Disobedience was Man’s Original Virtue

“Every fact of science was once damned. Every invention was considered impossible. Every discovery was a nervous shock to some orthodoxy. Every artistic innovation was denounced as fraud and folly. The entire web of culture and ‘progress,’ everything on earth that is man-made and not given to us by nature, is the concrete manifestation of some man’s refusal to bow to Authority. We would own no more, know no more, and be no more than the first apelike hominids if it were not for the rebellious, the recalcitrant, and the intransigent. As Oscar Wilde truly said, ‘Disobedience was man’s Original Virtue.”

― Robert Anton Wilson

Photos from an Afghan Market

Amazing photo set. Reminds me of time spent in Abu Dhabi, UAE. All I wanted to do was sit in the market and soak up the ancient.

Water Messaging

Very cool use of water for transient 3D printing. I suppose that’s how best to describe this.

Somehow, I can’t help but me a bit nostalgic for this already. I’m sure this will be used to print company logos and advertisements for pimple cream in no-time flat.

Young Punk, Nightmare-style

All good things must come to an end. Yesterday Matt got his mohawk sheared off to an Uncle’s-wedding-acceptable buzz cut. Love that kid. Relentless. Unfuckwithable on the baseball diamond. How’d you like to see that mug firing fastballs at your kid? Monster of the Mound!
