28 October 2011 is when the cosmic bounce occurs. I like the idea of a cosmic rhythm, a universal pulse. Something like your heartbeat, of the regular spinning of earth or earth circling the sun every year. But bigger and more complex in the unseen dimensions, the world of gravity and emotion. On a universal …

Victory! Or shame?
Gaddafi is gone. That’s good. And right. Gaddafi is dead. Maybe that’s not right. Almost inevitable in this world. But it was not the best we could have done. The evidence streamed around the world of a battered, bloodied old man, interspersed with rejoicing is an embarrassing show of primitive instinct. All male. Guns. Blood. …

Feel the cosmic rhythm.
Most of us ignore the spiritual dimension. The pressures of daily life, the pursuit of material objectives, the desire for new things and experiences take up all our thoughts. But sometimes we feel the invisible. We have empathy for another. Or we reflect on friendships, family or love. Perhaps we feel fulfilled by a religious …

What Is the Meaning Of Life? 1 or 0?
So, I’m in the middle of resurrecting my computer after it suffered a fatal bout of Windowsitis, and while letting off steam to my dad have some unexpected insights based on an IT metaphor. I was testing three operating systems (OpenSuse, Kubuntu, Vista) and a virtualisation tool. It was glitching at the multiboot setup – …

BBC: US-India ties ‘to define century’ No doubt. And for all the right reasons. Like geopolitical balance and the cosmic rhythm. Other relationships will define the century too.
God, the universe and everything else
God, the Universe and Everything Else is a good documentary interview from the 80s – watch it if you can. Back then Stephen Hawking and others tried to integrate their beliefs with their science, though as with many of us who are interested in the meaning of life, the idea of god was adapted to …

Uncyclopaedia, the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Actually its quite insightful and funny. Reminds me of Yes Men or Onion. Worth a look for a reality check or when you’re searching for the meaning of life. For Example: Earth (or The Earth as it is known by its self-absorbed inhabitants) is the third planet …
