H.G.Murdock

At any given point, during any given day, approximately 90% of my brain is occupied by utter nonsense. This nonsense includes, but is not limited to: song lyrics, viral videos, news clippings, cat pictures, video games, smart-ass remarks, and inconsequential whining. As a result I often find it very hard to get any “real” work done. That’s what this blog is for. This is the place where I put the white-noise in my head to rest so that I can write something that actually matters elsewhere.

If you’ve come to this blog expecting deep thoughts, or inspirational quotes, or some kind of cheap Facebook philosophy, you can go ahead and click on through. It’s a big internet. I’m sure you’ll find what you’re looking for eventually. If you want to stick around and hang out you’re likely to find all the things listed above, mixed with random, barely coherent babbling about anything from breaking news to chocolate cake. Sounds like a good time, right? Right.

futurejournalismproject: @boonepickens just stunted on me heavy. Via Gizmodo: There has never before been a point in history when a young black guy rich off of Canadian soap operas and luxury super-rap could exchange words with a quasi-eccentric super-rich octogenarian who loves wind power. Now they can—in public. And that, simply, is awesome. Twitter: where world’s collide, and that’s a good thing.

It was Li Hung Chang, I believe, who said, “It is not what is said, but who said it that counts.” This truism explains why we have so many misfits sitting in judgement and clothed with power to rule over the destinies of others.

People are crazy and times are strange
I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range
I used to care, but things have changed.

I do not know if I am singular when I say that I believe there is no man with whom I can associate who will not, comparatively speaking, spoil my afternoon. That society or encounter may at last yield a fruit which I am not aware of, but I cannot help suspecting that I should have spent those hours more profitably alone.
Thoreau, Journal

…what passes for public debate is still, on closer examination, mainly repition of national slogans, appeal to popular prejudice, innuendo, self-justification, misdirection, incantation of homilies when evidence is asked for, and a thorough contempt for the intelligence of the citizenry.
Carl Sagan, The Common Enemy, (1988)
