Status of dreamtome.com

Monday, January 29th, 2007

For anyone interested in the status of dreamtome.com — I saw at least a few Google search keywords referrals to here — I posted a quick notice on the dreamtome site itself:
For anyone who’s curious, I would like to set up dreamtome again (I made a complete backup the last time before I had to […]

List: Books I Never Finished Reading…

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

(…but would, one day, like to)

Far Journeys by Robert A. Monroe
Man and His Symbols by Carl G. Jung
The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene (strangely, I stopped reading this just as it began going into String Theory for some reason, probably because it was all way over my head)
Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard (purely for personal […]

Hemi-Sync Lucid Dreaming, Days 2, 3, 4

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Just as an update to a previous post, I had tried the Hemi Sync Lucid Dreaming set of audio recordings some more over the last couple of days. It definitely hasn’t done much. I think with school and work, and my always changing bed-time schedule, it’s impossible for me to use this properly. While it […]

Random Thought: Activation synthesis theory during wakefulness?

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

According to James Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley, Activation-Synthesis Theory briefly suggests that dreams are the result of random brainstem activity which the brain then interprets into thoughts and patterns that can be understood. There is also another theory that suggests dreams are the production of (mostly) random memories that are tied together, like with […]

Free Music… That’s Guilt-Free

Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Just the other week I somehow discovered a site called Jamendo (probably from an otherwise lame Digg “article”), which offers lots of great music. The catch? Well, it’s free! And I don’t just mean, “I use Limewire to download the newest Britney Spears album” free. All music on Jamendo is released under a Creative Commons […]

On Hemi-Sync Lucid Dreaming, OOBEs

Monday, January 22nd, 2007

It was only a few months ago that I was pretty much obsessed with out of body experiences (OOBEs). I had just finished reading Robert A. Monroe’s Far Journeys shortly after his original Journeys Out of the Body — the latter I found far more interesting, but both good reads. As soon as I read […]

Skinny Puppy - Mythmaker

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

Before I came across a copy of Skinny Puppy’s new album, Mythmaker, last night, I hadn’t listened to them for going on at least 3 or 4 months. Not for any particular reason. I mean, I bought the live DVD when it came out last winter, but I just hadn’t given them much listening time.
I […]

Recording Segment 1

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

So last weekend I finished recording the first segment of my album at my less-than-ideal “home studio”. I’m pretty happy with the way it turned out, albeit not even close to what the final product will be like.
It’s only about four tracks — three guitar and one bass. It’s certainly repetitive, but I’m going to […]

Welcome!

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Welcome to version four million of my personal blog. This time I’m actually going to write to it regularly, I swear!
Anyways, I know the layout is pretty lame, especially considering I’m a professional web designer, but I just couldn’t come up with anything spectacular. However, I’ll certainly update it once something nice pops into my […]
