Prescription Ecstasy and Other Pipe Dreams

2007-04-01T12:58:00.001+02:00

Here's an interesting interview on the status of psychedelic drug research worldwide called Prescription Ecstasy and Other Pipe Dreams. From the article:

"If MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies) has its way, the days of prescription psychedelics may not be too far away. For those who know the history of psychedelic research, this eventuality has been a long time coming. But others — who may only be familiar with the intense emotions and activities around the “War On Drugs” over the past several decades — may be surprised to learn how much progress MAPS has made.

Jag Davies is the Director of Communications for MAPS, a non-profit research and education organization that assists scientists to design, obtain approval for, fund, conduct and report on research into the healing and spiritual potentials of psychedelics and marijuana. He joined Steve Robles, Jeff Diehl and myself on The RU Sirius Show."

The 'Quirky' New Wave

Here's a well-written article on the subject of movies called The 'Quirky' New Wave. Some knowledge required, as director and movie namedropping occur. From the article:

"I, like most other right-minded people, hate the word 'quirky': it seems to lead far too easily to other distasteful terms such as 'wacky', 'zany', or even that most pointless of critical adjectives: 'weird'. So try to imagine my dismay when, time and again, I read reviews that consistently tar some of my favourite new American films with the quirky brush. What exactly does this word mean to these reviewers? And what is it about these films that makes them so quirky?"

Flashblock

Those blinking advertising banners all over the net can be pretty annoying, and the new generation of web advertising is flash-based, which has rendered good-old Adblock and similar countermeasures ineffective.

The Flashblock Firefox extension to the rescue. It simply gives all embedded flash animations a play button. Brilliant, actually.

Update: I have just been informed in a comment by Adblock creator Wladimir Palant that Adblock Plus also works with flash.
