Thanks to Elephant Bitterhead for saying, "I LOVE these lists. They are poetic, profound, funny, sad, everything at once. They remind of tarot or the I Ching. Whatever you need, it's in there somewhere."
The only solution is to:
- sprout a pair of wings
- phase out the signal
- make the bucket bigger
- turn the machine off and leave it alone
- sedate them
- involve the community
- be disconnected and re-dial
- destroy the system and start all over again
- lighten the load
- make your home appear to be untenanted
- replace the damaged piece
- overthrow it and then poof...that's it
- abandon the dogmatic idea
- re-write the subroutine with higher precision
- grin and bear it
- prove them wrong
- drop the notion of total divine inspiration
- invent something different
- make the best of the material at hand
- limit the amount of information available
- accept the defeat and wait quietly for the positive forces to lead you
- reboot the system
- stop talking altogether and uses sign language
- do a backup for yourself
- travel off somewhere away from everyone

We're honored that Gordon Meyer, of Smart Home Hacks fame, reviewed our book Bullet Lists:
This book is:
-
- Unique
- Clever
- Succinct
- Astonishing
At first glance, this book is just what the title says — a collection of unordered lists. (Or, as regular people say, “bulleted lists.”) But, what exactly are these lists?
When you ask yourself that question, and pay close attention to the contents of this book, the breadth, and depth of research put into this publication takes your breath away.
Let’s back up. Google has an “autocomplete” feature that (often, hilariously) attempts to finish your query for you. It’s the Google AI guessing what you’re going to type next, based on what previous searchers have looked for. (And, thus, providing a disturbing glimpse into the soul of mankind.)
Bullet Lists is sort of like that, except that the author, Professor Oddfellow, has collected, compiled, and collated these lists based on primary sources. The result is not what your idiot neighbors have wanted to know, it’s what your fellow writers have put into print. (To be fair, they might also be idiots.) But this is a big and important distinction, and much more interesting. (Sorry, Google.)
At the very least, you have to appreciate the organizational prowess and persistence it took to compile this book. However, if you give it a chance to sink in, there’s a lot to savor. Get your copy at the Amazon.

Thanks to Sigfus of Sweden for saying of our audio version of The Minimalist Coloring Book: " What a mesmerising video you’ve created! And I love your way of bending the language into magic words of visions, lots of pictures are floating through one’s inner eye. Superb, professor!"

***** [5 stars] This small (108 page) book is a gem in its own right, a distillation of twenty-four books of the dead from around the world and across the centuries. Books of the Dead are unique in that they act as guidebooks for transition and are filled with mythological archetypes. Somehow, when I think of books of the dead, I am reminded of late-night TV stories from my youth about Egypt and mummies. Scary stories that we all loved to watch! ... In his introduction, Professor Oddfellow notes many guidebooks for the dead presume that death is not an ending but a transitional journey, that requires attentive planning. He references Ptolemy Tompkins (from “The Modern Book of the Dead”) as noting that those who hate and fear death are unable to live happily, while for those who think the right way about death “life loses that gloom and becomes something entirely different: something larger, stranger, and infinitely more promising and positive than we might ever have imagined.”
Professor Oddfellow states that books of the dead are really action-drama-fantasies, with a cast of characters, theatrical journeys, and more. (Remember those late-night TV shows!) They are metaphysical in origin, rich with mythological archetypes that offer a wonderful window into human psychology.
This book is divided into four sections: Ancient and Classical Books of the Dead, Modern Books of the Dead, and “Fictional” Books of the Dead.
In his afterword, Professor Oddfellow addresses the two most mystical manuals for guidance in the Otherworld: The Tibetan Book of the Dead and The Egyptian Book of the Dead.
There is also what to me is a very magical appendix that addresses the Tarot as a book of the dead.
“Books of the Dead” was intended to act as a book-reader collaboration, to inspire a deep intuitive understanding of afterlife guides, and to connect with what Jung termed the “both-and” philosophy of the Universal mind. It has accomplished this … and so much more!

This is not a book that can be easily put down. ... The content is accompanied by incredibly interesting illustrations. ... This is a learning book (a book that teaches), but the reader will see it as interesting information that presents itself as many different ways of looking at the soul, and how it is defined. It is a tool of growth and a tool of personal power. The reader needs to come with an open mind to be able to experience the joy that is to be his within these pages. ... I recommend this book for readers that are interested in how the soul is interpreted by many different cultures – it is eye-opening, and a very gentle read.

We're honored by DJ Tundra of Patronus Records, who praised our clockwork cover of The Cure's "Close to Me": "AWESOME work in the creation of this rendition and in the artistic way in which you really made the song your own. And the music video adds greatly to the overall allure of the production and is done so very well. A sensational audio/visual experience!!"
