  1. "Every side of pyramid (hill) is length of 365 meters. Number of that value is wierd because that is number of days in year."

    Did they use metres back then?

    someone said the same thing in the comments on the blog... mayaTitan (guy doing the blog) replied:

    ... the similiar results were when they have mesured number of some pyramids in mexico. They got 365. It doesn't metter weather is it a coincidance but, other proves show that those objects are not formed by nature.

    which, I'm assuming, implies each side is 365 meters

    I figure some guy named "Metre" had nice arms so they cut a cord the length of one of them and a unit of measure was born

  2. someone posted the following up on the local indie board, figured it couldn't hurt to spread the word on here

    Yoga with Ona - new yoga/cafe/gallery/etc.

    The lady who owns the yoga studio at Locke North and Peter St has opened a fair-trade café/patio, gallery and music venue.

    She’s looking for local artists and acoustic musicians to play on ‘acoustic Sundays’ from noon-4pm. Gallery openings are planned for Saturday evenings and daytime café hours currently are Monday AND Friday from 9:30-2:30.

    I told her I’d spread the word to the local arts community for any musicians or visual artists.

    She can be contacted at www.yogawithona.ca

    looks like a nice place... a friend of mine used to live in the building

  3. was reading about this (the pyramids) the other day... first pyramids to be found on the European continent (which was news to me... thought there were druid one's or something)

    blog and pics by someone who is there to check it out

    Begining of excavations was yesterday.

    First important informations were brought to me few minutes ago.

    By official reports imaginary triangle that is between 3 pyramides, like on previous picture, is one of those where all edes are same length.

    Every angle in that triangle is exactly 60 degrees mesured by profesional equipment.

  4. Freebie Finder

    my fear of being included on lists will keep me from using this much... but looks pretty cool

    Automated freebie finder discovers new freebie offers while filtering out pyramid schemes. Uses a special algorithm to scrape actual freebies while ignoring free iPod scams, etc.

    not perfect but seems to list lots of mostly valid looking free offers... fair amount of natural and alternative health/nutrition products that might be worth samplin

  5. still lost on the good ol Grateful Dead

    wide open to the next act I feel "means it" at a relative level to them

    hell of a lot of fantastic players, composers and songwriters out there I love too but few who come close to inspiring the same sense of something beyondness I still can't describe right

    moe certainly can play like muddafuckas but don't sing about anything I can relate to unconditionally... or really even remotely, in my meager experience... what the hell are those guys talking about?

    Ween I get... for moe. (and most Phish) I feel like I need to change myself to hop on board 100%

    apperently I need a Ween show, since that slipped right out... with a Ship of Fools encore, preferably

  6. if things seem alarming to ya, I don't think it makes one an alarmist... the state of the climate definately alarms me... and our snowballing abuse of it

    my sleep deprived thinking has me at maybe this publicized Kyoto dis-interest is good in at least it has brought the project under scrutiny... good intentions or fluff its shown it isn't proving itself pertinent enough to garner the support, even among the voting public, it'll require to achieve positive results... looking back you'd figure it was designed hoping to bring a blatantly unsympathetic US leadership on board which probably led to too much compromising (Bush has thankfully changed his tune since first outright dismissing global warming altogether)

    at the very least the effort needs a name that doesn't sound like a Sumo wrestler choke hold... something that reflects the necessity for dedicated co-operation and serious economic reforms (think money is the real problem, no one wants to stop making as much as they can so they can build a hurricane proof geo-dome... with a robotic vacuum device, ultra grande jacuzzi, seven-dimensional surround sound and an 'authentic' mediterranean kitchen... and a USB disco light, of course)

    discussing it made me notice the wisdom of self imposing apathy when you're pretty much powerless to affect something... good to think things if it grabs ya but essential to know when its out of your hands

    and whaaaatever the hell I was talking about an hour or 2 ago before I forgot I was writing this

    suffice to say glad I thought more about the state of things and recognized it could be good for a shakeabout

    The men who create power make an indispensable contribution to the Nation’s greatness, but the men who question power make a contribution just as indispensable, especially when that questioning is disinterested, for they determine whether we use power or power uses us.

  7. during WWII half the 'global community' was the axis of evil. i think it's important that a country is able to speak up and argue the merits of a particular case. where we get into trouble with all of this is over the balance of power, and that considering the US holds the majority of it, are really unable to "argue" anything.. rather they just do as they please and the rest of just stand back and watch, like chumps.

    well banding together to try and save the planet which we all need intact in order to survive is a little different than faxists trying to conquer the rest of the planet whilst eliminating the poor jewish folks... one cause is obviously necessary and the other was an act of greed and madness

    Canada has a reputation for doing the right thing that has gained us pretty universal respect... if we ignore Kyoto I'm sure others will lose heart and follow suit... thats a reckless move without some sort of better Plan B in place

    the US is up to their eyeballs in problems right now and the UK definately ain't what she used to be... not sure thats the ship I want to exclusively commit the country to join up with

    Harper's plans so far feel like steps backward, not forward

  8. sorry birdy, that wasn't meant to come out harshly

    I don't hate Conservatives, gimme Joe Clark any day

    Kyoto at least represents a large portion of the planet attempting to work together on something that affects everyone... when the States said no to it, most other countries were pretty stunned... they can get away with that though because they're the big cheese right now (see signature below)

    maybe Kyoto isn't working very well yet (I think its an enormous project that'll take decades to have a serious impact) but its good to at least be giving the appearance of being on board with the global community

    cutting back on studying alternative fuel sources and wind power just seems insane to me

  9. no bubbles burst here... but I don't believe all politicians are as bad as the next... like saying all teachers are cruel... some teachers aren't

    Kyoto rollbacks, authors being told not to speak publically about sensitive topics and marijuana decriminalization getting axed are pretty recent developments (and strongly mirror American policies under the Bush administration)

    yes bad things always happen under any and every government... these happen to be current and particularly unpleasant things to me... I respect Canada because we generally tend to be fairly tolerant and conscientious... these developments seem to disregard both of those qualities

    I don't care who's in charge... authors should be allowed to speak freely, Kyoto was at least a step in the right direction and I don't think people should live under the threat of prosecution over how they like to relax
