Radiohead Dips Into Online Distribution Again - This Time With A Price (For Charity)
Just bought it thanks to this. Not sure I like the song though. The strings at the beginning are a bit vomit-inducing. - Stephen Mack

The holographic brain from (Eshel Ben-Jacob's Home Page) - http://star.tau.ac.il/~eshel...
"New evidences from epileptic brain activity hint that our brain might be able to generate holograms in a high dimension space of associative links - much like a recent view of the universe as a hologram projected from hidden dimensions beyond space and time. The advantage of the 'holographic principle' is that when you cut hologram into half you will have two smaller whole images from each half. This "whole in every part" nature of holograms provides the brain with an entirely new way of coding and decoding of information. For example, to produce in parallel multiple copies of the same memory for associative information processing. Inspired by the above, we present a new functional holography approach for analyzing multi-channel recordings such as ECoG (electrocorticograph) recordings of cortical brain activity and of individual neuron dynamics in cultured networks. The common approach is to evaluate the matrix of correlations between the recorded activities (inter-channels... more... - Wildcat from Bookmarklet
Actually, if you refer to the Shiva Samhita and if it was written in 17th or 18th century, then the yogis are late. Extended work on various aspects of the philosophy of mind are older than that. - Alexander Kruel
If you refer to Hinduism (5500–2600 BCE), Yoga (3300–1700 B.C.E.) in general, then you can hardly say scientists were late since back then religion effectively was what science is today... - Alexander Kruel
Anyways, I find your comments pretty amusing. Keep it coming :-D - Alexander Kruel

Exocortex - Wikipedia - a theoretical artificial external information processing system http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... (via http://friendfeed.com/wikitue...)
"An exocortex is a theoretical artificial external information processing system that would augment a brain's biological high-level cognitive processes. An individual's exocortex would be comprised of external memory modules, processors, IO devices and software systems that would interact with, and augment, a person's biological brain. Typically this interaction is described as being conducted through a direct brain-computer interface, making these extensions functionally part of the individual's mind. Individuals with significant exocortices would be classified as transhumans. The magazine Living Digital gave this description of the concept: "While [the traditional concept of] a cyborg has included artificial mechanical limbs embedded chips and devices, another interesting concept is the exocortex, which is a brain-computer interface. In theory, the exocortex would be a computer-like processing system that would co-exist with and enhance the power of the human brain. Neuromancer is a book that has talked about such a scenario."" - Alexander Kruel

Before They Were Music Stars
"It feels good to realize that before they were rock or pop stars, these people were just like us (or worse).  Without money, fame, and an image consultant, what are the chances that they’d have an aspirational look?  Below is a trip down memory lane that features school yearbook photos from some of music’s biggest stars." - Alejandro from Bookmarklet

As a garment is made through the assembly of parts cut from sewing patterns, likewise, myths and fables are a kind of fabric cut from human experience. In this way, I work to shape a narrative that references fable, myth and folklore. Making paintings in the above fashion, I ask three central questions. Is our memory of stories from youth in jeopardy of fading, or losing its relation to modern life? Is quickening technological advancement altering the relevance of stories and fables woven through our childhood? Are there therapeutic or harmful effects from these changes? The wording and schematics on the sewing patterns present a material metaphor by reinforcing the notion of a story, allowing the viewer to “read” the surface of the painting. Patterns and templates are the genesis of assembly, but once they are realized, they are tucked away or discarded. These paintings expose and liberate the pattern to become something to keep. - Cee Bee
Stunning work! - James (!?)

Nice! Seesmic is on fire lately. Nice work Loic. - Shawn Farner
thank you Shawn! We're trying hard - Loic Le Meur
Nice work. Now I just need to get used to posting videos onto Seesmic... :P - Chris Thomson
I liked it :) You actually can reply from just anywhere where HTML (and flash) are supported ;-) - directeur from NoiseRiver
still can't view seesmic on iPhone. Grr. Yeah I know its kind of not your fault. - David Jacobs
Man, I am getting my new webcam tomorrow or the next day, I am so looking forward to playing with it on seesmic. - Phil G
David, we're working hard on iPhone. Not easy though as it does not really support video.... - Loic Le Meur
Now we need replies in Twhirl. I know. I know. Never enough for use, is it. :) - Douglas E. Welch from twhirl
...for us...that is - Douglas E. Welch from twhirl
oh now -that- is slick - Jay Cuthrell
it worked great - johnpiercy
Unfortunately on Firefox that Ubuntu installs, Flash used by Seesmic is making Firefox crash. - Danilo da Silva from twhirl
Cool. That's a great set of features. - BISQ from twhirl
Douglas, you can't believe how hard we are working on recording replies in Twhirl. Coming soon for sure. - Loic Le Meur
sweeeeeeeeet - justine
Loic, what is with the iPhone of all things not supporting video? I heard that video on a jailbroken iphone isn't really that hard though. - Phil G
Nice! - fbrunel
J. Phil, okay, then it is me not understanding you can do video easily on an iphone and my team not having the bandwidth to do this yet, thanks for the fact checking - Loic Le Meur
Loic, I think you mis-understood me. I don't know. I don't have an iphone yet. I just heard that video can be done on an iphone, which makes me wonder why apple hasn't done it 'officially' yet. - Phil G
thanks J. Phil got it. - Loic Le Meur from twhirl

Just posted my reply via Friendfeed. Very cool Loic. This will change the game again. What's up wit pushing out new features on Sundays. Seems like lots of 2.0 companies do it. - Brian Daniel Eisenberg
Sweet. - Kevin Bondelli
Brian, we had sent the code to our Friendfeed friends and they decided to push it on sunday. I like it ;) - Loic Le Meur
Which way do I go? Right or Left! LOL Just joking! Very useful! - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
this will be awesome if it doesnt show in the seesmic main timeline - adolfo foronda
adolfo right now it does show in the public timeline, we're taking that off in the next hours - Loic Le Meur from twhirl
Nice one Loic. Keep up the great work. You're doing a great job listening to your community. It's all about integration. - Larry Kless
Loic. congratulations. The new player is great! Really a big step forward usability-wise. Question: if someone adds a video reply, does friendfeed get notified about the addition to that the post get's back on top of the friendfeed timeline. It would be nice if it did: bringing active conversations back on top is one of the nicest friendfeed features. Kudos again. Funding -> stability -> features = nice momentum! - Edwin Khodabakchian
Loic, do we still have to pay 5 Euros for Cappuccino in Paris or do we get a discount if we tell them we know you? lol - Igor The Troll יִצְחָק
Congratulations on this new development; Happy that Seesmic continues to grow and integrate with other socnets! : ) - Susan Beebe
It doesn't work with Posterous now. Is this because of seesmic's update? - Shinya ICHINOHE

Nice feature - Christian Van Der Henst
Edwin, yes, if you add your seesmic account to Friendfeed (like you do for all services) then you do a reply (or any new video) it will post it in your Friendfeed feed. - Loic Le Meur
