Crappiest Mix Tape Ever
2 responses, Aug 13, 2008I have compiled the worst songs I can remember from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. They represent the shame of humanity. I hope you won’t enjoy them. Note: Some of the lyrics are explicit (see Lil Jon, for instance), as some of these soulless hoodlums haven’t learned propriety, but I do not endorse their vocal horrors; I document here for historical purposes only.
Mushrooms to Save the World?
No response, Aug 03, 2008A friend of mine pointed out this TED talk with Paul Stamets, who claims there are six revolutionary ways mushrooms can save the world. Mushrooms can restore soil, break down hydrocarbon waste (plastics, oil, etc.), function as antibiotics and pesticides, and even create ecologically sustainable sources of fuel.
The soil is our friend and this is good stuff.
Stamets also has a book, Mycellium Running, that is high on my reading list.
