Iron Sky
Hey.. Here's an idea.
What if the Nazis had secretly developed their rocket technology to the point that they could send a man into space?
In Iron Sky, the new movie from the creators of Star Wreck (a Finnish language spoof of the Trek) Nazis have been living on the dark side of the moon for over 50 years and are now preparing their invasion fleet of flying saucers to return to Earth.
Filming begins next month.. Hopefuly this has nothing to do with fractals or syncromystisism.

Goodbye Benoir
I don't know why, but when I heard this news today I thought about watching Scanners again.And it gets weirder.. After a quick search on YouTube another name pops up; Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a student of Mandelbrot's fractal theories who uses mathematics to predict market trends in western economies (predicting the stock exchange.. sound familiar?). There are numerous interviews of both men predicting a massive economic collapse back in 2007. One interviewer asks them if it will be as bad as the great depression. 'More like the American Civil War' they agree. Taleb also wrote a book entitled 'Black Swan' the same year which uses chaos and fractal mathematics to explain what he calls his theory of 'Black Swan Events', the way seemingly out of nowhere shock and awe events can effect and mould society and markets. I don't know if you know this but Aronofsky's new movie is called 'Black Swan'. And I'm not even joking right now I decided to google 'The Eraser' and the same time 'Paranoid Android' starts playing randomly on my iPod. I'm going to bed!!

H. R. Giger Revealed
Sup?
I was genuinely a bit weirded out by the fractal thing.. Not because it makes more sense the more I think about it, but because the idea is considered so 'out there' compared to more 'rational' explanations like an all powerful Sky God or cosmic chances comparable to winning the lottery millions of times in a row. I'm not 100% sure how to take Dawkin's 'work'. He and his devout following are forming an organised religion just as up their own arses as any other. The Sir David, however will have to knock on my door and punch me in the face to lose my respect after all the great work he's done on the goggle tube. As usual, the truth is somewhere in the eye of the hurricane with a wailing shit storm of opposite opinions swirling around it. It's hard to accept that it will never be known because we're all such egotistical prats, but I'll get over it.
I think I'm in love with the Burtos Renaldos or whatever. I agree with the comments about the Bo Ningen vid but I still like the track (don't you fucking kai). Been listening to Waits' Blood Money this week to prepare me for the festive season. I have the great joy of putting up Christmas decorations at work this weekend. Bag 'o shite.
I found this site promoting a new(ish) retrospective DVD of Giger's work today. Lots of info and some clips of his work which have been animated. Nice site! Check it out.

Down Beat
Bo bbins! the studied posing and calculated, syncronized jump into drumkit left me cold.
Some cunts have watched Ringu too many times, nicked my nan's patchwork blanket and are trying too hard....tedious pricks!!!
Burt Reynolds are the real thing.
TerraFractal
As always McKenna, Sheldrake & Abraham (The Grandfather of Chaos Theory) have something to say on this.
It would certainly make sense that earliest life forms here mirror the fractal arms of Galaxies and the obvious mathematical language of universe. Which for this blimp points to intelligent design. Why can't evolution be a program in the software of intelligent design? Which leads us to Dawkins & Att-man. Did you notice David looked like an albino, silver back gorrila taking a grumpy shit at the feet of Dawkins on the recent Gurdian (Weekend) supplement cover (Sept 11) with Cox & Hawkins? (Which all trace of has vanished from the internet on just having a look for the 'missing link') Ironically titled 'Gods of Science', i wonder why these heavily funded patrons of consensus reality make it an either or position...oh, did i just answer my own question?

Pi in Your Face?
Watch Pi again.
I've had a few 'Close Encounters' moments this week.. Without the mashed potato. All signs point to my DVD collection.
I recently watched a TED talk by Ron Eglash titled African Fractals which was pretty impressive. It's admirable that there are people like him out there doing research into left field subjects which all too often turn out to be of incredible significance once we begin to understand their meanings. Who'd have guessed that as far as history records, African villages have been constructed as fractal forms?
Next, the Red Ice Radio podcast from way back in 2007 with Jake Kotze. I'm currently (slowly) working my way through a 300 hour download of RIR. This week I listened to Kotze mention Darren Aronofsky's "The Fountain" and "Pi" while discussing (you guessed it) syncromysticism. In particular the idea of the fractal as the 'life code' which is the repeating theme in "Pi". The Tree of Life which is featured in "The Fountain" also appears in evolutionary science as a fractal diagram showing branches of the evolutionary process.
Last night I was listening to the Guardian's excellent science podcast with David Attenborough and Richard Dawkins discussing various points including Attenborough's current, soon to be published research on the Pre-Cambrian, the period before multi-cellular life on Earth spanning seven eighths of the planet's history. Rare fossils from this period were recently re-appraised by Attenborough and others who have now proved them to be evidence of the first complex life forms.
The connection?? Oh yes.. The newly discovered Pre-Cambrian life forms are fractal.
