DNA music

March 25th, 2002 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

DNA codes may be protected as ‘music’: “The plan is to convert a DNA sequence – the order of the four chemicals that form the genetic code of a plant or animal – into a piece of digitally encoded music that can then be copyrighted like any other tune.”
Let’s turn this around for a moment and consider what a DNA-string would look like had it been constructed from such tunes as, oh say Hungry Freaks, Daddy, or G-Spot Tornado, or The Black Page!…

Dehydrated Water available at last!

March 24th, 2002 • Dr Sharleena

At first I thought it was a joke, but it seems that you really can buy it in Buy Dehydrated Water.com.
Dehydrated water is compact, lightweight, easy to store, and perfect to take wherever you go.
And best of all, it contains no calories nor any fat.
They even accept credit cards and paypal payments.
Cool!

Miserable Melodies: Experience little known vocal talents of such greats as Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner, Burt Reynolds, and even Jack Webb. Happy listening…

Operation Clambake

March 23rd, 2002 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

Operation Clambake, known for its activism against the Scientology Church, has been censored by Google. The site is now indexed again, thanks to the big noise made by independent webloggers across the world.

As per the good

March 21st, 2002 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

As per the good Dr’s request here are Mike Keneally’s 1988 tour diraries. Be warned, it will take about a month to read the whole thing. It does drag on a bit and you will learn way too much about Mikes diet, but this is the most detailed and informative behind the scenes account of life on the road with Frank you will ever see. For a shorter but equally interesting read check out Mike’s self penned bio where he tells (among other things) the story of how he got the job playing with Frank. For those of you out there still unfamiliar with Mike Keneally and Beer For Dolphins……. FOR SHAME!!! Get some of his CD’s, truly fantastic music, not to be missed!

More on names and

March 21st, 2002 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

More on names and lists: this MSNBC article recommends searching for yourself online to see what the net knows about you. “Two week ago, MSNBC.com shared the story of Donna, who looked up her name in the Google search engine and found her own credit card number posted online. Inspired by that piece, readers have been searching for information about themselves online with alarming success.”
I did a search and find out my name will be placed on the STARDUST spacecraft, which will visit Comet Wild 2 in 2004 (!!!). It seems my credit card numba won’t appear there -I hope so…

I just came across

March 20th, 2002 • Barry's Imaginary Publisher

I just came across this list of entertainers blacklisted due to their “offensive” views. Offensive to Republicans that is. Read on past the list onto the following comments. My favorite has to be, “McCarthy was right.” Jezus, people scare the shit out of me sometimes.
