Ink Under the Influence.

I posted 2 photos of ink swirls in water. A tiny drop of isopropyl alcohol causes quite a turbulent disturbance.

Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us

"Today, the Machine acts like a very large computer with top-level functions that operate at approximately the clock speed of an early PC. It processes 1 million emails each second, which essentially means network email runs at 1 megahertz. Same with Web searches. Instant messaging runs at 100 kilohertz, SMS at 1 kilohertz. The Machine's total external RAM is about 200 terabytes. In any one second, 10 terabits can be coursing through its backbone, and each year it generates nearly 20 exabytes of data. Its distributed "chip" spans 1 billion active PCs, which is approximately the number of transistors in one PC.

This planet-sized computer is comparable in complexity to a human brain. Both the brain and the Web have hundreds of billions of neurons (or Web pages). Each biological neuron sprouts synaptic links to thousands of other neurons, while each Web page branches into dozens of hyperlinks. That adds up to a trillion "synapses" between the static pages on the Web. The human brain has about 100 times that number - but brains are not doubling in size every few years. The Machine is." - Wired Magazine, "We Are The Web"

The Moon Set Up Us The Bomb

I remain utterly fascinated by the recent events in Boston. On Facebook I discivered the "I Survived the Aqua Teen Hunger Force Terrorist Attack!" group, and it sparked me to spend a few more hours poking around in the blogosphere. I figured I would share some highlights:

Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Media Censors/Alters Photos

Updated: Boston Mooninite installers arrested

And of course there are already T-shirts:

And this guy...


The men who installed the scarry LEDs make a statement to the press....About 70's Hairstyles.



Boston LED terror scare: a message to the media


The news broadcasts made multiple claims, "...and no one is laughing"......I'm still laughing....and I think most of the blog culture is also laughing....a lot.

I Hope The Department of Homeland Security Can See This Because I'm Doing It As Hard As I Can.

Mooninites Invade Boston; Everyone Freaks The Fuck Out.
Settle down people! It's just some LEDs, no one has, "set up us the bomb".

ignignokt: if you have a problem with that maybe you should take that up with mr. laser

ignignokt: you will be destroyed

ignignokt: the explosion shall be of extraordinary magnitude/just hang on

On a somewhat related note, check out the Homeland Security Advisory Tower cooked up over at the Grafgiti Research Labs
