From Urban legends to facts about technology, people & places.

Every building, person & invention has a story that may intersect with coincidence, synchronicity or serendipity.

From The_Ghost_in_the_Machine, to things in general, technology & reality always has the potential to be like a double-edged+sword. (-/+)

This is a blog network that mostly provides links to various web sites & topics. Its more like a reference directory & less of a place for my commentary. It consists of several links from people with various points of view. Thus, its full of data & speculation from a multitude of sources. While many parts of this blog are updated, other sections might just contain a few lines of information from first posting. Some of these sections may parallel, or intersect with other parts that are not always in a linear order. Anything can be dismissed as coincidence, or perceived as Synchronicity, depending upon ones level of awareness & curiosity.
