    Creepy and cool art that can melt your face into your phone!

    If you ever saw someone’s face literally melt into their faces, then you will appreciate this artwork from French photographer Antoine Geiger..

    I saw the artwork originally on CREATOR’S PROJECT.. 

    The report,

    “The project came spontaniously,” Geiger tells The Creators Project. “All of a sudden I would be on the metro or in the museum and feel on my own while it’s crowded. I could literaly see people’s faces melting on their screens, like their identity was being lost in the non-space of technology, like the spacial dimension of the present has been outstretched.” A bit of post-processing in Photoshop, and his eerie feeling was visualized. 

    The photos are chillingly weird and actually quite real–you can almost envision the melting of someone’s complete emotional existence into their smart phones..

    HERE IS THE ART WORK .. it’s awesome. 

  • The famous Mojave Phone Booth gets re-famous

    The famous Mojave Phone Booth gets re-famous

    It’s not an urban legend, but sure has the feel of one..

    Imagine a phone booth. Tucked in the desert.. in the middle of no man’s land.. And the phone is ringing–people from around the world are calling.

    And someone answers.

    It’s all true.

    There is a famous story of a phone booth in the Mojave Desert.. It had a different area code in 1997 when it first became famous. Now it’s 760-733-9969 ..\

    It was installed in the 1960s, and it’s eight miles from the nearest paved road, and fifteen miles from a highway.

    According to REALITY, it was originally installed to provide phone service to miners. Of course, paranormal chatters and purveyors of creepiness don’t like fully told reality, so it’s cooler to think the whole thing was a mystery.

    There was a surge of traffic and calls to the booth after a 1999 LA TIMES story detailed the Mojave phone booth. From that pre-turn of the century report:

    The craze began two years ago after a high-desert wanderer noticed a telephone icon on a Mojave road map. Curious, he drove out from Los Angeles to investigate and wrote a letter to a counterculture magazine describing his exploits and including the phone number. After spotting the letter, computer entrepreneur Godfrey Daniels became so captivated by the idea he created the first of several Web sites dedicated solely to the battered booth.
    Since then, word of the phone has been beamed to computers virtually everywhere.
    It has evolved into a worldwide listening post straight from the mind of a Rod Serling or a David Lynch, captivating countless callers.


    Last night on Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, the whole notion became famous again. Lewis was chatting about the notion of space, and making a call to the wild dark wonders of the universe in hopes that someone would answer. It compared it to the Mojave phone booth.. He gave the number out on the air, as did people on his Facebook page, and the calls lit up quickly.

    I called myself a few times today.

    At one point I heard someone proclaiming Jesus’ love for her.. a few moments later I called again and heard someone having a complete mental breakdown.

    I talked to someone who gave himself a somewhat dirty name.

    And I also heard strange voices and people pretending to be freaky and creepy.

    It was good fun.

    Tonight the conversation was more interesting, with Ground Zero fans coming together to speak about issues, get to know each other.. and just talk.

    In our NET world, it’s fun to actually talk to someone. That is the theory of Periscope and why, I believe, it’s so popular so quickly.

    And perhaps the Mojave phone booth can be the same.

    For those wondering, you’re not calling a phone booth anymore.

    As reported in 2013, The Mojave phone booth’s number, 760-733-9969, was acquired from the CLEC by phone phreak Lucky225 on July 31, 2013 and now rings using voice over IP. Originally, callers joined a conference where strangers could once again connect just like when the phone booth was active..

    And now, lots of people are rediscovering something that became somewhat of a strange bit of lure and legend of the desert back in the 90s..
    All over again.
  • Untitled post 13005

    The science world rocked.. The space world changed.. and a view we had of Pluto has been thrown out the window by the reality of what the New Horizons has found.

    This is amazing..
    Exciting.
    New mountains of youth.. formations of a planet (or drawf planet) still ongoing..

    Pluto and the moon Charon have virtually no craters. 
    It has 11,000 foot mountains of water ice. 
    The moon Charon ‘blew the socks off’ of scientists …
    Pluto’s heart shaped area had then sentimental.

    And all the while I keep pondering whether Richard Hoagland is right about an ancient civilization inhabiting all of the planets of our solar system.. No word on whether the big old library was found on Pluto, but it sure seems historic things where..

