Life in a Box Chapter 3

Well, heck, looka here. If it isn’t the old Norton Street Contact Orb! I made this back in 2014 as a backup in case for some reason Second Life failed, but it didn’t. It’s quite healthy, with over a million users a day, and double the number of landowners from last year.

Still, it’s a nice backup, eh?

Thing is, you’d have to learn, actually LEARN, how to use it, how to set up a base and most of all, how to defeat your online barriers, of which there are plenty, not the least of which will be your server.

If you have a stable IP, you might do better, and I’d strongly advise it anyway, if you ‘re planning to make a living online, which if you don’t do, you probably won’t live very long, as a result of illness or starvation.

What good is a payroll tax deduction if you don’t happen to be on anyone’s payroll?

Contact Orbs are great for staying in touch. You can use the text messaging already in place, or you can add voice with a number of different options for vocalization.

Most folks prefer the texting, and I’m definitely in that camp. Continue reading

The Therapeutic Value of Work

Crushing Anxiety, Hopelessness and Despair are your Christmas gifts from the present administration. Donald Trump is doing everything he can to make you, personally, the target of his contempt and social pathology.

Even without Donald J. Trump and his mean-spirited friends, you’d be hard-pressed these days to get through the Dark Hours of the Soul, and if those Dark Hours are happening every night and well into the daylight, you need what I’m selling.

It’s not just your ordinary everyday run-of-the-mill snake oil, either. It’s something you make yourself, and you control your destiny in this regard all the way through the project. I’ll explain:

You’re sitting or standing around minding your own business, when all of a sudden, a million bad thoughts and worries and fears come crashing into your brain, just when you most need quietude and calm, serenity and peace. No matter what you do, it’s bothering you and it won’t stop. Continue reading

Edible Amulets???

You are what you eat, so eat an Edible Ammie for Courage, Knowledge, Love!

The very first Big Breakthrough in POD — Print-On-Demand — technology was the ability to print food-safe edible ink on a sheet of safe, edible dried frosting paste. This isn’t the first year we’ve had this — it’s now a staple of the wedding trade.

In fact if you think about it only a moment, the printed disk of dried frosting is absolutely the counterpart to the Heavenly Host, when properly transsubstantiated, although we don’t use the Eucharistic Mass or anything remotely like it.

Still, the Catholics have got the right idea — you eat what you want to bring into yourself, and presumably that would include spiritual energies and healing powers and restorative vibrations, yes?

The idea is that you eat the body of God and this brings power, health and happiness to you, although a hell of a lot of good it did for God.

So what? Big deal. I don’t need no stinkin’ badge. What I mean is, go ahead and be happy, be wise and be elevated to a great height, but how?

You are what you eat. That’s what they tell you. What if that were literally true? What if when you ate a wafer marked “Courage”, you all of a sudden felt courageous?

Suppose you ate a wafer marked “Blessings”, would you expect to be and feel more Blessed? Damn right you would, and rightly so!

Okay, so how about one that’s marked “Winning”, what if you ate that and hit big on the lottery? What I mean is, would you donate 10% to the community? You don’t actually have to do that, it was an irresistible half-joke, because of course we welcome any donation and most importantly, your participation in our activities. Continue reading

Website Flips How 2

Here’s an example of the perfect website for exploitation as a market flip.

Imagine what you can do with a website that is specific, just generic enough to get some interest from a number of directions, and yet it’s unbelievable that YOU got that website, that it wasn’t snarfed up years ago.

The answer is, of course, that it WAS snarfed up years ago — by me. I saw this coming, as you’ll note in “SlimeWars”, and predicted every single thing that’s happening now. It may be news to you, but it’s not news to me — it’s the same old story, told in a new way.

Okay, so what do we have here to work with? Continue reading

Crazy Nut Job Trump

MIrror Mimicry Works Wonders to Penetrate the Veil & Unmasking of the SIM

“Crazy Nut-Job Trump” is what they’re gonna call him when he gets taken away in a strait-jacket, and he more than deserves the name. All his wounds are self-inflicted. Nothing would have happened had he not gone on the attack and fired Comey, haw, haw — pardon me, Clarence, while I laugh.

And the most precious moment in the unfolding reality-show, “POTUS” came when we learned that the President of the United States actually confessed on camera to what looks like a high crime and misdemeanor to the casual observer.

