Ep. 27 I Read It On The Internet So It Must Be True w. Joseph Matheny
A fun little interview I did with EarMobPodcast 08/11/25, just having some fun and reliving some memories. The host is a nice guy and was pleasant to talk to.

Remember Deoxy.org?
In the days of old (early-mid 90s), there was a site called Deoxy.
The Deoxyribonucleic Hyperdimension
It was a personal wiki of sorts about psychedelics, new age mysticism, anarchy, subversive philosophy, environmentalism, and obscure information. It was one of the early homes of the Incunabula/Ong’s Hat information. Before it shut down, the amount of content was huge, and everything was personally curated by the creator, Dimitry Novus. Supposedly, when Google Video shut down and many links broke, he got upset and stopped updating. Eventually, it faded.
I found an independent archive of the site, including the old Incunabula/Ong’s Hat page he maintained from the early 90s onward. He told me he used the old Well Gopher text to build it. I originally posted it to the Well Gopher in 1993. (See Matisse Enzer’s explanation of the Well Gopher)
