Either I was ready to give up on it completely and move to a farm with a crate of old books, or I needed to find a new point of view to wipe clean the lenses of my fogged glasses. That led to my exploration of craftsmanship as an ideal to give more meaning to my work whether it is on a computer, in a factory, or in a classroom. - José Murilo Junior

"In the Terminator movies, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s character sees the world with data superimposed on his visual field—virtual captions that enhance the cyborg’s scan of a scene. In stories by the science fiction author Vernor Vinge, characters rely on electronic contact lenses, rather than smartphones or brain implants, for seamless access to information that appears right before their eyes. These visions (if I may) might seem far-fetched, but a contact lens with simple built-in electronics is already within reach" - Tanath from Bookmarklet

"Five years ago, a shotgun blast left a ghastly hole where the middle of her face had been. Five months ago, she received a new face from a dead woman. Connie Culp stepped forward Tuesday to show off the results of the nation's first face transplant, and her new look was a far cry from the puckered, noseless sight that made children run away in horror." - Brad Williamson from Bookmarklet

I can't believe that people are freaking out about this. More people die from smoking everyday then they do from pigs. Remember when everyone thought that SARS meant the end of the world? I guess just like the tech sphere, the flu sphere needs it's 15 minutes of hype once in a while. - Davis Freeberg

"Here’s a heck of a rumor that we’ve sourced from two separate people close to the negotiations: Google is in late stage negotiations to acquire Twitter. We don’t know the price but can assume its well, well north of the $250 million valuation that they saw in their recent funding. Twitter turned down an offer to be bought by Facebook just a few months ago for half a billion dollars, although that was based partially on overvalued Facebook stock. Google would be paying in cash and/or publicly valued stock, which is equivalent to cash. So whatever the final acquisition value might be, it can’t be compared apples-to-apples with the Facebook deal. Why would Google want Twitter? We’ve been arguing for some time that Twitter’s real value is in search. It holds the keys to the best real time database and search engine on the Internet, and Google doesn’t even have a horse in the game. In a post last month called It’s Time To Start Thinking Of Twitter As A Search Engine, I wrote:" - Internet Strategist from Bookmarklet

"Russian teens have now new fun. They dare trains. This is needed to be done fast, because if one is appearing before the train too long before and machinist could see him and start breaking, so they run on the rails just before the train so he couldn’t start breaking and fell down on the rails, then the train moves above the person at his maximum speed, just a few inches from his head and back. Russian teen girls seem to go for this too." Seems like a kind of bad idea. - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

I've seen this gone wrong in real time. One act that should be a joke to a few kids, left a mark on many people who saw it happening. - Jorg Jansen
