Monday gifts -- 05/17/2010

I spent a lot of time writing my book instead of web surfing, so my gifts are not as numerous this week. My apologies.

A rather pretty bit of propaganda art, though I dislike a good chunk of Shepard Fairey's work in the way I dislike Che Guevara posters.


The politics of revenge. North is right, the short video clip is worth watching.

Dolphins are not as highly evolved as previously supposed. :)

Reactionless UFO Propulsion
EBTX has proposed a method of UFO propulsion that resonates with my theory involving asymmetric EM fields of this precise configuration to produce movement without thrust. Well done! I'm glad others with more knowledge are able to go far beyond my efforts.

Gnaural - Binaural Beat Generator
Binaural beats are interesting because when you hear them with headphones, each ear hears a slightly different frequency, and your mind synthesizes the resulting throb of their interference. It is said this can be used to drive your brain's activity into desired states (alpha, theta, etc.) Give it a shot! They're a little disorienting but eventually can be quite trance inducing. This application allows one to create their own schedule of beats, pitches, volumes, and pink noise. Of course, to get the best use of this one should do some research into what does what.

The history of the Fallout Survival Shelter icon

This really stunned me, "Not mentioned by the government attorneys in their memo is that an endnote in the 1946 edition of Hornung’s book explains that the triangular shape arrangement seen in “Fig. 349” is a representation of “an ancient symbol for the Godhead.”

See Fig. 349 here

I notice, too, that the Civil Defense icon is entirely Illuminati-like.

Why life sucks so hard - Best of 'you're doing it wrong' bits on ads.

On the other hand, TV ads offer a nice home for has-been stars.

Sauron now makes ads for TV! The PA Department of Revenue has a new TV spot, one that left me breathless.

But if you want to see the original copy, visit the PA Dept. of Revenue site, and click on Resources and Advertising > Advertising Materials > Watch Television Commercial, for the direct download of the video. Unbelievable.
