the complex

Back in the AIRnet days, I dreamed of buying a few floors of the old Terry-Hutchens building in downtown Huntsville and renovating it into a completely wired living space that my friends and I would all be proud to occupy. It would be called theComplex, and I even bought the domain name to match. Of course, I didn’t have the business experience at the time, and had no idea how to develop such an idea.

Someone else does. I heard on the news last night that: “The developers behind Electric Avenue are also working on another project in the Rocket City. Right now, about 8 loft-style apartments are under construction. They’re located above the Kaffe Klatsch on Jefferson Street in downtown Huntsville. The apartments have a big city look with open living areas, brick walls, and unfinished ceilings. They should be complete in about five months. So far it isn’t clear if they’ll be rented out or sold.”

Geez, maybe I can at least get them to lose that stoopid name in favor of a better one.

Why blog

Matt asks an interesting question: “why weblog?”

True, my primary reason for keeping this site around is that it serves as a universally-accessible bookmarks page. When I find something interesting, I post about it. There are, of course, other reasons.

I read or heard, somewhere, something, that said that no thought can truly be considered complete until it has left the mind, converted to another medium, such as text or speech or art. This sounds odd at first, but consider how truly difficult it is to express yourself verbally. You can think of amazing things, but the act of converting these thoughts to static text or spoken words takes a significant effort. These simple few lines, for me, contained numerous backspaces and word-replacements that narrowed my original thoughts into precise verbiage.

I think perhaps some of the effort is due to the sycophantic nature of our own minds, encouraging mental laziness. “Yessir, boss! That’s a great idea, boss!” In our own minds, we don’t have to error-correct, because we already know what we mean, when we’re thinking to ourselves.

Most people are content to remain almost without thought for the entirety of their lives, and what thoughts they do express are of a very simplistic nature, usually issued verbally, and then forgotten.

In answer to the question “why blog,” my answer is “so that I can complete my thoughts.”

Loonies with HAARP

Here’s some pertinent and very-well-researched links regarding military weather and mind control.

Be sure to put on your aluminum-foil hats and pray to the aliens.

First up, we have the Armageddon site, page 2. Notice the spooky radar artifacts.

Next, why not ask those nice Alaskans what they’re doing with their HAARP experimentations.

About those harmless vapor trails made by airplanes? Read more here.

Finally, a lengthy rant regarding weather control served by conspiracy-theorist David Icke.

Remember the magic phrase, kids: “I can neither confirm nor deny those statements.”

CIA Spook Lady

The CIA Spook Lady is the cashier at a local Chinese buffet. She asks lots of suspicious questions, because she’s a member of the CIA. Today, she asked to see Robert’s license as he paid for dinner.

CIA Spook Lady: “Robert, you didn’t have any hair in this picture!”
Robert: “Yeah. I lost it all in an accident.”
CIA Spook Lady: “Oh.”

Jellyfish

Chironex Fleckeri is considered to be one of the most, if not the most, deadly sea creatures known. The venom from this grapefruit-sized jellyfish has cardiotoxic, neurotoxic and highly dermatonecrotic components, and can easily kill a human within fifteen minutes.

“Those breasts were lethal weapons,” he told reporters.

Aren’t they all?
