Saturday links


Nuts, I really wanted to know what Timothy Leary was campaigning for. 

Oz Fritz says you should keep a record of your incidents of synchonicity and your dreams. This morning I dreamed I got an interesting "Timonthy Leary for president" email. I was trying to read the list of the campaign committee members at the top of the email when I woke up. I had planned to share the email with you guys, but when I awakened I realized that would not be possible. Sorry.

Here are some other links:

Nice piece on David Carr. Good quote from Carr, "We all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn’t end any time soon.” Via someone on Twitter I don't know.  Her name is Amanda.

Radio documentary about William Burroughs, narrated by Iggy Pop. 

Download Ruby, a the "first cyberpunk radio drama."  On Twitter, Ian "Cat" Vincent says, "Free download: the first, coolest & Robert Anton Wilson-influenced cyberpunk radio drama, Ruby."

Why my cat is sad. I'M sad because my new Siamese cat keeps trying to bite my arm as I try to type this.

Tom, are you aware that Tim seriously ran for governor of California in 1969 against Reagan?

Part of his platform:

I didn't have the platform (thank you) but I did know Leary ran. "Come Together," the John Lennon/Beatles song, originally began as a campaign song for Leary. (As you know, Oz, Leary was present when Lennon recorded "Give Peace a Chance.")
