After severe head/brain injuries in November (see here) S. Clay Wilson is out of hospital but needs help towards medical and rehabilitation costs. There are details of benefits for him in and around the Bay Area here, and also an address to send donations. If a PayPal link happens, I’ll include that later.

check this + and this +: hoax or stunt the thought is in the air. (And was, thanks to MD, via Justin:

A transformer designed to utilize the slight, wasted energies such as:
the excess of pressure on an electric switch.
the exhalation of tobacco smoke.
the growth of a head of hair, of other body hair and of the nails.
the fall of urine and excrement.
movements of fear, astonishment, boredom, anger.
laughter.
dropping of tears.
demonstrative gestures of hands, feet, nervous tics.
forbidding glances.
falling over with surprise.
stretching, yawning, sneezing.
ordinary spitting and of blood.
vomiting.
ejaculation.
unruly hair, cowlicks.
the sound of nose-blowing, snoring.

on report

The past two months have been idiotic, frustrating and grim for us here: but the light has been family and friends. So, our thanks to Lloyd Raworth and Hannah More for instantly taking us in; to Ben Raworth and Victoria Greaves, Bruno and Belinda Raworth, Aram and Ruth Raworth and Cato Raworth for constant attention and help; to John Wilkinson and Maud Ellmann without whose generous hospitality these past four weeks would have been impossible (and to Dr.Ulrich Muller for graciously sharing space); to Tom Pickard, Thomas Evans, Pat Coyle, Clive Unger-Hamilton and Cordellia Chitty for offering shelter; to Andrew Robinson for driving between London and Sussex several times to deliver and collect us; to Ian Patterson and Jenny Diski for driving us around in Cambridge and for pleasant companionship; to David Ball, David Southern, Dave Cook, Miles Champion, Nicole Peyrafitte for generous offers; to Keith Tuma for quietly being practical; to Justin Katko, a scrupulous publisher; to Alex van Someren for friendship and legal advice; and to all who have written and telephoned. To anyone I might have missed in this insomniac ramble, my apologies; and imagine my chagrin when I remember.
Into the blue today. See you all sometime.
