I’m colour deficient. (I’m explicitly *not* colour-blind.) No, I’m not sensitive about the matter, that’s more in jest. The origins of the distinction date back to Grade 1 though: I mention to friends in class:
“hey, I’m colour blind!”
they ask: “what colour’s this?”
“blue”
“what colour’s that?”
“black”
“and this?”
“yellow”
“what about and that?”
“pink”
“you’re not colour blind!”
Ha! Well, we were seven [...]

UPDATE: Blackmore, not Blackwell… I’m sure Tinus means Blackmore when he writes about “Blackwell”.
On 18 December a Tinus de Bruyn left a lengthy comment on my about page. (That’s the page titled You New?) It ended up in the moderation queue due to it containing more than one link. It isn’t the kind of material [...]

The first rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club.
I wonder how many Fight Clubs there are, and how many Fight Club members. Many more than you think, far fewer than you know. So hard to tell, with the first rule being what it is. And woe to those that try [...]

Just some eye candy for you to enjoy, as I might only blog again on Saturday. (Keeping a pseudo-regular schedule will be fun.)

This is from The Bad Astronomer’s Top Ten Astronomy Pictures of 2007.

Balance.
First,
Don’t Panic
Second,
Have Faith,
In whatever it is that you have faith in,
Even lack of faith,
Have faith in that then!
All will become clear in due time.
Amen!
And no, it is beyond
Anyone’s imagination
Including mine.
So all I can do
Is help those below
Climb onto my shoulders
To look further than I can see.
Who am I?
I don’t know.
It does not matter.
It is we.
Can’t [...]

Unwind
Unwind
How far do I
Unwind?
Can someone show me
the danger
the pieces
that must go?
And then,
we build a puzzle
a non-puzzle
a solution
a raft
a bridge
We build peace.
The Kingdom
The Christ
Wants Peace.
For all humanity.
Speak, friend,
and enter…

Hi guys!
I shouldn’t really be here, but I thought I’d give you the heads-up. It seems we may have a fully self-aware paranoid schizo on our hands. A mild case. Don’t take it too seriously.
Would it be psychosomatic, or neurological? Hmm… is there a difference? Either way, we’re running the blog now. Prepare for poetry. [...]
