All This Is That Turns 10 Years Old Today
By Jack Brummet, Mona Goldwater, and Pablo Fanque, Eds.
We've published 7085 posts since starting in 2004, and have published every single day for the last ten years, mostly from Seattle, but also from India, China, Russia, Mexico, England, Turkey, Greece, Canada, Korea, Idaho, Montana, New York City, Texas, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, Oregon, Arizona, and Wyoming.
All This Is That is often syndicated , purloined, linked to, and referenced by other blogs and websites, and our articles and art have been reprinted in books and magazines about The Web, alien lore, folk lore and folk ways, poetry, and politics. We've even published a few recipes by Jack.
All This Is That began ten years ago with a poem by Jack Brummet posted the morning of November 16, 2004:
Poem: Driving Home To Seattle, We Watch Deer
Drink from the Skookumchuck River
by Jack Brummet
A rainbow loops over
the alder cathedral.
Dark clouds are sinking.
The Lamplighter
loans them a patch of land
and a heartbeat.

Five Poems: The Golden Rule; The Glass Is Not Half-Full; It's Getting Crowded; Limits; Surviving
By Jack Brummet
The Golden Rule
Listen to the songbirds
Trill
But keep an eye
On the buzzard section.
The glass is not half-full
I saw our dreams
Disappear
Like a white pony
Over
A low grassy hill.
It's Getting Crowded
We cover the earth
With Venn Diagrams
As our steps
Bisect old steps.
Limits
We like to believe
We could endure anything for five minutes
But that theory, cooked up
In your hermetic study or bedroom,
Comes apart at the seams
When you imagine being on fire
Or having crows feast
Upon your eyes.
Surviving
Salvation lies
In remaining unblinded
To the treachery
Massing around you:
The enemy without,
Calculating your fall
And the traitor within,
Beating in your chest.

Science!: A feather and a bowling ball fall in a vacuum
By Jack Brummet, Amateur Physics Ed.
I remember from physics class that all objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum. But I'd never seen it. The money shot starts at 2:50 on this YouTube video. . .
