in general

This is a blog that mostly provides links to various web sites & topics. Its more like a reference directory & less of a place for a lot of personal commentary. This blog is full of data & speculation, news and entertainment from a multitude of sources. While many parts of this blog are updated, other sections might just contain a few lines of information from first posting. Some of these sections may parallel, or intersect with other parts that are not always in a linear order. Anything can be dismissed as coincidence, or perceived as synchronicity, depending upon ones level of awareness & curiosity.
