the promised land From Jon Krakauer's 'Under the Banner of Heaven': In Ohio the Mormons found their neighbors to be relatively hospitable, but in the summer of 1831 the Lord revealed to Joseph [Smith] that Kirtland was merely a way station, and that the Missouri frontier was in fact "the land which I have appointed and consecrated for the gathering of the Saints." God explained that northwestern Missouri was among the earth's holiest places: the... Posted by xtop at 07:29 AM \| Comments (0)

	false starts: jerry garcia memorial stomp -Society can be divided among those who can explain the significance of August 9th and those who cant and those who can are probably too stoned anyhow. -Summer wouldnt be complete unless youve spent at least one muggy August night in a club, elbow to elbow with the stink of patchouli, body odor and kind bud. -August 9th will forever be known as the day the US dropped the bomb on Nagasaki,...

	if you want to talk to me then shut your fucking mouth No more comments, at least not until I start paying for MT or something. Today was the thoughtpeach.com team's own Tet Offensive, and suffice to say, we weren't the ones wearing pointy hats. Somewhere around 600 spam comments were logged by fer, the most evil internet spiderobot motherfucker ever shat out of some technologically savvy cocksucker's syphillitic brain. The thing that irks me is, I could totally understand if it were pushing... Posted by xtop at 03:29 AM \| Comments (0)


	time can be turned back From Pravda, so in addition to being written in bad english, it makes no sense at all and is a horrible pack of lies, but i'm a sucker for this kinda nonsense: Neither TV nor radio companies reported the astonishing fact; Gennady Belimov says the Russian president was not informed of the experiment. However, he tells that already under Stalin there was a Research Institute of the Parallel World. Results of experiments... Posted by xtop at 01:11 AM \| Comments (0)

	the conet project Explained by the owner of Aquarius Records: Essentially, The Conet Project is an encyclopedic document of transmissions from "Numbers Stations," which send out highly encrypted codes by means of anonymous shortwave radio broadcasts. No government agency has ever confessed to operating Numbers Stations, but conventional wisdom has it that most of the world's intelligence agencies operate them. Disembodied voices (English, German, Chinese, Czech) chanting numbers in sets of four or five are... Posted by xtop at 08:58 AM \| Comments (0)


	some notes on music: 7.24.04 Bam Thwok - The Pixies So I commented on Fraction's blog about how massively underwhelmed I am by this song, but really, this song isn't very good at all. Ok, I understand, the Pixies have been gone awhile, so anything new from them is ostensible cause for celebration, but this is a pretty piss-poor effort. The guitars are the only saving grace, but at the sacrifice of everything else, and, really, with... Posted by xtop at 01:02 AM \| Comments (2)

	nixon vs. the world yes! NIXON: I have the greatest affection for them [blacks], but I know they're not going to make it for 500 years. They aren't. You know it, too. The Mexicans are a different cup of tea. They have a heritage. At the present time they steal, they're dishonest, but they do have some concept of family life. They don't live like a bunch of dogs, which the Negroes do live like. EHRLICHMAN:... Posted by xtop at 01:11 PM \| Comments (2)

	BTK: Overdue The Wichita Public Library typically opens at 10 a.m. Today, that didnt happen, because police instructed workers to keep the public away. A supervisor says police were called this morning, but its unclear why. Wichita police arrived, but theyre not acknowledging anything happened there. Those who were at the library this morning say police removed a suspicious package that was left in an overnight drop box, possibly another message from BTK....

	If you are married, please close your browser Ran across this on the Washington Post website of all places. So it's come to this? There's something so over the top about this whole thing that screams out JOKE, but, no, it's so very sadly real. Cause there's nothing worse than finding out your internet date is married, unless, I guess, you find out that they are also a convicted felon. The look on her face pretty much sums up...

	slumber party from here: If the trend continues, congressmen will have to stay up mighty late - or else awaken before the crack of dawn - to cast votes in the waning months of the 108th Congress. Sleepy-eyed Democrats aren't amused by the Republican-led "wee-hour" voting, including a groggy Ohio Rep. Sherrod Brown, who calls the previous five days "a bad week in Washington." "Never before when the Democrats were in control, or when... Posted by xtop at 10:34 AM \| Comments (0)

	fugue(d) A machine operator at a plant in Troy, Schauster said he remembers nothing about the time he was missing. Police found a receipt in his car showing he spent July 4 in a Motel 6 in Topeka, Kan. His car's odometer indicates he drove about 4,000 miles during the episode. "When they come around from this, they have an amnesic gap of the period they disappeared in," Kopelman said. "They're often miles... Posted by xtop at 08:51 PM \| Comments (0)

	broomfield! "Broomfield casually explodes the fragile construct of 'the objective' documentary in favour of a helpless absurdism totally in tune with the times. The tenets of an entire genre are implicitly mocked. He leaves in what others are trained to take out and doesn't appear to possess a traditional viewpoint which explains why he angers liberals and conservatives alike." he's also wired different from the rest of us, totally shameless on camera...

	secret signals If you've ever ventured outside the shortwave broadcast and ham radio bands and tuned around the areas allotted to so-called "fixed" stations you may have heard voices reading out long lists of numbers in either four or five digit groups. These transmissions are generally called "numbers stations" and appear in a variety of languages. Transmissions in Spanish are heard most often in the United States but, in Europe, German, English and... Posted by xtop at 02:35 AM \| Comments (0)

Each guest was asked to bring at least five rolls of 3000 speed Polaroid film. Dozens of exposures were made in the two cameras brought by Dr. Eisenbud. Serios would hold what he called a gismo (a black paper tube about one inch in diameter and one and one... Posted by xtop at 02:15 AM \| Comments (0)
