Wired: “Using random event generators — computers that spew random output — they have participants focus their intent on controlling the machines’ output. Out of several million trials, they’ve detected small but “statistically significant” signs that minds may be able to interact with machines.”

So if you plan on stalking me, you have a great opportunity to do so this week.

If you’re in the San Francisco area, I will be at the Jonathan Ames reading tonight at the Booksmith.

On Wednesday night, I’ll be hopping across the Bay to catch Rebecca Solnit. Word on the street has it that Mr. Esposito and Mr. Perez will also be there.

And although it’s been receiving almost no coverage from my peers (not even panelist Kevin Smokler! for shame!), this City’s annual Books by the Bay is going down this Saturday. It will feature several authors and other book-related happenings, all at the Yerba Buena Gardens. I will be there as well, with a ridiculous collection of electronics attached to my body. I will return here sometime later to offer a sizable report.

And for all you podcasting freaks, there are several (multiple!) episodes of Segundo in the works, many of which will be posted this week and next.

Keep watching the skies.

Ever since finishing Jonathan Coe’s Like a Fiery Elephant quite a while ago, an excellent biography that I will go into length at in another venue (I’m dancing as fast as I can!), I have been extremely curious about reading the works of the biography’s subject, B.S. Johnson. Johnson died tragically young of a suicide, but during his brief life, he dared to publish novels with holes that allowed the reader to “see into the future” (Albert Angelo) and he also infamously published The Unfortunates, which involved pages contained within a box, to be shuffled in whatever order the reader decided.

Well, one Golden Rule Jones has begun the legwork, searching for a copy of Albert Angelo with the holes. And I’ll let his post speak for itself. He also points to this B.S. Johnson Flickr tag. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the Complete Review’s coverage of Johnson titles.

Don’t know how I missed it, but if you’re looking for another outlet-centric blog, Emily Gordon’s blog, Emdashes, is New Yorker-centric and also offers a monthly column about writers named Jonathan entitled “Jonathans Are Illuminated.”

There’s now a rumor being floated around that Apple has a Video iPod in the works for September.

I have two words on why such a device will completely and utterly fail: Video Walkman.
