Why we fight
At Ontopolis, we’ve been working while the cabbage sleeps. Since March we’ve been working on “Project Muse” which, as well as being an excuse to name a project something mysterious is also a collection of ideas and actions aimed at feeding later projects. The idea for Project Muse is not to get rich quickly or even at all particularly. The idea is to create a tiny business that earns a little net profit without soaking up too much time in ongoing support and management. Once one of these grazing automatons is wound up and bumping into walls like a cute little memebot, we do it again and again, until the Ontopolis basement is full of these cute little gizmos generating a dollar here, a Linden there and dropping them into the cash pump to feed other things including lame art projects, jokes in poor taste and odd charities. We will also use the money to buy cheese and time to think up more stuff. There are only a few of us right now, but we’re open to anyone who can fit in the uniform and play the electric kazoo.
This evening I’ll list talk more about the results and progress from our first three muse experiments.

The 4-Hour Workweek – Great introduction to cash pumps and muses, but check the website for more up to date service providers and information. Most of the providers in the books were either swamped by his readers or are out of business.
Fight Club – You are not your khakis
Principia Discordia – Don’t read this one if you’re a cabbage. If you can’t see the fnords they can’t eat you.
