Night at the Beach
By Andy Alt July 12, 2008 - I was sitting on the beach and happened to notice the sun. It was setting, and it was both colorful and awe-inspiring. I decided to walk toward the sun to touch it; I stopped short, however, struck by a sudden temporary bout of logic and blindness in both eyes.

Getting out of bed...

Confusing Legal Technicalities
I've decided that the best way to be given a fair shake in the world today is become a lawyer. The main problem with laws is that they're very confusing to mentally ill people. Today I was outside stroking a stray cat which appeared to have just gorged on whipped cream...

Acceptance of Social Anxiety
If you suffer from social anxiety, then you are among the millions who have been told by your doctor that you're abnormal and need medication. If you prefer alternative treatment, then this article is worth reading. If you prefer alternative treatment because you already do enough drugs, then it's merely recommended reading. If you get bored and fall asleep by the second paragraph, then it will...

Don't Be Paranoid of Risky Drugs
Don't be Paranoid of Risky Drugs By Andy Alt 29 Sep 2005 - I heard on the news that a warning label will now be issued for a particular ADHD drug. It can increase risk of suicide in children. I like to read warning labels because they contain letters and sometimes even numbers so it challenges my ears and helps improve my sense of smell. I think risks are important because there are famous peop...

Addictive Meds
TIME magazine's June 16, 2008 cover story by Mark Thompson was a detailed story about US troops being given antidepressant drugs to deal with battlefield stress. A quote from the article (p 41) states "The newer drugs have fewer side effects and, unlike earlier drugs, are generally not addictive or toxic, even when taken in large quantities." This is false...

How to Properly Deactivate a Bomb
Movies have been made for decades -- many of them involve a bomb being deactivated. When I see a scene in which a bomb is deactivated 1-3 seconds before it's about to explode, I'm not impressed by the script writing. If I ever write a screenplay that includes a scene in which a bomb has to be deactivated, creativity will be my primary objective. In my story, the bomb will have one wire...

Comment on Antidepressant versus Placebo, Methinks thou doth Protest too Much
Posted on April 9, 2008
In this column I should have included the address to the original news article about the study. I first read about it on http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7263494.stm after hearing about it on the BBC World News. To search for blog posts to get other insights both for and against, try using http://blogsearch.google.com as a resource. Use keywords "antidepressant" and "placebo." For news (old and current), same keywords and the address http://news.google.com

Unfortunately this script doesn't process * as an argument correctly. It will only move the first file. What's the fix? I don't know yet.
