Misc crap:

  • My Rulz, totally inspired by the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition and not at all by Robin's Laws, from an episode I've purposely never seen.
  • A crappy Speech Synthesizer that was already totally useless 30 years ago.
  • A Mourner's Mistake
  • Derivative world building: what started out as a ripoff of Dougal Dixon's fictional Sulfuria, that has since morphed into delusional pipe dreams about Venus.
  • Main Focus:

    PrimaryOdors

    We know how many primary colors there are, how many primary touch sensations, and have a pretty good idea about primary tastes. We know how frequencies of sound are detected and that our sense of hearing processes by pitch and timbre. But what about smell? I've dedicated the rest of my pathetic life to a futile attempt to unravel how olfaction is encoded and which notes combine to form familiar aromas, in order that I may fail spectacularly and obliterate any chance at justification for the mourner's mistake.


    Element Spectra

    Different gases electrified in glass tubes produce distinctive colors of light. So do metals when sparked, or their salts in a flame. I've obtained as many pure elements as I could, in order to visually observe and photograph their spectra. The result is a collection of spectra in the visible region, and in a few cases the near infrared, whose line intensities can at least be considered visually accurate.
