The medium makes the message
Read more: The medium makes the messageIf you read many of the posts on this blog you’ll notice that I have been a musician for most of the past 30 years or so. Specifically, a “Jazz Guitarist”. Many knowledgeable folks have tried to classify what “jazz” is or what qualifies a certain piece of music as “jazz”. I admit that I […]

Culture Orbital animation, version 2
Read more: Culture Orbital animation, version 2Science Fiction may not be everybody’s thing. But when you pull yourself away from mainstream SF movies like Star Wars and seek out some contemporary Science Fiction literature you might be pleasantly surprised. For me Science Fiction has always been more a literary thing, simply because I was reading books before I watched any SF […]

And the pizza spoke to me
Read more: And the pizza spoke to meMy kids like their pizza with cheese – nothing else. I, on the other hand, love veggies and last Sunday at the dinner table I randomly threw some garlic and a handful of broccoli sprouts on my slice. I was just about to take a bite when this face was staring at me! “The Virgin […]

Not in my backyard….
Read more: Not in my backyard….….but in my friend Rob’s! Easter Sunday 2010. Late afternoon. About 30 German kids and parents witnessed as this thing came out of nowhere, zooming over people’s heads.

The Future of Humanity, part 2: what went wrong?
Read more: The Future of Humanity, part 2: what went wrong?Let’s face it: Today we don’t live in the future we (or our parents) envisioned. Civilization was not eliminated or at least decimated by a nuclear war – at least not yet. TV hasn’t dumbed down all of society as predicted. But we also didn’t get our flying cars and there is definitely no big […]

The Future of Humanity, part 1: so last century
Read more: The Future of Humanity, part 1: so last centuryWhen in the 1960s and 70s technology seemed to jump forward with new inventions and discoveries practically every week, with the crown of course being the first manned landing on the Moon by Apollo 11, it looked like it would only be a short two decades until we would have humans live in a permanent […]

Why Shouldn’t We All Get Along (with the aliens)?
Read more: Why Shouldn’t We All Get Along (with the aliens)?If you read some of the posts here you might have guessed that I try to be a rational, skeptical, scientifically minded individual. Somebody who has never been to college but realized he probably should have been. This ‘rational’ streak of my life isn’t very old, though. Up until about ten years ago I was […]

Auto psycho analysis of a guitar player
Read more: Auto psycho analysis of a guitar playerThis is going to be a very personal item. That doesn’t mean it will contain juicy details or revelations of secret information. It just means it might not interest anybody else but myself – hence the ‘Auto psycho….’. In my professional life I pretend to be a guitar player – for the past 35 years […]

Rebooting Reality, part 1
Read more: Rebooting Reality, part 1I have often wondered what would happen if we could start over with something. For example language. Let’s say we wind back time to the beginning of the development of language – assuming, for the moment, there is such a thing as a starting point. If we let it run again from that moment how […]
