“Lem singled out only one American SF writer for praise, Philip K. Dick – see the 1986 English-language anthology of his critical essays, Microworlds. Dick, however, considered Lem to be a composite committee operating on orders of the Communist party to gain control over public opinion, and wrote a letter to the FBI to that effect.“

Sounds right-wing.

Way better than I expected.

I have met Dr. Lipson.

Curtis, let’s find a calc book.

I will always love this song; ah, to be 15 again. Actually, I wouldn’t want to be 15 again, but if I was ever as angsty as I was then, Hum will be there for me.

The firm that does the Dos Equis Most Interesting Man in the World campaign. What I like most about this campaign (besides the Chuck Norris factor)  is the line “I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.” The campaign hits the mark with young male audiences, but also builds the brand.  A guy as bad as this dude would drink hard liquor, from the cask. They call attention to the absurdity of the character’s mystic, and elevate the brand to a cult pedestal. Very well done.

Also cool is Google Earth’s Mars and Stars stuff.
