Shelter: A Quest for Non-Toxic Housing

Crocuta writes "Many of the geeks on /. voluntarily confine themselves to their homes for vast stretches of time, but what happens when your home becomes your prison? Eric Hunting suffers from Environmental Illness which perpetually confines him to his home, which even as carefully furnished as it is, is still slowly killing him. His website, Shelter, is both a plea for help and a guide documenting one man's quest for non-toxic housing."

    DEGARMO IN STUDIO WITH QUEENSRYCHE!

    Seattle, WA - Founding guitarist, Chris DeGarmo has rejoined his former band mates at an undisclosed studio in the Seattle area. While it cannot be confirmed at this time whether Chris has officially rejoined the band, the group is writing as a complete unit for the first time in 7 years. A representative for DeGarmo confirmed the original lineup is "creating the next Queensrÿche studio release". Queensrÿche have amassed numerous gold and platinum awards and were nominated for a Grammy for their Top Ten Single "Silent Lucidity" in 1991.

    Queensrÿche's upcoming full length disc is slated for an early Summer release. It follows their Sanctuary Records debut, LIVE EVOLUTION, which was released in 2001. The LIVE EVOLUTION DVD debuted at # 11 on Billboard's top music video sales chart.

    Update: March 6th, 2003

    Lyrics by: Geoff Tate

    Uniform printout reads end of line
    Protect code intact leaves little time
    Erratic surveys, free thinking not allowed
    My hands shake, my push buttons silence
    The outside crowd
    One world government has outlawed war among nations
    Now social control requires population termination
    Have we come too far
    To turn around
    Does emotion hold the key
    Is logic just a synonym for
    This savagery, disguised in
    Forgotten lost memory
    Microchip logic
    have we no more thought
    "Is this wrong" I enter
    Answers sought
    Punch, punch, punch, transfer this data
    Into code. Wide eyes watch my
    Number 156 is shown
    Created from past life to perform
    Illicit function, I fail this conscious
    Madness I man/machine imperfection
    Have we come too far
    To turn around
    Does emotion hold the key
    Is logic just a synonym for
    This savagery, disguised in
    Forgotten lost memory
    End of line

    Eric Hunting suffers from Environmental Illness

    Some of his problems are probably real, but I'm guessing he'd get a whole lot better if he was treated for his mental illness as well.

    So from what I'm reading, all of us nerds are essentially speeding up natural selection by staying in our houses for hours on end due to the fact we're not masochists. Well Lord take me now!
