While I was giving my talk at CIA Headquarters in October, I managed to obtain some rubbings of the mysterious Kryptos sculpture in the main courtyard. Three of the four encoded sections on that sculpture have been cracked, but the last 97 characters are still unsolved. If this is something you're interested in working on, check this link for more information about the sculpture, as well as scans of the rubbings that I obtained. CIA Kryptos Sculpture |

This is one of my favorite surreal sites on the web. Be sure to check out the section on "Basics of Semiconductors" and look at the graph on conduction and valence bands. Britney Spears Guide to Semiconductor Physics |

This site has a series of fascinating graphics showing the links within and between certain terrorist cells. It's from a study that was done about the social networks between the Al Qaeda terrorists. Very intriguing stuff, and I recommend a look. Uncloaking Terrorist Networks |

Kaiju Big Battel is a modern conflict of epic proportions. Unbeknownst to most humans, planet Earth is under threat. Scattered throughout the galaxy is a monstrous mob of maniacal villains, menacing alien beasts, and giant, city-crushing monsters that are waging war against one another, their flared tempers and petty disagreements erupting into bouts of intergalactic fighting and senseless acts of violence. Presiding over this mayhem is the Kaiju Commissioner, an enigmatic human-arbiter appointed by a clandestine cadre of world leaders to regulate Kaiju rage. If the Kaiju Commissioner doesn't do his job - or if civilization isn't careful - the entire world could get caught in the crossfire. Kaiju Big Battel!!! |

Aphex Twin will release a double CD on 24 March containing 26 remixes spanning the last ten years or so. It includes two previously unreleased Aphex Twin tunes Windowlicker (Acid Edit) and SAW2 CD1 TRK2 (Original Mix), a piece taken from the Selected Ambient Works II era. ... 26 Mixes for Cash *snicker* Trying to collect most of these tracks over the years has been fun. Nice that it's finally all coming out on one compilation. Now if he'd just re-release the HAB series on CD I'd finally call my collection complete. Vinyl transfers just aren't as good as master transfers... Oh there's also news about a new Autechre album on the news page. Aphex Twin 26 Mixes for Cash tracklisting and release date |
