  Let us never forget! It was Slim Whitman's yodeling rendition of "Indian Love Call" that  ultimately repelled Martian invaders during the administration of James Dale [Jack Nicholson] in 1996 . His sound  is  unearthly - like a human Theremin. Truly, a close call.

This is probably about the greatest show I ever saw.

The universal touchstone of vocal emotion sounds out in the Balinese Monkey Chant. This strange (to Western ears) musical tradition has piqued the interest of many an outsider: witness troupes of Burning Man participants working up their own Ketjak. This is schizophonic non-assimilative appropriation according to one scholar. Funny, I never thought of it that way. Too many anonymous performers in this mix to identify exactly who and when, but still, it is apparent a farfisa organ out of the 1960’s from anywhere on earth is a sound that delights.

  Sat Evn Rvw of BW 1 - Crypto and its brethren DeFi is on the run, and taking fire - it's happened before. Is something different now? A good bet is that things will settle, the players will change places, and then carry on. https://t.co/AtscKDvPUB #DeFi #BusinessWeek — Jack Vaughan (@JackIVaughan) May 22, 2022 Read the above which is part of a series of 7 or so tweets. Or read the below...copies of tweet text.  Crypto and its brethren DeFi is on the run, and taking fire, but this has happened before. Is something really different now? A good bet is that things will settle, the players will change places, and then carry on.   It seems, just as Uber and AirBnB found a way to set up shop and unseat regulation, crypto found it too. A little mystical chatter about blockchain or scaling helped fog the screen. With government so unfavored as it is today, the coast is clear.   Dan Berkovitz, a former commissioner at the Commodities Futures Trading Commission a...

[May 12, 2022;  3:55 pm EDT ] - Astronomers unveiled the first image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and, yes, it looks like a donut.  By the standards of typical humans, it also looks a heck of a lot like M87, which in 2019 became the first black hole to be imaged. The similarities buttress key theories of physicist Albert Einstein.  There are differences too. This one is different, being smaller, and closer to home. It's shorter width and shorter remove mean it is more besotted by obscuring cosmic dust particles - they fuzz and blur resolution. Today’s find – actually, it was imaged in April – is known as Sagittarius A*. It was identified nearly 50 years ago as the nearest supermassive black hole candidate and became among the most studied astrophysical objects there are, according to researchers writing in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. Both black hole radio images came via  the Event Horizon Telescope project, which uses ad...

Kentucky Derby 148 - Rich Strike scratched in to the race the day before - and many handicappers probably didnt even look at his past performances. Watch the horse in red and white with red-hatted jockey at the very far left, number 21. The gate opens and Rich Strike enters the fray almost leisurely and scoots at jockey Sonny Leon's direction toward the fence behind the rushing sea of horses. As the pace heats up in front he trails, but remains to the inside and in position at the final turn where the rail is open. The two favorites begin vying closely, and Epicenter seems to have it over Zagnut. Oh there is one lagging railer in front of Rich Strike, but Leon guides him around that one as you would deft switch in front when lines when line 4 opens at Safeway. There is some surprise in Joel Rosario's visage as Rich Strike comes through at 80-1.

Moon Herald Traveller offices (center) It took some time but the world has gradually come to awareness that the Internet is – among other things - a shroud of disinformation. For some it really hits home -- perhaps no one has experienced it at first hand as has former President Barack Obama.  Unfortunately, the spotlight dimmed quickly after his recent speech on Technology and Democracy at Stanford University. There, he outlined the problem as he saw it. His analysis of the problem was thorough, tho his suggestions for solutions mostly stumbled. “I might never have been elected president if it hadn’t been for websites like, and I’m dating myself, MySpace, MeetUp and Facebook that allowed an army of young volunteers to organize, raise money, spread our message,” he said. “That’s what elected me.” That grassroots movement, and the apparent transformation of the Arab Spring, cheered many. But social media’s “unintended consequences” later came to the fore. Today “we see that our new i...
