King of Techno

I recomend this to anyone. Amazingly well produced documentary about Bruce Haack. I never heard of him before but learning via this film touched the way I see everything. It just gets more and more captivating as it goes.
Oh yeah, but, it costs a $dollar$ to watch it online from Google Vodeo. But you can also rent it or buy it from Netflix.

Here is a link to where you can watch it online for a buck:

Elephants Dream

A 10 minute computer generated movie, very hi-def, very surreal. Watch it full screen.

Richard Schultes inetrview

It's broken up into pieces of video and written inetrview, but will be really fascinating for those interested in ethnobotany.

Academy of Achievment

Quote from the interview:
"We know that this resident spirit is a chemical substance. I have often told my students that I have never been invited at the theological school at Harvard to lecture. I am a scientist. If I am, I can go and draw the formula of these spirits, and that is more than any theologian can do with his gods."
-Richard Schultes

Have a Cthulu Christmas!

Incredible psychedelic comic

via Machine-Elf:
This story is what got me first interested in psychedelics back in 1985 and still resonates. I’ve never seen another comic that captures the quintenessence of psychedelics, while having a great story, and perfect dialogue. Writer Alan Moore went on to write Watchmen and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen before Hollywood butchered it… and had written V for Vendetta. He’s on par with Shakespeare.
I scanned my only copy, and spent hours adjusting the colors, brightness, and contrast so it looks better in some ways than the original. You may have to fiddle with screen resolution a bit, but every word should be read as therein lies the genius. The writer has an interesting style where he connects the pages with words that allude to other places in the
storyline, pure delight for associative thinkers.
The art is good too. The easiest way to view is to select View Slideshow, set delay for 5 seconds, and press Pause and Resume to advance each page. Max up the page (in the box in the upper right, go the highest that fits your screen. The View FullScreen works OK for Mozilla but Internet Explorer loads it slowly, once there press space to pause, space again to play.
You won’t be sorry.

Nice lecture on the symbiotic evotion of plants w/ other species

Some might deeply enjoy this lively lecture delivered at Berkeley by Michael Pollan called: Cannabis, Forgetting and the Botany of Desire.
He touches on the way plants use ingeniously diverse methods of evolution for controlling animals chemically through the animal's desires, and talks about Andrew Weil's '4th drive' of humans to change consciousness,,, the evoltuionary benefits of various altered states (such as the neurological necessity of short-term and long-term forgeting) and manifold other enthusiastic speculations. He's a gardening journalist turned mainsteam science writer with a widely encompassing education in psychedelic and plant-path principles.
