Algaculture is the cultivation of algae for various purposes, such as waste management and pollution control, or crop production. These crops can be anything from high-protein foods such as spirulina, gases such as methane, oxygen and hydrogen, or oil suitable for use as biofuel. According to available statistics, oil yield from algae is in the […]

I do my best to avoid being a parrot. There are too many blogs out there that just recycle the posts of more popular blogs and never develop a voice of their own. It is unimaginative and opportunistic in much the same way that ‘me too’ replies were (are) in the times of usenet. […]

if you’re a performer, make sure you own a pair before you go onstage.
I saw Nine Inch Nails play last night to a nightclub literally packed to the rafters with about equal parts emo squids and the ageing faithful. The venue was smallish, maybe 2,000 fans all told, but atmospherically perfect for a NIN gig. […]

I was walking through a park yesterday on my way to beat some people with a stick when I happened to notice a guy kicking a soccer ball with his kids. Actually I noticed the guy almost take the face off his 4-year old with a kick that must have missed by millimetres. Smiling at […]

Shibari, or more accurately kinbaku is descended from the ancient martial art of hojojutsu. It has a fascinating history, with various styles of restraining a person being used depending on factors like their social status, the crime committed, physical size and strength and the likelihood they may attempt escape.

Doing the easy thing is rarely doing the best thing.
The average occupant of the first world will inevitably bullshit themselves into a life of mediocrity. That’s why they’re average. It’s too easy to convince yourself that there’s time to do it later. I’ll exercise tomorrow. I’ll put that new jacket on the credit card, it’s […]

I suppose I should be grateful that I don’t have to worry about constipation. Using the toilets in my office block is guaranteed to give me the shits. Taking a crap is a reasonably simple exercise. You position yourself over your chosen receptacle, squeeze, pinch, wipe and get the fuck out. If your receptacle is […]

There is a clearly recognised need to find alternatives to the fossil fuels that contribute heavily to global warming. One of the many viable substitutes is palm oil.
Palm oil biodiesel is a renewable fuel that burns cleaner and provides comparable engine performance to petroleum diesel, is non-toxic, biodegradable and may even cause less engine wear. […]

Looking through the list of things people type into search engines along with the keyword ‘asian’, I was unsurprised to see that almost all of it was porn related. Less than one term in every 500 was filth-free. Now, I haven’t tried typing ‘american’ or ‘african’ or ‘european’ in to see what proportion of those […]
