For a while now, & even though I use it to describe myself, I've been bothered by the term 'raw foodist'. This breaks down to three main reasons: It implies that I only eat raw foods (ie, I'm 100% — & possibly militant about it at that) It misses the whole point of raw (more on …

Being a busy Thursday, I decided what better to do than bugger off out of town & head to the local mountain/forest range. (Some) locals call these "the nongs", but officially they're the Dandenong Ranges. It's about an hours drive east of where I live. Anyway, they're green, and, you know, mountainy. That's all I care …

I was chatting with my sensei this evening, and he told me about a party game he learned. I'm sure this is as old as the hills, but it was new to me, and I found it more than a little eye opening. So, I thought I'd share it with you. First of all, grab a …

I had a weird dream last night. So, as usual, I tapped on it. Thing is, I could feel that while it was helping, it wasn't really getting to the root of the problem. In my dream, I dunno, I was in this weird war zone — kindof. I had a gun, there were people out …

A week or so ago I got rid of my final cooked food addiction… or so I thought. I'd been reading a really interesting thread on Give It To Me Raw about being addicted to cooked food. At the time I was eating all raw.. except for going out for hot chips, ohhh, 2 or …

I decided a sunny Saturday afternoon was the perfect time to try durian. I'd had a small bite of one before, but was now determined to try the whole thing. Choosing, buying, opening & hopefully having enough nerve to actually eat one. I steeled myself to the distinct possibility of getting part way in & …

I've been giving a lot of thought to how we attract people into our lives — who we end up in relationships with, and so on. This applies both to intimate relationships, and more importantly friendships (since we generally have far more & are less discriminating with friends than lovers) It's pretty obvious (in hindsight) …
When I was in my early teens, my mother 'encouraged' me to do three things — take up an instrument (guitar), learn a language (French), & do gymnastics. I pretty much sucked at all three of them. I was talking to a friend yesterday about doing some chanting (in Sanskrit) — the thought of which freaked …

Post humanism is, essentially, what it will be like to be "more than human" — ie, what are we going to evolve to next. This could be purely biological, purely mechanical, some kind of nano-tech, or a combination of the lot. Transhumanism is more or less synonomous with "human enhancement". This is the stepping stone to …
