Heart Of Gold
The fifth song in my album about my bookshelf is about Douglas Adam’s “Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy” and is a song about the drive in the Heart Of Gold.

#Bitcoin #Tarot #Podcast Price Analysis 13th July 2018
Last week Cosmic Conroy read the cards and found that we should make hay while the upcycle-sun still shines while analyst Charting Chad said that the price would likely bump then end the week down. Who was right? What grades did the judges give? Which is winning, Technical Analysis or Tarot reading? And what the…

#Bitcoin #Tarot #Podcast Price Analysis 5th July 2018
In this week’s Bitcoin Tarot Podcast, we introduce a new co-host, “Charting Chad” to add some conflict and drama to really get at the essential question of the show: Is technical analysis any better than reading the tarot? Chad will be making chart based Technical Analysis predictions alongside Conroy’s reading of the cards. This week…

Wordcloud Tarot – 4th Trump – The Emperor
As we progress through the major archana, the alien evolves. By the time we reach the Emperor, we have also reached stage two of the alien’s evolution. The emperor represents authority and responsibility and law and lots of other actual words rather than arcane pictures.
Wordcloud Tarot – 3rd Trump – The Empress
Giving birth to a whole new verbal-thinking tarot industry to supplant and disrupt the visual-thinking tarot industry is a huge task, but I am up to it. One card at a time. The Priestess represents motherhood and femininity among other things.
Wordcloud Tarot – 2nd Trump – The Priestess
Visual tarot readers will cower in fear at the power of the verbal thinker once they are unleashed upon the visual tarot reading monopoly. The Priestess is a book learner. She devours knowledge.
Wordcloud Tarot – 1st Trump – The Magician
When my word-cloud tarot deck revolutionizes the tarot industry and liberates it for those who think verbally instead of visually, I will use my powers for good. As does the magician, the first major archana (except for the fool, who is zero)
Wordcloud Tarot – 0th Trump – The Fool
Most people who try to make a whole tarot deck fail, because there are SO MANY. It takes half a lifetime. But I think maybe with this method I can eventually complete the project, and also revolutionize the tarot industry by freeing it from it’s reliance on visual associative thinkers and allow access for verbal…

Outside Context Problem
Track four from my album about my bookshelf is called “Outside Context Problem” and is inspired by Iain M Banks’ book “Excession” in which utopic luxury space communism society “the culture” maybe faces their own Outside Context Problem. Great book, here’s I butchered half a page of it. All the good stuff in those lyrics…

Profit Implies Loss
In order to avoid having to think about three dimensional vector maths, I have wasted half my weekend writing and recording a song inspired by Hagbard Celine, a person with whom I would have many deep political and philosophical differences if he were a real person. While also being broadly in agreement. My weakened RSI-riddled…

After successfully predicting a healthy week for Bitcoin, Cosmic Conroy brings you a new-look improved Bitcoin Tarot Podcast in which the cards suggest if Bitcoin can overcome its fears it will receive the just rewards of virtue.
Preaching to my choir
I never really believed the polls when they were predicting like half of all votes would be voting Tory, so I’m not sure there’s been as much of a swing as is reported really, more like a polls-error-correction. Through most of the elections I’ve been really aware for, there’s been little choice on offer frankly.…

Vote For Policies
There are many sites that ask you about polices and in return suggest who you should vote for. Any in a Facebook App are surely harvesting your data for their profiles. Any that don’t have a good privacy policy are basically just gonna sell you answers to marketing people. Any that don’t have a clear…
Existential comics
Existential Comics this week is easily one of their best. I wonder if that counts as interfering with the election? Not like in a CIA, way, not even in a Russia way, but more in a geek-in-the-basement way, which is easily the coolest. http://existentialcomics.com/comic/186
Zach still rules
This is what I want. The first bit, not the last bit. http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/final-wishes
I watch the election debate so you don’t have to.
An IRC translation of the election debate, written with prejudice. Mod: Look, this is still cool. We had them all last time. It’s like an elimination round. A spin-off show. This is like the Elections Little Brother or something. Intro Statements ======================= Green: After the war, we actually invested in our country and made all…
They Are Watching You
Lunduke’s presentation at some conference about just how much we’re spied upon these days was both entertaining and interesting. Crazy how much data they’re gathering these days. The Stasi would be very proud of us. If you ain’t paranoid, you should be.
Conniptions
Good times at a friend’s album launch gig tonight. Top new political songs and love the drummers tongue biting. You should totally check out the “Fit and the Conniptions” new album.
Blanket Studio
Because I don’t hear particularly well, I find it hard to believe that setting up the old makeshift blanket-studio is really worth it most of the time. But because I do *listen*, sometimes, I believe that it probably is. Blanket-sound-booth, pop-shield, decent microphone all set up ready to record some voice tomorrow. Will even turn…
Future of Journalism
The guy who brought you Wikipedia wants to try and crowd-source journalism too. Not sure that “protect your sources” in traditional journalism is compatible with a “See the source” view that the new organization wants. Not sure which is better either. Hard to imagine it being much worse than the modern billionaire-funded “journalism” though. Too…
Monbiot On GE1017
I would be voting Labour if I lived in a seat where that mattered at all. George is great here, and he finishes: “The choice before us is as follows: a party that, through strong leadership and iron discipline, allows three million children to go hungry while hedge fund bosses stash their money in the…
Rick-ality
This looks like it’ll be good fun for a couple of hours. Might wait till it’s on sale though, bit steep.
Charlie Stross blog discussion on #ge17
Today’s award for most interesting comment thread on the #ge17 goes to Charlie Stross’s blog, thanks everyone for taking part. Sorry Reddit, you were too partisan by far. Facebook, you are too filled with idiots and talk is too spread out among many links half hidden. Hacker-news, you didn’t even try having better things to…
Snap Election Pie
That was pretty quick.
Yet Another Election
There exist future worlds where the Tories fall short of a majority and some coalition without them is put into government. Which will be an entirely different kind of shambles. There are things which can be done to increase the amplitude of those future-worlds. We should concentrate on doing those things I guess, even while…
Trump Jamming
Naomi Klein is pretty insightful in this five minute video. The reason we demand politicians divest, is that they otherwise can be influenced by their holdings. So if they refuse to, it’s fair to go after their holdings. https://theintercept.com/2017/04/12/how-to-jam-the-trump-brand/
Rick And Morty S3
Well, that was just brilliant. Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon are ace. 🙂 https://vid.me/3Ljb
I see this having literally just finished my re-watch of seasons 1 and 2 of Rick And Morty hoping I’d time it about right for season 3. I’m very cliff-hanger-fresh right now. S2E10 was great. Again. How can it seem so short a time since I graduated university, yet so long a time since Rick…
