Arkansas Hillbillies Speed Up
1999-06-11 20:50:30
Methamphetamine have become the drug of choice for people that live in the Northwest corner of Arkansas - according to a two part special report published in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and posted on Arkansas Online.
Bad hillbillies have switched from drinking and making moonshine to shooting and mixing Meth. The DEA, Arkansas police and a dozen other agencies have joined together in an attempt to fight this trend, but if I know my hillbilly, this is just more federal money being pissed down a rat hole in the name of Drug Enforcement. These hillbillies have been making 90 proof home brew since man first walked in the Ozarks and decades of Revenuers and G-men haven't been able to stop them from making their high test, bad tasting whiskey. So it seems unlikely that they will stop them from making Methamptetamines in the Ozarks.
The cops called their most recent sting against the "Meth Monster" Operation Daycare as it seems many hillbillies like to use their kids diapers as a hiding place for this illegal drug or bring their children along when they buy or sell drugs. Like I said, these are Bad Hillbillies.
The surprising thing is that with all the "local" knowledge in liquor production you'd figured that this area would be self-sufficient when it comes to producing its own chemicals... but that is apparently not the case. Massive amounts of methamptetamines are right now being produced in the "super-labs" in super cool Southern California and shipped via Interstate 40 to the backwoods of Arkansas. Go figure.

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

Three Days and 25 Spocktails: A Cautionary Tale
Johnnie Royale picked me up from the dental surgery. I felt warm, safe, cradled in the anathesia's loving embrace. The pharmacy downstairs gave me a bottle of Vicodin and a few instructions: take it with food, don't mix with alcohol, don't operate heavy machinery. I put it in my pocket and we left. "Do you want to go home, or do you want to go to a bar?" asked Johnnie. (More...)

During a magnificent sunny day in a fast receding autumn, the Spock Science Monitor reporters once again blew the playa dust off of their computers and covered the 2002 Burning Man Decompression – held every year just east of Portola Hill in beautiful San Francisco. Both an afternoon and evening issues were released to the unsuspecting crowd of freaks attempting to in some small way experience the euphoria of the playa – if but for a brief afternoon far from the desolation of Northern Nevada.
