Well I missed DEF CON yet again, but the videos are up and I’m going to spend my weekend attending virtual talks. Here’s the virtual playlists, but I really wish I’d done some of the interactive content. Maybe next year.

Heaven’s Gate Art
Back in college I used to study cults. My mentor in studying alternative religions and extraordinary group behavior was professor Robert Balch, best known as the sociologist who infiltrated Heaven’s Gate in the 70s. With the 25th anniversary of their suicides coming up watch for interviews with Rob detailing some of his knowledge of the […]
So you think you’re a psychonaut
The Way of the Psychonaut [Extended Trailer] from Susan Hess Logeais on Vimeo. Dr Stan Grof is known to many alternative thinkers as a pioneer in psychedelic research or the developer of an intense breathwork program that can produce regressions of consciousness back to the womb and beyond. But I’d like to share one of […]
Terminal City Ricochet
Since I’m so busy dating myself as Gen-X, here’s another must see. Terminal City Richochet, the punkest of sci-fi dystopia films. I tried to get a copy of this when it was supposed to come out, but the movie ended up in licensing hell for 25 years and became a Canadian exclusive. I blame Joey […]
Animaniacs is on Hulu
Oh lord this was one of the best shows of all time. Bring on the nostalgia feels. Animaniacs on Hulu
Ka’Chava
Just ordered some superfood shakes from Ka’Chava. Seems like a pretty unique take on meal replacement and about the same pricing structure as most of the high-end shakes. I definitely need to lose some weight, and supposedly this starts in the kitchen. Meh, I’ll give it a try. If you order via my link, I […]
NoNo Man
Some rare gems of the 90’s should not be forgotten. One is Steven Jesse Berstein’s album Prison from legendary grunge label SubPop. Outlaw underground poetry with crime jazz remixes. I wonder if an album like this could happen today. This used to be the track on my alarm clock.
Neurological Benefits of Lion’s Mane
The verified health benefits of Lion’s Mane mushrooms is one of the reasons the west needs to step up their research in medicinal mushrooms. Of the millions of varieties of wild mushrooms only a handful have been adequately studied, and most of the promising research is coming from Asia, which already has a long history […]
The Art of Coop
Since I was a little skater kid and Coop got his first feature in Thrasher magazine I’ve been in love with his art. He’s still as prolific as ever and has some really cool webstores with all kinds of goodies:Caution NSFW (thankfully). As soon as this virus thing got out of hand, I went over […]
Ultralight and portable camp chair
Living in the mountains I am always on the lookout for new gear and this seems promising. An ultralight one-piece folding camp chair that packs to about the size of a water bottle. The price seems reasonable if you get it during their crowdfunding campaign and they’ve successfully shipped previous camp chair models. Check out […]
