Lucid Dreaming

Dreaming in Color by Richard Buettner
Had my first really cool lucid dream the other day. For those of you who don’t know what Lucid Dreaming (LD) is about read about it on wiki. Anyway, I started dreaming and I knew I was dreaming but I was able to choose to stay asleep. I was in my house and I was playing a game where I summon items to my hand like Jedi’s can do in star wars. That was pretty fun but I got bored with summoning items and I tried to fly. It was really hard. My feet kept going over my head and I had a lot of trouble. Then I wondered if I could summon a hottie for some fun but the phreaking phone rang and woke me up. Dammit!

Anyway. LD’ing is amazing and everyone should try it. Again, check the wiki for more info.

White Noise


Want to focus at work or on a task that requires concentration and a clear head without hearing your co-workers or fiddling with your ipod trying to find the songs that don’t distract? Well, head over to SimplyNoise. These guys generate “White Noise” which has enough sound to drown out background noises yet is bland enough to not distract. I have it running right now and it doesn’t phase me in the least.

Coral Cancer

Great! Another sign that the world is slowly dying. Coral around the globe is dying because of sunscreen getting into the ocean and doing nasty stuff. Read about it here and see photos of the coral reef in Key West before and after. I have read in the past that the Coral Reef is the largest “living” creature on the planet and is responsible for a lot of the planets oxygen. We all know that we are doomed as a species but this is just more evidence of such.
