THIS DAY IN HISTORY: REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR : Take a minute to view some film footage of the attack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2PDl-wSBLQ


Follow the link below to a great personal write up on Pearl Harbor by occasional guest blogger Vic Socotra. No Vic wasn't there, few of us are that old now. But Vic did biographical pieces for years on retired Admiral Mac Showers who arrived at Pearl Harbor as the salvage, and repair operations were in progress as a young naval intelligence officer. Vic literally took down the stories on bar cocktail napkins for years. The Admiral only recently passed away. Vic's narrative beautifully illustrated isn't a first person narrative of the events, but largely derived from first person narratives directly told across a generation person to person.

IN THE BLOG SPACE RECENTLY:


SURFING MUSE (SM) ANNOUNCED THE OPENING OF HIS SURF SHOP AND EXPANSION OF THE SURFING PAGE. We worry about SM as he is the youngest in the office and frankly seems a bit off, but he seems challenged by Namazu and swears that if we give him the kind of creative freedom that our giant catfish has he can produce the goods. So we decided to go ahead and loose Surfing Muse on the world. The world absorbed a 3,000 year old giant catfish former demigod, how hard can it be to accept a wild surfer kid? Just scroll down below the yesterday's station Identification page to read what SM has to say about it, or check in at the Surfing Page to visit the shop under construction, maybe order something for the surfer in your family.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT EARLIER NAMAZU'S 2012 SUGGESTED READING LIST WAS POSTED YESTERDAY. Again, just scroll down past yesterday's station ID.

YESTERDAY

NAMAZU SENT IN AN UNEXPECTED POST OVER THE HYDROPHONE FAX:
This isn't the "blockbuster" we've been anticipating but apparently watching the Secretary General of the UN give a speech on climate change really put a bee in his bonnet. Scroll down below the station ID for December 6, 2012 for a short angry note to another member of the "Establishment" as only the giant catfish can deliver them. His latest block buster was posted last night an dis just below this station ID.

  READ LIKE A CATFISH:


 People who have read "NAMAZU FULLY LOADED: THE FUTURE OF AMERICA" keep asking how this 3,000 yer old catfish knows so much. Well, obviously being 3,000 years old gives one a unique and very deep historical perspective. While Namazu generally hangs out in the Pacific off the Sea of Japan he is a world traveler as his recent visit to our office demonstrated. Being able to take human form on rare occasions gives one an inter-species broad breath of perception. But how is he  able to predict the future? Namazu says that the ability to predict the future was never in his union contract as a "demigod", a term he now describes as "unfortunate and inaccurate."He maintains that he uses the same type of analytic tools as human prognosticators but better quality, and of course he has that unique historical and global perspective. Namazu claims no future predictive accuracy much  greater than the best computer enhanced, human team of forecasters. He does claim to use better data, some of it quite expensive as we learned in that little controversy over the "NAMAZU FULLY LOADED" controversy. We have asked Namazu to share with his fans a reading list that will help readers to master the Catfish perspective. He has promised to keep his suggested reading list within reasonable retail pricing and to stay away from suggesting some of the data bases that he occasionally accesses that costs thousands of dollars. The final 2012 Namzu Reading List should be posted before the end of the week..
