“For just at that moment the light came over the hill, and there was a mighty twitter in the branches. William never spoke for he stood turned to stone as he stooped; and Bert and Tom were stuck like rocks as they looked at him. And there they stand to...

I have discovered a wonderful place on the interwebs. A place much like CraigsList, but where everything is free. That place, sirs and madams, is called Freecycle. Essentially a forum of stuff that people have and are eager to get rid of (or stuff that...

Say sometime in the future we are contacted by a highly technologically advanced society (for the purposes of this discussion it doesn’t really matter if they’re mole people or extra-terrestrials). How would we react? How would our society change to...

There’s an interesting post by Harvey Freedenberg over at Beyond the Margins asking about whether book critics and authors can be friends. He eventually decides that they can be, but the part that drew my interest was when he discussed John Updike’s...

Today was one of the few sunny days in Seattle, which meant one thing for me: I could put my top down on my Camaro. Which meant that I could finally go and pick up a loft bed from someone on Craigslist. Now, I need a loft bed because I have oodles of stuff...

Part of the answer to the latter question from last week lies in the bible. Genesis 6 in the King James Version states “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to...

During the break a bunch of people came up to visit Seattle which meant that I not only got to see a group of great people that I don’t usually get to see, I also got back in touch with some of the Seattlites who came out for the group get-togethers. It...

So my Friday update for divergence is behind today, but I have an excuse this time. My roomie borrowed the internet by taking the modem and router to school, forgetting to tell the rest of us he was doing so. Unfortunately, he also forgot to bring them home so we are...

Perhaps one of the more interesting things about living in Seattle is the sheer amount of graffiti that abounds. And I’m not just talking about tagging (which I feel is the juvenile middleschooler of the graffiti realm), I mean interesting art pieces. Drawings,...

Picture by Peter TurosqLast week we introduced you to Skinwalker Ranch, a 480 acre ranch in Utah that has become synonymous with strange happenings. With the name comes an almost embarrassing number of theories on the cause, everything from Bigfoot enthusiasts to...
