“Amino acids are literally raining down out of the sky,” said one of the team’s leaders, Max Bernstein of the SETI Institute and NASA’s Ames Research Center, “and if that’s not a big deal then I don’t know what is.”
Stanley Donwood is the guy that has done all the album art and some video art and other collaborations with these 5 British guys called Radiohead. He has just released some more prints.
But they are expensive, at 150 pounds ($200?), and many people reading this would never pay that much money for a piece of art, unless you could sit on it or smoke out of it. “Know your audience”, right?
Also, he is an insanely talented writer. Or maybe he just has really great dreams and he’s a good journalist.
I plan on winning the New Jersey high school science fair this year with my parallel neural vagrant cooperative computer project. Research began on this project over 35 minutes ago when I read this thing on enhancing cognitive powers by transitioning to an interconnected mind which will lead to a new race of humans:
This is only possible by interconnecting the human mind with human mind, in a sort of collective consciousness. The processing power of many will solve many important problems (such as space travel). Problems that plague the fabric of humanity, such as leaving the solar system, can only be solved by such collective thought. There are many attempts to make machines that behave like the human mind, but that is the wrong direction. Only by clustering the grey matter of the brain will we be able to solve the problem of extinction or self destruction.
So I plan on creating a local network of vagrants (volunteers, of course…I’m not crazy!) and slightly unscrewing their skulls so I can wire their brains together. Then when I get all the synapses and neurons firing together in a parallel circuit, I will control the world’s first human computer.
From there, I haven’t decided where I want to go with the project. World domination sounds funny and is the obvious route, but that feels like it would entail a lot of work. I’m leaning towards opening an H&R Block office. Taxes are really hard to figure out, and if I have a powerful manputer doing all the work I’ll be able to handle hundreds of customers at a time with virtually no overhead. My only costs will be the manputer’s salaries and office rental.
Click for Video The Fabulous Entourage played an amazing show at the Pussycat Lounge in downtown NYC this Saturday. They have a drummer, bassist, keyboardist, and two amazing female vocalists. The girls dress up like 60’s go-go dancers. This video is their encore, Tom Jones’ “Sex Bomb”. Need I say more?
They’re playing a free show this Friday at Coney Island.
Adam and I were roommates in college for a couple of years. We watched a program called Kids in the Hall on a regular basis. I was cleaning out some shit the other day and ran across this video. It will shed some light on the Bullemhead name.
Click for Novak Video See that thick figure walking off set behind James Carville? It’s none other than Robert “Douchebag” Novak, the assbag that revealed Valerie Plame’s identity in his column thereby ending her career as a WMD expert, all to settle a political score for Bush puppetmaster Karl Rove.
While discussing Rep. Katherine Harris’s (R-FL) plan to run for a Senate seat against Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL), Novak told Carville, “Just let me finish what I’m going to say, James, please. I know you hate to hear me.” Carville said to host Ed Henry, describing Novak: “He’s gotta show these right-wingers that he’s got backbone, you know. The Wall Street Journal editorial page is watching you. Show ‘em you’re tough.”
Novak responded: “Well, I think that’s bullshit, and I hate that.” He then said to Henry, “Just let it go.” As Henry asked Carville a question, Novak walked off the set.
After the segment ended, Henry apologized to viewers for Novak’s leaving the set “a little early,” adding: “I had told him in advance that we were going to ask him about the CIA leak case. He was not here for me to be able to ask him about that. Hopefully, we’ll be able to ask him about that in the future.”
“Bob Novak’s behavior on CNN today was inexcusable and unacceptable,” the network said in a statement. “Mr. Novak has apologized to CNN, and CNN apologizes to its viewers for his language and actions. We’ve asked Mr. Novak to take some time off.”
Plus he has to write a letter to his parents explaining why he’s suspended, wash the blackboards for 2 weeks when he gets back, and apologize over the loudspeaker to the entire company.
