It's along the lines of something that would be featured in Damn Interesting and it's about shortwave Numbers Stations. They're high frequency radio stations controlled by governments that broadcast data, either numbers, words, sounds, morse code or noise that is used with One Time Pads by secret agents to recieve messages. I've spent my whole day researching this stuff and it's fascinating. You can download or listen to The Conet Project,...http://democritus.livejournal.com/1082632.html (Untitled)- June 25, 2008 Wow, the smoke from all the fires is amazing today! Visibility is less than 14-12 mile. From street level you can't see any of the mountains around, even the close ones. It smells great, like a campfire, but the air is thick. It reminds me of one of my favorite books, Earth Abides, where most of the population is wiped out and fires are left to take their course in CA and other places and areas just fill with tons of smoke. It's neat, and eerie.http://democritus.livejournal.com/1082292.html WoW Stuff- June 25, 2008 I dinged 70 on my 5th toon yesterday. It's a tauren feral druid named...Democritus! I'm pvping with him right now to get all the season 2 arena gear that is now buyable with honor as of yesterday. I saved up enough honor for four pieces of the Merciless Gladiator's Sanctuary set, which is pretty awesome for tanking druids like me, because the resilience makes me uncrittable by boss mobs.

I listed all my toons in my profile with...http://democritus.livejournal.com/1081888.html (Untitled)- June 23, 2008 Man this weekend flew by too quickly. Friday we saw The Incredible Hulk, which was really good. Saturday we spent the whole day at the beach and I got a little burned, but not bad. Yesterday we got cheesesteaks and hung out at the pub then our house with some friends. I have a ton of stuff I have been neglecting at home and work and I really need to get on the ball but I seem to be having motivation problems. I did order all my reading material and sent off my registration for my first term.http://democritus.livejournal.com/1081841.html (Untitled)- June 19, 2008 Well, New Orleans was super fun. I have some good stories to tell. Sadly, in the meantime, I think I have contracted either cholera or dysentery from drinking out of my hotel faucet. It's either that or my stomach just could not handle the three shrimp po boys, two pints of vodka, crawfish etoufee, fried crawfish, tub of mayonaise, a muffuletta, 42 pints of beer, three pints of rum, red beans and rice, 1 lb hamburger with 12 lb of cheese, 10 pints of miscellaneous alcoholic beverages, 52...http://democritus.livejournal.com/1081592.html 06-16-08_2254.jpg- June 17, 2008 06-16-08_2254.jpgOriginally uploaded by DemocritusT-Mobilehttp://democritus.livejournal.com/1081174.html 06-16-08_2205.jpg- June 17, 2008 06-16-08_2205.jpgOriginally uploaded by DemocritusT-Mobilehttp://democritus.livejournal.com/1080967.html (Untitled)- June 14, 2008 Got in to NOLA around 10 last night, cruised Bourbon Street for a few hours before turning in. I will have a good story already for you when I get back!Today I cruised around the french quarter, got a muffaletta and rode the streetcar down St Charles. I'm going to head to Napoleon House for dinner in a bit then head over to Bulldog after.http://democritus.livejournal.com/1080633.html (Untitled)- June 12, 2008 Listen to Sigur Ros' new album in full, two weeks before it is released, on LastFM!http://democritus.livejournal.com/1080321.html |
