It Had to Be Done

Ray Drainville

Behold the wonder of the Museum of Selfies. Look upon its works, ye mighty, and despair!

So very, very good. I love it when someone takes art & twists its intended meaning so well.

Then again, is this really twisting the intended meaining? After all, what is a selfie other than an expression of putting oneself in the centre of the action, and ensuring that one looks one’s best? Apart from the rather important distinction that few of these works are self-created works, there’s a virtually invisible line between the selfie & the representation of patrons & important figures.

Parallel Universes

Ray Drainville

The subject of the multiverse—the possiblity that there are parallel universes, of which we are completely unaware—is a fascinating one. Philosophers have discussed this, too. To my untrained eye, it seems a way to flesh out the idea of “all possible worlds”. But they’re completely theoretical. Or so you’d think.

So imagine our surprise when my wife & one of her PhD students came across a portal to one of those parallel universes.

Spooky.
