Owl Pellets: My Undigested Internets.
-
- the Foresight Institute » Nanotech and space travel – Just in case the space elevator is bit too down to earth for you, you might be interested in the space pier. 100km tall and 300km long. And, oh yeah, it’s built out of magic diamonds by robots. All that effort just to go some place whose defining quality is that there’s nothing there. Having said that, this idea might work.
- AMS Policy Statement on Geoengineering the Climate System – Turns out Geoengineering is risky. Brought to you from the Dept. of the Completely Fucking Obvious.
- Cthuugle Ph’nglui Search Fhtagn! – The most evil search engine on the internet. Except for Google.
- My First Dictionary – This kinda reminds me of that book by that guy about those kids that are dead.
Although Ryan Oakley began his career as a simple rake (drunk) he has since become Toronto’s most renowned flaneur (no car) and notorious dandy (overdresses). A misanthropic composer of psycho-geographical fictions (bad science fiction), he is also a server of food, a tender of bar and a washer of dishes. While performing all these functions with efficiency and elegance (disdain and malice), he somehow finds the time to publicly criticize friends, strangers and cultural crap. He's a bit of a dick.

Ha!
Not literally true of course. 98% of the resources in the solar system are non-terrestrial. There is plenty of there, up there.
It is, currently, a little hard to get at, is all.
