To put this into perspective, if every permutation of a Rubik's Cube was lined up end to end, it would stretch out approximately 261 light years. If they were laid side by side, it would cover the Earth approximately 256 times.



The mynde, forsooth thoughe it bee inclosed
within this mortal bodye, yet for that it is of a stronger
nature, it sõwhat trãsfourmeth and fascioneth the bodie
after it selfe, especially if the vehement instigation of
the spirit approche the violent inclination of nature: this
is the cause we see oftentymes suche men as bee vertuous die
more cherefully, then those that make pastyme contynually,
& bee yeouê vnto all kynd of pleasures

If after that last one you need some sanity.

"I remember the first time I really understood what it was to be an American...What it was to be a patriot."

"I was just a kid...A million years ago, it seems sometimes. Maybe twelve. I was reading Mark Twain.

And he wrote something that struck me right down to my core...something so powerful, so true, that it changed my life. I memorized it so I could repeat it to myself, over and over across the years. He wrote --'In a republic, who is the country?

Is it the government which is for the moment in the saddle? Why, the government is merely a temporary servant: it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. It's function is to obey orders, not originate them.

Who, then is the country? Is it the newspaper? Is it the pulpit? Why, these are mere parts of the country, not the whole of it, they have not command, they have only their little share in the command.

In a monarchy, the king and his family are the country: In a republic it is the common voice of the people each of you, for himself, by himself and on his own responsibility, must speak.

It is a solemn and weighty responsibility, and not lightly to be flung aside at the bullying of pulpit, press, government, or the empty catchphrases of politicians.

Each must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, and which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man.

To decide it against your convictions is to be an unqualified and inexcusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may.

If you alone of all the nation shall decide one way, and that way be the right way according to your convictions of the right, you have your duty by yourself and by your country. Hold up your head. You have nothing to be ashamed of'."

Cap continues, "Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right.

This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences.

When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree besides the river of truth, and tell the whole world--

--No you move."


This is the way I live

I've wanted to try this out since I first heard about it. Dark Side of the Raindow-esque!


Discovery what a beautiful thing

The defense industry gets it first. In the same way they have a functional robot soldier now, and in 6 months to a year anyone with the scratch will probably be able to purchase a pair as robo guards for their home. The average citizen of the world may be able to stop using traditional computer monitors in not so long. Phase in a whole generation of remote store travels, you could remove windows in cars and allow the driver to operate by remote viewing from the interior or the safety of a home. No more wires, no more tires. When will cars fly already.

Things change, grow, transform, adapt, morph, katamari tamashii!

At least the official statement is

"The NAO will rely on existing, longstanding practice and procedures established by the Intelligence Community to ensure the appropriate protection of privacy and civil liberties."

I've been feeling ill hope it's nothing




The robot featured above seems real tame now that i've been reading about nanobiobots. A word which my spellcheck doesn't want to recognize.

I understand that religious and conservative attitudes which seek to limit research into the most dark and dank caverns of science fiction might be trying to avoid some sort of frankenstein fate for humanity, but siriusly.

every day things get a little less sane

makes me feel like nothing is true and everything is permitted

heres to all tomorrows parties, the singularity, and 2012


It's good to be back at school