    There is a good article from BLOOMBERG here summarizing this.. Some more links:

  • How to find the origin of a quote on the Internet. In the matrix

    How to find the origin of a quote on the Internet. In the matrix

    I read a link posted by George Knapp on Facebook and Twitter tonight to a website called Educating Humanity. The link describes well respected people who say we may be living in a simulated reality. A matrix.. Just like the movie version..

    This quote, in particular, was present:
    Rich Terrile, director of the Centre for Evolutionary Computation and Automated Design at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has spoken out about the digital simulation.
    “Right now the fastest NASA supercomputers are cranking away at about double the speed of the human brain,” the NASA scientist told Vice.


    “ If you make a simple calculation using Moore’s Law [which roughly claims computers double in power every two years], you’ll find that these supercomputers, inside of a decade, will have the ability to compute an entire human lifetime of 80 years – including every thought ever conceived during that lifetime – in the span of a month.
    “In quantum mechanics, particles do not have a definite state unless they’re being observed.
    “Many theorists have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how you explain this.
    “One explanation is that we’re living within a simulation, seeing what we need to see when we need to see it.
    “What I find inspiring is that, even if we are in a simulation or many orders of magnitude down in levels of simulation, somewhere along the line something escaped the primordial ooze to become us and to result in simulations that made us – and that’s cool.”


    While searching for Rich Terrile’s actual quote in VICE (the aforementioned story didn’t link the VICE article), I found YOUR NEWS WIRE declaring this headline: Universe A Matrix Computer Game Designed By Aliens, Say NASA

    Now, with all due respect to YOUR NEWS WIRE, one scientist speaking doesn’t proclaim NASA’s official position. And even more, if you read then quote displayed originally by Terrille, he said that some theorists have claimed this and that he finds it cool. As do I..
    But…
    Terrile didn’t proclaim we are all simulated and fake. And it certainly didn’t warrant this headline from another strange site I found called ST THOMAS AQUINAS VS NASA (real stuff) .. They went as far as calling this scientist insane for saying that some people say something that other people have always contemplated.
    The UK EXPRESS fishwrapper over in the UK also did its part, saying that a NASA scientist said we ‘May’ be living in a matrix. Even though he entertained the thoughts only of others, as I said.. With a keen eye, you may notice the text of the EXPRESS article is the same as the others.. which means someone copied off of someone. And with the net, it’s tough to tell if the chicken or the egg came first. In this case, the quote or the highly copied story reposted and reposted all over again.
    But finally, all of these stories regardless of who the first one to write it was, all mentioned that Rich Terrille was interviewed by VICE .. and that is where all sources are deriving the quote about the simulated matrix notion…I thought about this long and hard, and something was telling me I heard this all before.. Like I read it before. Like maybe I was in a simulated matrix and someone kept rebroadcasting the same link over and over again. So I checked the COAL SPEAKER archive and realized hat this quote was printed on my very site in 2012!! Years ago..
    So did I someone hear it before St. Thomas who hates NASA did? And the Knapp linked site? And the EXPRESS?
    No.. I Checked
    VICE actually had an article in 2012. Proof here: http://www.vice.com/search?query=terrille … and even more interesting, the VICE article THEN quoting Terrille actually talks about a show he appeared on in 2010: THROUGH THE WORMHOLE..
    So … that would mean all of these websites TODAY featuring this quotation as if it’s new are actually repeating news from 5 years ago. Think of it like this: If you were in your matrix, bought a car in May 2010, you now own your car. But also there is a good likelihood that your car was fixed at least 6 times and had way too many things happen to it, causing you to doubt your reality and hate your existence. But you also most likely had the chance to go to a car dealership and eat their “free” popcorn while your car was looked at by professionals, who told you that your car was ‘done for’ and that you should be a new car. And you’re going through it all over again.
    All in this matrix.
    But the theory is interesting, don’t get me wrong. I think about it often.
    The offensive part, to me, is how the internet has a knack for repeating and regurgitating articles simply for click porn. Especially when higher profile people link it without realizing that it was first reported in 2012. And 2010.
    All in the matrix.
    All by sims.
    On earth.
  • WITH A SPLASH OF LIGHTNING…

    WITH A SPLASH OF LIGHTNING…

    Give some credit to the Russians.. This is a lightning bolt that was used to start the Soviet Era Tesla Tower.. It’s been dormant for some time. But now the little ‘Tesla Tower is complete,’ as said in a voice of Emperor Palpatine. The video here.. Amazing.
