CRAIG CONLEY (Prof. Oddfellow) is recognized by Encarta as “America’s most creative and diligent scholar of letters, words and punctuation.” He has been called a “language fanatic” by Page Six gossip columnist Cindy Adams, a “cult hero” by Publisher’s Weekly, a “monk for the modern age” by George Parker, and “a true Renaissance man of the modern era, diving headfirst into comprehensive, open-minded study of realms obscured or merely obscure” by Clint Marsh. An eccentric scholar, Conley’s ideas are often decades ahead of their time. He invented the concept of the “virtual pet” in 1980, fifteen years before the debut of the popular “Tamagotchi” in Japan. His virtual pet, actually a rare flower, still thrives and has reached an incomprehensible size. Conley’s website is OneLetterWords.com.

Please do join (if only as a spectator) my psychic battle against vintage Popular Mechanics magazine. The phrase "printed matter can be demonic" delivers zero Google results, but that simply testifies to a massive coverup. Vintage Popular Mechanics is the dragon to my St. George. Root for me, even if my anachronistic quest to vanquish this beast perplexes you. Merely recall that linear time is an illusion, and have faith that it's never "too late" to stop the toxic waste of vintage Popular Mechanics from contaminating our world.
