POPSFaster PC startup? Just happened upon this looking through archives of WindowsSecrets.com. Download the program and am giving it a try. I've got a pretty good PC but it still takes a long time to load. This might help some. On the other hand, what is the strange sense that speed is so necessary? Few want time to go so fast that they will die within a few hours.

POPSAfter Art Bell's wife, Ramona, suddenly died Ramona died suddenly last January. Whitley wrote this in memory of her. Very moving piece on loss. Something that probably only has the greatest meaning when death comes close or when one is older.

POPSUFOs on video Whitley Strieber was on Coast to Coast AM a few days ago, talked about this. Also offered the interesting idea that the ETs are of a different dimension and we can't see them because we don't believe they are real as a table or a car is real. Gov't is not disclosing their reality because to do so would announce their reality to all, and that would open a gate, a stargate, and once 'they' were here, there might be totally unexpected consequences from that. Fascinating concept. Real? Hoax? Are we creatures of amazingly limited intelligence and imagination or do we know all, see all? This stuff fascinates me just like a first rate sci-fi novel does.

POPSInteresting tid bit of history: C Isherwood I attended a lecture by Isherwood in 1966, at Rio Hondo College, Whittier. An older friend told me to go because Isherwood had known everybody. Very interesting. When he said he lived in Hollywood he got some groans and polite catcalls. He responded, "Well, the water's always muddiest around the well." And someone asked him who his favorite American writer was. "Jack Kerouac," he said. More groans and catcalls. (Jack was being forgotten and looked down upon at that time.) He was surprised at that and went on to tell the audience how he admired Kerouac's optimism and and the wonderful energy of the novels, painting a glowing picture of one of my favorite writers, too. I wonder how many people read Isherwood today.

POPSGreat Links to Great Info This looks very good. I was so pleased to find LIVE links to the BBC documentary "Power of Nightmares" which is no long on the BBC site.

POPSIs nothing sacred? My god, next they'll be telling us that smoking tobacco is bad for us! But to speak cereally, I've been vaguely aware of this for years and have just started looking more closely. Not a big consumer of soy products, mostly soy milk for my cereal but I'm switching to rice milk. Actually I think its too late anyway, that the "body burden" as its called, the chemical burden we all carry now and will continue to carry in increasing amounts (all over the world, all peoples) will dovetail with the upcoming general social/economic upheaval(s). Are we doomed? Not as long there's cable TV.

POPSCrack Intel Agency Makes one wonder: the U.S. got out of Opium Poppy Land (Afghanistan) very quickly, to topple the WMD madman Saddam, so who is bringing home the heroin bacon? Could organized crime (the left hand of government) also have influence the Iraq decision so as to capitalize on the uber-millions of the poppies? Oh, wait: this is the U.S. of A, not some Banana Republic, is it?

POPSSolid 9/11 essay Well thought out. I hadn't heard of this group, 911Truth.org. Grassroots meetings throughout the U.S. I think.

POPSPayPal phishing scam I just got a phishing email from "PayPal," a first for me. Searching around for more on it I came across this site, which looks like it has promise as a good bookmark and a good one to sign up for the newsletter. Apologies for this being old news if it is indeed to any of you.

POPSCompassionate Conservatives? By gum, they have to cut something to get this fiscal disaster under control! What's a little brain injury compared to being dead anyway?

POPSimponderable for the day... Well, I just got home from weekend vacation in Santa Cruz, CA. All for my 13 yr old daughter (and her friend): an entire day at the boardwalk. My brief time there (leaving my hardier wife to oversee the young teens) was enough to fry me, the crush of people, the intense noise. I went once on the Big Dipper, very fun, but at my age (60) and my body (always hurting) the thrills were edging into pain and injury. Then the 6 hour drive home, cramped up, mustering all my powers to navigate California's crumbling, crummy and dangerous roads. So it was very nice to open up my dailyzen to see this quote, reminding me to look for my own hands and feet!

POPSWhere Matt has been. This is really a neat video. What a great idea and the best part is that he approached Stride gum (Cadbury Adams), apparently, with his idea to do this and they footed the bill, or some amount of it. I really liked it when the Rwandan children joined in his dance and the group in San Francisco. Somehow, just somehow, joy must transcend so much of the world of suffering.

POPSQool quotes I've used free dictionary before but never had seen the homepage. Looks quite the good place to browse for those who love language and info bits.

POPSWhat's in a name? I like the idea (and am writing a book featuring this idea) of personal branding, i.e. in the future we'll all be TomPepsi or MaryToyota or NikeJim. Everytime our corporonym is spoken we'll get a small royalty.

POPSMayan calendar & you in the mythos I came across this site during a search "define castle." The castle here is the calendar. If you have any interest in the Mayan calendar and the mythology you'll probably really like this site.
