It's not actually spam. Read the comment: it's on topic. The rest of the account isn't spammy either.

No, we weren't talking about ewing2001. There was a spammer (username suatuigamala) leaving commentspam in the post. It's an unfortunate artifact that Micah's calling-out now points to an innocent commenter after the spam was removed. :-)

There is absolutely no reason why Facebook and Google should be able to sell your data and not compensate you for it. There is no reason why people cannot remain anonymous in their knowledge inventory up to the point of transaction. A dollar bill is used to store and exchange value - SO ARE YOU. Yet the dollar is anonymous.

I would *never* insinuate Alex is anything like Dwight, no, not in any way.

I'd have to know who Dwight is to be insulted by that comment.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex the fact that you don't know who Dwight is means you haven't spent enough time watching to "get it". The Office is not a show you can just come into randomly and judge. You need to learn about the characters and then you can start seeing the relevance in the humour. However, there's no reason why you should feel the need to watch it, it's just a TV show.
- Kenton
I've not seen the US version, but I watched the original. I really wanted to like it, but just didn't. Funny, though, Shawn groaned at me renting it and LOVED it. Which is how I ended up watching the whole thing.

Alex: You need to read my current blog post. If it doesn't entertain you, don't watch it. Period. And there's no need to "get it" unless there's some awfully good reason to do so. (Why we stopped suggesting Buffy to people after Season 1: Too much backstory.)
- Walt Crawford
Kenton, the show makes me uncomfortable after watching for 5 minutes, I don't feel the need to view it beyond that and I've tried several times.

And Walt, I read your blog post and the other one related to it and totally agree.

I learned about this because of Janis Krum's blog. He was the guy who took the photo of today's plane crash and posted it to Twitter.

Still crying after watching this video and so angry at my self-absorbed life complaints. Today, right this very moment, this video has changed the way I view life.

Very inspirational. The guy has done amazing things, and I definitely get the message - right up until he starts in with the evangelism. Is it just possible he could have achieved the same things on his own - or with a support system that didn't carry the Jesus branding?
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Mary, I don't think it is a matter of Jesus "branding", it is his testimony, it is a genuine explanation of how he's been able to overcome his circumstances. I don't think Nick would be the man he is today if he would have "done it on his own"
- Kelly Johns
Tears in my coffee cup. Good way to start a day of opportunities for those with more. To whom much is given, much is expected. Thanks for sharing...awesome.
- Carl
Kelly, I suspect you're right. Especially since he's a preacher's kid. And I really do get that it can take a huge spiritual foundation to overcome big obstacles. But just once I'd like to see an inspirational story that doesn't turn out to be a lead-in to a Christianity message. Are we - as a culture - as Americans under the First Amendment - saying that nobody can overcome great obstacles who is not a Christian?
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Let's see some examples of great inspiration from the secular world - or the other religious and spiritual traditions. For instance - Stephen Hawking has lived decades longer than anyone with ALS normally would.
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Mary, Please rewatch this video, no where was this pushing a Christian message. I heard God, witnessing God. I believe this was more a faith in God, which is not exclusive to Christians. :)
- Janet-The Bottley Crue
True. I made the mistake of watching a second video. And - the language in the first video is the lexicon of the Christian brand: witnessing, faith, God's plan. Witnessing and the idea of God's plan for a person or a community don't exist in, for example, Judaism, and the concept of faith in Judaism is rather nebulous, at least in the Reform tradition.
- Auntie Buttinsky Botts
Just saw this post randomly. Hope things are well.
- Janis Krums
To me, the search for truth is more important than anything else. Anything that gets in the way of this or honesty is red tape that needs to be cut away. As long as it's done with personal respect, that's all that should matter.
OK - this might sound really ridiculous, and I'm dying to be proven wrong - but based on my experience this week, if you send ONE SINGLE e-mail to a Yahoo! Mail user and it gets too high of a "bad word" score - then, foreverafter, all e-mails from your mail server's IP address will default to delivery in their spam folder (yahoo's MTA will add the "X-YahooFilteredBulk" header to each inbound message). If you, by some total happenstance, discover this (wondering why your Yahoo friends were ignoring you) and wish it undone, you must fill out a massive 20+ item questionnaire about your privacy & opt-out policies, submit hyperlinks to your unsubscribe forms and policy pages, etc. If, however, you are not *actually* a bulk mail sender (for example, you run a private server just for you and a few friends/colleagues) and thus have no such things, you're fucked - they will not unflag the server IP - and they don't care. They just suggest that you "teach" your contacts how to remove your...

"We need to ask what opportunity Wave allows people to express themselves and to understand what other people mean when they contribute a message to a conversation," explains psychologist Leon Watts."

"But to Washington State University neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp, this supposed pleasure center didn't look very much like it was producing pleasure. Those self-stimulating rats, and later those humans, did not exhibit the euphoric satisfaction of creatures eating Double Stuf Oreos or repeatedly having orgasms. The animals, he writes in Affective Neuroscience: The Foundations of Human and Animal Emotions, were "excessively excited, even crazed." The rats were in a constant state of sniffing and foraging. Some of the human subjects described feeling sexually aroused but didn't experience climax. Mammals stimulating the lateral hypothalamus seem to be caught in a loop, Panksepp writes, "where each stimulation evoked a reinvigorated search strategy". It is an emotional state Panksepp tried many names for: curiosity, interest, foraging, anticipation, craving, expectancy. He finally settled on seeking. ... In order to have the maximum effect, the cues should be small, discrete,...

"As the source of the most powerful natural hallucinogen known, salvia is drawing scrutiny from U.S. authorities who want to restrict this Mexican herb, now used recreationally by some. But neuroscientists worry that controlling it before studies have determined its safety profile is premature and could hamper research of the drug's medicinal value. Increasingly, evidence is piling up that it could lead to new and safer antidepressants and pain relievers, as well as even help in improving treatments for such mental illnesses as schizophrenia and addiction."

Awesome article. Eventually, nano-pharma could become the domain that delivers penultimate gains in extended / augmented cognition. Electrodes to the synapse seem like extraordinarily bulky and crude intermediary interfaces; on the other hand, on a nano scale, perhaps it's within bounds to imagine nanowires such as could approach functional equivalence to neurotransmitters. IMO, the tangible experiments born of such speculations are a large part what makes this research area so damned alluring!
