What's So Great About Goats Anyway? or
More Goats for K5 04/02/2005 11:03 PM
Goats are wonderful animals, not least because of their close alliance with Satan, all-powerful Lord of Darkness to whom we give all obeisance. With their amazing horns, fantastic hooves and spectacular goatees, goats really are strong contenders for being the greatest animals ever. Want a farmyard pet that butts into things? Get a goat. Want an animal reputed to eat tins though it probably doesn't really? Get a goat. Want an animal that bleats like a sheep yet knows its own mind? A goat is your ally, my friend, just like it is Satan's ally in all things. Within I have collected some of the foremost examples of goat-related pages from around the web, as well as some marvellous pictures of these truly awesome and delightful creatures in various attitudes of repose or non-repose. What more could you ask for?

Get more Goats

Get more Goats 05/21/2004 02:14 PM
If you were reading this blog earlier this year you may recall my recently kindled enthusiasm for the music of The Mountain Goats. This enthusiasm has not waned as I have explored the back catalog of this "band" of (mostly) one. It has, if anything, waxed.

As I wrote about my delight in this discovery I uncovered the existence of kindred spirits here at Salon, including our jack-of-all-trades editorial operations director Max Garrone, who swears by "The Coroner's Gambit," and our Renaissance-man IT support manager, Jim Fisher.

Perhaps you've read some of Jim's in-depth reportin g for Salon on technology and the environment, or some of his great poems that we've published. (I'm not the only one who thinks highly of his work; he has recently won a prestigious Stegner Fellowship at Stanford.)

Anyway, I learned that last year Jim had written an in-depth critical essay on the music and lyrics of the Mountain Goats and John Darnielle. For various reasons the essay never got published in Salon. It is perhaps of more interest to those already hooked on this work than those not yet familiar with it. But the piece deserves a home on the Web, so I've published it in this blogspace, here.

Jim's piece was written months ago, at the time of the Mountain Goats' release of "Tallahassee." Earlier this year saw the release of "We Shall All Be Healed." I'm not sure Jim agrees with me on this, but I think that album fulfills the prediction at the end of his essay of an "all-studio masterpiece" from this artist, much of whose previous work was recorded direct-to-boombox.

The Men Who Stare At Goats

The Men Who Stare At Goats 04/07/2005 10:17 PM
David Pescovitz: I just finished reading Jon Ronson's latest non-fiction book The Men Who Stare At Goats and it was brilliant, absurd, scary, deeply freaky, and lol funny. The cover of the book says it's a story "about what happened when a small group of men--highly placed within the United State military, the government, and the intelligence services--began believing in very strange things." Some of those odd beliefs include: psychic spying (aka "remote viewing"), Jedi powers, subliminal sound weapons, and the ability to kill an animal just by looking at it (hence the title). As demonstrated in his previous book, "Them: Adventures with Extremists," Ronson has an amazing talent for seeking out individuals on the fringes of reason and enchanting the reader with their (truthful?) tales of high weirdness. Forget any questionable conspiracy theories about the US military--the truth is far stranger. From the dust jacket:

In 1979 a secret unit was established by the most gifted minds within the US Army. Defying all known accepted military practice - and indeed, the laws of physics - they believed that a soldier could adopt the cloak of invisibility, pass cleanly through walls and, perhaps most chillingly, kill goats just by staring at them. Entrusted with defending America from all known adversaries, they were the First Earth Battalion. And they really weren't joking. What's more, they're back and fighting the War on Terror. 'The men who stare at goats' reveals extraordinary - and very nutty - national secrets at the core of George W Bush's War on Terror.

Sunbeams, Rare Goats Edition

Sunbeams, Rare Goats Edition 06/18/2004 05:41 PM
First up, a couple of posts on SunRays, from Jeff Dillon and John Clingan. They are indeed pretty neat, although when, earlier this week, I was at SunLabs in Massachusets, it took the little grey guy a couple of minutes to find my Sun desktop which lives in Santa Clara and render it the first time; but then it was fine and snappy. Danese Cooper has a straight forward explanation of why CEOs probably aren’t going to be blogging any time soon. On another note entirely, Jim Waldo writes about the impedence mismatch between how engineers view the world and how the world views engineers. And just to get out of geek mode, Richard Elling has notes on the word “war� and nice pictures of rare goats that he rescued.
