Nobody really even knows with whom the US is at war, or where. Everyone just knows that it is vital that it continue in unlimited form indefinitely.

This is cool. It looks through your favourites and suggests other images that you might like. Processing is a bit slow: 25 minutes the first time, and then you have to wait five days for another request. All the same, it’s a great way to find beautiful images.

“Visit the USSR” - A. Antonchenko - 1958

I’m watching Star Trek Voyager (instead of doing something useful) and started thinking about how we would appear to all those alien species. Almost without exception, they have more detailed and colourful faces than us, so we must seem bland and featureless by comparison. More or less the way that the Greys of ufology appear to us.

In other words, we must seem really creepy to all those other species.

Some accuse LaVey of paraphrasing the Nine Satanic Statements from Rand’s Atlas Shrugged without acknowledgement, though others maintain that LaVey simply was drawing inspiration from the novel. LaVey later affirmed the connection with Rand’s ideas by stating that LaVeyan Satanism was “just Ayn Rand’s philosophy, with ceremony and ritual added”.

The Online Photographer: You Just Gotta Love Pentax

As a one-time Apple fanboy, I now follow Pentax, which seems to embody so many of the qualities that I used to see in Apple. Glad to see that some other people are making a similar connection.

Think different”? The people at Pentax put Apple to shame on that score, if you ask me.
