“You should view the world as a conspiracy run by a very closely-knit group of nearly omnipotent people, and you should think of those people as yourself and your friends.” - Robert Anton Wilson

Maybe Maybe
How could we have overlooked this Dutch site?
Love the maybe 100 series text, and most everything on this site...
Thanks for the smile Hyo Kwon...
And thanks also (I never thought I'd say THIS!) to Robbie Williams (and Alfie) for this laugh... (four minutes of your precious time...)

Maybes Update!
I've restored all but 3 chapters from Borsky's PDF backup to the wiki.
2009 Update: that old wiki finally died, but we do have a new one started recently.

Only Maybe: the website
In spite of my Circuit 3 tendency to talk and talk, I like to manifest things - so the discussion of the future of Maybe Quarterly (fun but hard to re-edit) and Only Maybe (fun, but blogs seem very linear) forced me to go off and take an hour or so to initiate an Only Maybe website - using Google's (still beta) Page Creator.
I made an OM Home Page, here - which could link to individual's contributions, to mashups and group stuff, to external pages, blogs, feeds, etc. I made one page for my avatar, and linked it in, just as a demo of quick and easy.
We could go this way, if people really want to...
I notice that the Illuminatus! Wiki seems like a sluggish project at the moment...and The Maybe's don't seem to have got the band back together just yet.
[Update: 11th March] Things change so quickly! As you can see above, the Maybes have started gathering around the crew Taco Truck again, and we have rumours of a new incarnation of the MLA which might resolve some of the issues around editing and control of content...so perhaps I will steer OM:the website towards something like a more user friendly version of the Index, gathering and highlighting some of the more interesting material we have generated over the lifetime of OM.

Shem the Penman
If you prowl and browse and graze through this blog - everywhere you will find extraordinary artwork. 95% of it will come from the pen(s) of Bobby Campbell.
In my own posts I tend to break up the text with images grabbed (without permission) from the web, and one day I may regret that - but Bobby creates original work for us (and others) all the time.
I suspect he wouldn't use this place to promote himself, so I feel I should say something. Anyone who gives up the security of a 'day-job' (as he has) and goes freelance needs a little help.
So if you have any art needs, from party invites to gifts for friends or posters for your gig, why not contact
The Man Himself
and get customized and unique art work. Or just go make a PayPal donation to give the artist room to move...
To all's much relief one's half hypothesis of that jabberjaw ape amok the showering jestnuts of Bruisanose was hotly dropped and his room taken up by that odious and still today insufficiently malestimated notesnatcher (kak, pfooi, bosh and fiety, much earny, Gus, poteen? Sez you!) Shem the Penman.[...]
He is cured by faith who is sick of fate. The prouts who will invent a writing there ultimately is the poeta, still more learned, who discovered the raiding there originally. That's the point of eschatology our book of kills reaches for now in soandso many counterpoint words. What can't be coded can be decorded if an ear aye sieze what no eye ere grieved for. Now, the doctrine obtains, we have occasioning cause causing effects and affects occasionally recausing altereffects. Or I will let me take it upon myself to suggest to twist the penman's tale posterwise.
