Life isn't as fragile as you think (for Obsidian)

How many of you remember the world-wide blackout that happened on November 19, 2007? Oh, come on. Huge terror strike at power plants all over the US? Saudi Arabia pretty much wiped off the map? No? Oh. Well maybe because that didn't happen in this universe, but in J.C. Hutchins' 7th Son trilogy.

If your puzzled with what I just wrote, catch up here. For the rest, know that J.C. has asked several folks to play in his sandbox, contributing to 7th Son Obsidian, a collection of works from many icons in the podosphere. And for some strange reason, he asked me to play.

So for all of you clamoring for another Cult Cast: here. And thank J.C. for it. Remember that it was written as if I were living in the 7th Son world, so some history may not be exactly as you remember it.

I Have No Time for That

Five O'Clocks Shadow 62

Today's five o'clock shadow is... A CULT CAST! Yep, it's been a long LONG time since I put one out. But now the office is ready, I had some free time and thought... why not?

If you're new to the CultCast experience, it's not what you are used to reading on the site. I'm a lot less nice. But hey, aren't all cult leaders? And no, I'm not looking for your money or asking you to follow. My cult is a cult of the willing. I need no sheep, thank you very much.

Today's lesson deals with the choices we make and the impact those choices make to our availability. Chances are, you need to listen. If you have time.

Politics and Religions

I wrote this before the elections this week, but decided to let it sit until afterwards. I'm not sure it would have mattered one way or the other, but... wtf.

Also, you'll note some new tuneage from George Hrab. Buy his stuff. He is that good....

I hate people

Hey! Look who's back? Maybe I should go to a once-a-quarter update schedule? Sorry. I'd say it won't happen again... but it will. And anyhow... I hate people.

Causes

My my my... how time flies. Yeah, well when you are as overcommitted as I am -- it happens.

Tonights lesson is on "Causes", great and small. Have at you.

I’m Smarter Than You

Well... maybe not you, but everyone else. A valuable life lesson for those followers of the Terraist way.

Doing Good Has No End

Inspriation strikes at odd moments and in odd places. And look! Only four weeks between updates. I'm on a roll...

Nationalism

Well look at the time. 6 weeks. That's a good update schedule. :) Nah, I'd like to make it shorter.

Today's lesson: nationalism. Thing big and small on this, and clear your mind. It's getting a little fuzzy in there.

Big - Part 2

Sorry we ran out of time on the last show. But I've only got 5:00 minutes of bed music, so I'm stuck.

We resume our conversation and reach the conclusion about thinking big, using your arm as an example. It'll make sense when you hear it.

Big - Part 1

From simple words of wisdom to the full timescale of the planet. This week on the CultCast, I'm talking about BIG things. And you should listen.

Identity

Can we ever know the nature of identity? How does a Terranary see his or her identity in relation to the larger world around them?

CultCast #1 is now available.
