not an author and a reader … a collision of co-creators not reading or watching … playing and procreating not a product … a process not a tidy straight line … a mosaic … a pattern that you can view from any perspective not a beginning and an end … the end of the beginning, middle and end not a frozen narrative … a collective...

How important are 'the latest news'? What would it mean to ignore most news and to concentrate on our present goals? These days many people are following an enormous amount of news sources. I myself notice how skimming through my Google Reader items is increasingly time-consuming. Is there maybe more to it than just curiosity and...

At this stage, I believe, science and mathematics are the only ways of knowing. There are other ways. There is introspection to find and convey meaning. There are self-contained rules, as in gaming or computer programming, that can be made-up and learnt. Nevertheless, these ways of knowing are not concerned with empirical inquiry about the...

There are radical new patterns of power and response-ability emerging around the 21st century citizen. But we are also experiencing a strange kind of political impotence. We are powerful in new ways, yet often incapable of applying any kind of meaningful political force to the most crucial issues of our time ... I think there's a vital yet...

So different?.... Mabye in some ways but it isnt that far from each other, What science does is look for answers, grow and understand, same with art, art is something that we can express ourselves through understanding why we are here, art isnt something that is just done, we grow and understand why we are here, we think through geometric thoughts...

So, Were in the age of computers and technology. We are having to expand out language and adapt. It will be harder for non local and alien residents when they move or try to work and interact with others VIA the internet with all sorta of slang being made up to understand technology and the computer. I feel like we need to create ...

Alas. My computer is probably killing me. Isn't technology slowly killing us? It makes sense in evolution-that technology would slowly kill us all and not need a user. I sit with my laptop. Its warmth and humming noise sooth me. The warmth is like the warm touch of a humans....

We will see a paradigm shift, possibly a world wide revolutionary change this year. Hand me pepper and salt to eat my shoe if it'll be 2012. It will be a very painful collapse, and we'll see the dollar and the euro become a wholly new currency. I am afraid, because I am vulnerable, but at the end of the day we all are. And while it will be...

Buffers, byte order, streaming... Forget that complication. Here's the general solution for making your speakers and microphones do anything you want. With only basic Java programming skills (a first year college class) you can do what took me years to learn: Define sound as numbers from -1 to 1 at each instant in time. Most people think...

Economics is based on two concepts; the first is the idea of the incentive, and the second (which is of greater relevance to the post) is utility. Demand for commodities, services, capital etc are all essentially derived from the desire for satisfaction and this fact justifies the placing of ‘utility’ in the centre of the structure of...

But not like 1 negative and 1 positive.... all splits on a bell curve, which should match to what is called a "particle and antiparticle" because both of those are subject to heisenberg uncertainty which really means they were split on a bell curve instead of +1 and -1.
