Storming the Reality Studio. DVD commentary tracks. Rivers and streams of Appalachia and the man-made horizons of East Coast sprawl. Zoology, forestry, and the bio-conservation movement. Robotics, simulacra, and artificial life. Experimental parks, gardens, and cityscapes. Trains, depots, way-stations, and automats. REM sleep and dream research. Pros and cons of the biotech revolution, of the transhuman restructuring of the soul. World cinema and grindhouse-wuxia splattercore. Medieval Gothic tryptyches and the graffiti on railroad bridges and highway overpasses. Marionette theater and stop-motion phantasmagorias. Shamanism and neuroscience. Beasts of logic and birds of paradox. The superiority of Aboriginal and Native American spirituality. The slides and traps of Gotham. The Sistine Chapel and Marvel comics. Ancient cartography and the digital imaging of virtual metropoli. Stone temples and adamantine hypercities. Totem, hieroglyph, and cyberdeck. Water, atmosphere, and the metaphysics of architecture. Xenoarchaeology and the Gnostic labyrinth. Masques of encryption and games of personae. Zen meditation and the cult of speed. Gnomic epitaphs and marathon exegeses. Baroque choral music and raging death metal. Mosh pits and classic jazz. Science museums and sculpture gardens. Astronomical observatories and electron microscopes. Cathedrals and abandoned amusement parks. The Bible and the Necronomicon. Ibsenian/Shavian drama and the White Wolf Storytelling System. The cosmogenic gazetteers of world religion and the search-engine of empirical science. Pranks, bluffs, endgames and nocturnes. Discovering what history, religion, art, and science have made of us. Stealth jets and prehistoric flying reptiles. Prison reform and the politics of criminal justice. Democratic eco-socialism and the soulcrushing leviathan of Capital. Community service and impassioned solipsism. Futurology and revisionary history. How "the street finds its own use for things." Film festivals and RPG conventions. Alienating the public with Lit-nerd esoterica. Being an indie film and documentary whore. Mentoring juvenile offenders (I shit you not). Doing philosophy. Answering children's questions. Wasting time online. Trying to control my bibliovoric, bank-account draining Amazon.com triggerfinger.
