  • When will the unquestionably converging IQs of point guards, quarterbacks, and chess champions meet up?

    If you treat intelligence as sufficiently multi-dimensional, and grasp how much of the human brain is used to coordinate our bodies, you see the chess champion may never catch up to Magic Johnson circa 1984.

  • Turntable + Raspberry Pi + Echoprint + Echo Nest = @VinylScrobble

    So, how to log what I am listening to on my turntable? Using most digital services I can scrobble to last.fm (though I don’t) but with vinyl there’s no such system. So I decided to make one.

    The set up is really simple, it only took me a couple of hours to get running and then a couple…

    I thought of this idea two minutes ago and a minute ago found that someone had done it already. 

  • But beautiful things are rarely perfect, and genuine things are rarely flawless, and the years keep coming at us, and if we can’t stand in front of the sunrise and throw our arms out and yell “COME AND GET IT” and love every inch of our stupid, fucked-up, messy selves, then what good is any of it?

    Come and get it, 2014.

    Scenes from L.A.’s growing magician problem.

    12-19-12, Los Angeles. New graffiti was found at L.A.’s George Carlin High School today marking a new height in the occult graffiti epidemic that plagues the city.  Said L.A. Police Commissioner Crowley, “They say the chalk washes away but that’s not the problem here.  The issue is that these sigils are made by amateur occultists who don’t always know what they’re doing.  They mean to mark their ethereal turf but several of these alignments are capable of awakening Samael.”

    Samael, last seen slaughtering the first born sons of Egypt, could not be reached for comment.  We at FIMJU wanted more expert testimony however so we invited the mummified head of Necromancer John Dee from its tomb in England for an interview. Said the archetypical wizard, “Where am I?  Why hast thou awakened me? Oh how I long to return to the sweet embrace of death, for my every moment awake is an eternity of pain!”

    Troubling words indeed.
