TIMES, TIME, AND HALF A TIME. A HISTORY OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

Comments on a cultural reality between past and future.

This blog describes Metatime in the Posthuman experience, drawn from Sir Isaac Newton's secret work on the future end of times, a tract in which he described Histories of Things to Come. His hidden papers on the occult were auctioned to two private buyers in 1936 at Sotheby's, but were not available for public research until the 1990s.

Happy Canada Day

Here's a link to the Parliament Hill webcam in Ottawa, so you can see what people are doing there every 30 seconds.  The Queen will be addressing the crowds on Parliament Hill in a ceremony running from noon to 1:30 EDT.  And a statue of Oscar Peterson is being unveiled at the National Arts Centre.

Some tributes: CBC Newfoundland's signoff for the evening in the 2000s (ends with the Ode to Newfoundland):




Nostalgia: this was the signoff video that used to play after the late movie on CBC 6 Montreal in 1987:
