Welcome. To start a new era in the history of this blog (and my own life and head and everything), I gotta release all the bookmarks that I’ve stored away in the past 12-18 months (some 350+ links) thinking I just need a few hours and I’ll write mega insane amazing thematic posts. No. Not gonna happen. I know the structure is very minimal and this is too dense but you gotta fight through the gorgeous bits of knowledge, buckets of cow eyes, Cthulhu sex toys, girls twisted into Gundam mecha, various methods for brain hacking and whatnot. Note: I am still looking for a tool/app that would synchronize all my Google Bookmarks, Google Reader Bookmarks, Chrome bookmarks and Twitter favourites. As a welcoming gift, there’s an Atari Teenage Riot – Iggy Pop – Nine Inch Nails mashup for a quick appetizer. The rest doesn’t swallow easy.
