Angelo never felt quite right …
He was a strong young man, bright, passionate, yet growing up he always felt out of place amongst his piers. He felt a passing tourist in this world rather one of its residents. He wasn’t distraught about this fact, a little perplexed perhaps, slightly uncomfortable, but not distraught. In fact he found it...
Kurzweil and his proponents seem to be unshakable in their belief that at some point, Advanced Artificial General Intelligence, Machine Sentience, or Human Built Consciousness, whatever you would like to call it, will happen.

"I can feel it coming
In the air tonight
Oh lord ..."
And now for something completely indifferent ...
Can you close your eyes and have vision?
Can you stop your mind so you can think?
Can you feel outside your senses?
Can you imagine what you already know?

One of the ideas which sprang from our discussions around the future of waste was that of "System Upcycling".
System Upcyclers look at how existing infrastructures and technologies can be put to better use, they look to take the elements of our "legacy systems" which are broken, wasteful or social destructive and buy them up...

This is what a waterdrop dropped onto water looks like when filmed at 10,000 frames-per-second. It behaves similar to a bouncy ball, called the coalescence cascade, in that the droplet dumps about half of its water into the pool of water below, then bounces back up into the air, and repeats until...

Bank of America, Amazon, MasterCard and PayPal are some of the companies that stopped doing business with Wikileaks.
While it is quite clear that this follows ‘some’ pressure from the US government I do like to point to a more principal issue here.
I believe that it is the right of every person on the planet to have access to all...
growing up my mom had a trinket in the kitchen hanging up that read "if your mind can conceive it, and your heart can believe it, then you can achieve it." This sign caught my eye on a recent visit and got me thinking so i was trying to have a conversation with a friend and i was trying to explain how i believe if i focus- in my mind i...
Has anyone noticed the avalanche of beauty and make-up products related blogs that's been drowning the world wide web? Not just blogging platforms, but youtube also, and some other social media websites.
It simply baffles me.
