On this day in history: April 16, 1943 - Chemist Albert Hofmann inadvertently experiences the world's first acid trip when a tiny quantity of lysergic acid diethylamide accidently seeps through the skin of his finger. After leaving work early, he went home and settled into "a not unpleasant intoxicated condition." Then he had solid two hours of visual hallucinations: "I perceived an uninterrupted stream of fantastic pictures, extraordinary shapes with intense, kaleidoscopic play of colors." It will be another three days before Hofmann gets up the courage to swallow 250 micrograms and ride his bicycle home.

Outstanding Web site: My friend, Chris, introduced me to an outstanding Web site—Hulu. This site offers FREE viewing of thousands of television shows, movies, and HD content, with very limited commercial interruption. I watched a couple of episodes of "King of the Hill" there yesterday. It is an amazing site!
