Here are some random links which have been accumulating on my desktop:

1. Anamnesis - a cool blog that I came across today, and which seems worth checking out in more detail.
2. Night Thoughts - a blog with some cool links which I came across because they linked to me.
3. Save The Males - a really fucking aggravating site which purports to expose how Feminism is all part of New World Order social control. It sounds like a fun whacked out theory, but just ends up being super-conservative and full of hate-mongering and bigoted queer-bashing, in my opinion.
4. Non-canonical Literature - Apocryphal writings from Christianity - ie, they didn’t make it into the “real” Bible.
5. GmailSwap - a site where people offer to give you different crappy things in exchange for a gmail invitation.
6. Monomyth website - it has a cool graphic. I can’t vouch for any of the content.
7. Coolmel - another new blogging buddy who stopped by and linked me. Seems like they’re blogging at a few different spots. I have yet to check them all out.
8. Pagan Connection - online dating website are bad enough, but these ones that cater to so-called “pagans” just crack me up to no end.
9. Ken Wilber - some spiritual author who that Coolmel person seems to be real into. I read a couple of his short articles that were recommended, but didn’t like them. Maybe I need to look around more though.
10. FreeYourBrain - this site has some interesting titles of its articles. But I haven’t read the articles. Maybe I will, maybe I won’t. I’m crazy like that.
11. Alex Grey on DMT - an interview with artist Alex Grey about his experiences tripping on DMT, which is the drug that is supposed to basically simulate a near-death experience. I don’t really like Grey’s work. I find it to be somehow hollow, although it’s pretty on the surface. Still want to read this interview though, but haven’t yet.
12. Looks like M. Night Shyamalan is getting sued over perceived similarities between his latest blockbuster, the Village, and a 1995 children’s book by Margaret Peterson Haddix, called Running Out of Time. Both have common plot elements. For me, whether the plot is plagiarized doesn’t really matter. I still liked the movie, and anyway, I think “culture” is really just a fancy way of describing centuries of plagiarism.
13. An article about a bunch of different famous scientists who smoked a lot of pot.
14. Why web journals suck: an essay - this guy makes a lot of good points about blogging and why the majority of blogs are fucking nonsensical boring trash.
15. Clifford Pickover - the dude who runs that RealityCarnival site which I added to my links list on the left hand side over here. He has a bunch of books about a variety of things.
16. GNU Privacy Guard - with the imminent approach of the all-pervasive police state, I think it’s time we all started thinking about privacy and encryption technologies in our personal communications with one another. This is an open-source free version of the popular encryption software, PGP.