I won’t go into details here, just suffice it to say that THE EXPERIMENT is going well. I’ll give you an important new exercise — new for you, if you’re not among the Initiates in our Order of High Dudgeon — which will help you to achieve the First Goal,

Unmasking The Sim

The Unmasking Process can be triggered by a simple application of an age-old mime and stage comedy technique called “Doubling”. I’ll explain how it’s done: Continue reading

POP QUIZ: Is Donald Trump the Reincarnation of Hitler, or Mussolini?

WARNING TO SCHOOL TEACHERS:

You can be fired on the spot for suggesting a comparison between Trump & Hitler!

Many teachers have been fired or suspended for suggesting a comparison between Hitler and Trump. Kids turn in their teachers for this offense. You can’t even suggest that they LOOK at it, consider it, think about it.

Donald Trump is now a “Forbidden Topic”. You risk death and disfiguration by merely mentioning the name in the wrong company, no matter which “side” you happen to be on at the moment.

It is now considered blasphemous to question The Donald, just as it was in 1933 in Hitler’s Germany death to question Hitler, and even worse to ridicule him.

Guess Right, & Win a Trip to the Gas Chamber!

That fact alone should nail it for you that there’s something going on between the two historical characters, Trump and Hitler. We can’t even THINK THE THOUGHT without getting fired from a tenured job?

You can be dismissed from your position if you even postulate the idea in a classroom of conducing some sort of experiment or inquiry.

That’s okay, soon you will be taken away if you utter that forbidden word, “Freedom” in public. Continue reading

HOW TO DESIGN A PROTEST VIDEO GAME FOR THE MARKETPLACE

HOW TO DESIGN A PROTEST VIDEO GAME FOR THE MARKETPLACE

“Do You Want to Play a Game???”

The voice rings out in the video arcade. Of course you do. What else? Stand around while others play? Wander outside? Of COURSE I want to play a game.

After a few dozen Billenia in the Void, you’ll start to wonder what they’re DOING in there, in the CREATION, and you’ll downscale into the world just to cop a peek, take a quick look, but WARNING, there is a definite danger here — GRAVITY.

As you look into the world, you’re pulled down, down, down, into it, and the next thing you know, BANG! There you are, incarnated again. It’s that magnetic gravity pull that does it every dang time, and you’re sucker enough for that gimmick that you fall for it again and again and again. Continue reading

Notes From My Desk

x
EJ Gold Awesome Graphite Landscapes, available in book form & signed art print .

For the past several weeks, I’ve been playing Diablo 2 for an average of 8-10 hours a day, broken up into two and sometimes three sessions, with breaks about every half hour to an hour, plenty of water to keep hydrated, lots of walking in between missions, listening to my favorite Press Keys, Herbie Hancock, Dave Brubeck or Charles Lloyd album as I whip the Diablo levels into a total frenzy with my combination punch — traps plus fire bombs from my trapper assassin and ravens, wolves and blasts of arctic air from my elemental druid.

The point is, when in combat, don’t dawdle. Pour it on as fast and as heavy as you can, with great efficiency and fervor, then dodge the return fire and do it again until nothing moves and all is quiet on the Western Front. In short, rain down death and destruction like some Hindu Gods I could mention, then have a sip of tea and do it again.

Yes, death and destruction. If you’re going to get into the God Business, you can’t be squeamish about what happens when a universe runs down from Big Bang to Very Very Dark and Quiet. There’s a lot of death and destruction in the normal course of events. Hundreds of micro-organisms die every year, and you wouldn’t believe the statistics in the vegetable kingdom.

So I’m knocking about in various modes, a wide variety of character classes, an even wider spread of character levels from level 1 to level 61, my highest ranking char in hardcore in this most recent run of ladder characters, although I have dozens more in non-ladder, going all the way back to the very first year of Diablo 2, about fifteen years ago, by my admittedly shaky reckoning — maybe 20 years, could be, during the course of which I’ve put in several thousands of hours of experimental game play, with the idea in mind of developing a course of self-study and self-mastery that used gaming as a basis, and that’s what I’m presenting now.

Atlantis Hacks, Cheats & Codes

You enter a blackout state after Mortuary, and when you awaken from this deep, deep sleep, you find yourself on an island in an endless ocean. There is a tall metal building ahead of you, which seems to be your only option. Continue reading
