"The original source for the story has now been traced to a satirical website in Sweden, which reported the stinging tale back in September, 2012."

Geoffrey Lillemon (1981 USA) brings a classic romantic painting and drawing style to technology to reinterpret artistic practice. As one of the leading artists of the Net Art Movement, Lillemon has consistently foregrounded the interplay between the digital and physical world in his work, blending the traditional mediums with interactive animation that responds to human touch, brainwaves, and even heartbeats. Using various art forms, from mixed and moving media to literature and soundscapes to classic portraiture, he creates works of hallucinatory poetry that reach into the infinite depths of the subconscious where the real and the imaginary interact. Lillemon has exhibited internationally as Oculart, including being the Invite d'Honneur at the Centre Pompidou, was a founding member of studio Champagne Valentine, and is currently an artist in residence at Random, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

SOFTWARE. According to a biography of John Wilder Tukey by Peter McCullagh to appear in Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society of London, the term was coined by Tukey. A JSTOR search found this from 1958, "Today the ’software' comprising the carefully planned interpretive routines, compilers and other aspects of automative programming are at least as important to the...

"June twenty-ninth. I gotta get in shape. Too much sitting has ruined my body. Too much abuse has gone on for too long. From now on there will be 50 pushups each morning, 50 pullups. There will be no more pills, no more bad food, no more destroyers of my body. From now on will be total organization. Every muscle must be tight."
This video is an overview of the Alternate Reality Kit (ARK); an animated environment for creating interactive simulations. ARK is built upon a physical-world metaphor: all objects have an image; a position; a velocity; and can experience forces. Users manipulate objects wiha mouse-operated "hand" which enables them to carry and throw objects; to press buttons; and to operate sliders. Discussion of each ARK feature includes informal observations of early ARK users; an assessment the feature's learnablility; of its usefulness; and of its position on the magical-literal axis.

McCarthy was not impressed with the TMRC hackers hanging around at the TX0. The feeling was mutual: McCarthy had an ulterior motive behind his programming. For the hackers programming was its own justification; a silly hack was as good as anything else to enjoy programming and to display virtuosity. McCarthy likened them to “ski-bums”

Oni otkrivaju da većina onih s kojima su zajedno odrasli i zadržali kontakt pokazuju smetnje u navikama i svijesti. Jedan toliko popušta u radu da mu posao propada, drugi razara svoj brak a da krivnja nije na ženi, treći utajuje. No, i oni kod kojih ne dolazi do presudnih događaja nose znakove dekompozicije. Razgovor sa njima postaje plitkim, hvalisavim, zbrčkanim. Dok je onaj tko stari ranije i od drugih dobijao duhovni elan, čini se da je sada on jedini koji dobrovoljno pokazuje nekakav stvarni interes.

Na početku naginje tomu da razvoj svojih vršnjaka smatra nemilim slučajem. Upravo oni su krenuli na lošije. Možda je to ta generacija ili njihova posebna vanjska subina. Konačno otkriva da mu je taj osjećaj poznat iz neke druge sveze: iz aspekta mladosti spram odraslih. Nije li nekoć bio uvjeren da kod ovog ili onog učitelja, kod stričeva ili teta, prijatelja roditelja, a kasnije kod...

Tada nije mnogo razmišljao, prihvaćao je inferiornost odraslih kao prirodnu činjenicu. Sada mu se potvrđuje: u danim uvjetima, izvršavanje puke egzistencije uz očuvanje pojedinih sposobnosti, tehničkih ili intelektualnih, već u muževnoj dobi dovodi do kretenizma. Ni kozmopolitski pojedinci nisu iznimke. Tako je kao da je čovjek za kaznu za to što je izdao nadanja svoje mladosti i srastao sa svijetom pao u preuranjeno propadanje. *** Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno - Dijalektika prosvjetiteljstva
