http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV1bRfLHA3A - Muse – Knights of Cydonia. This is one of the coolest music videos I have seen in a while. Pure genius!
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/184 - Vilayanur Ramachandran: A journey to the
center of your mind. This is a very interesting talk on the nature of the human brain and the way in which it functions. Very cool!

- Hod Lipson Robots that are “Self Aware." Not what I expected from the title, but I guess I should have guessed. Alt. title: Robots that map their own structure and develop a gait based on that structure.

- Paul Rothemund: Casting Spells with DNA. This is just awesome. The possible future applications of this technique make it possible to overcome our current limitations when it comes to the miniaturization of computer parts.

– Foo Fighters – The Pretender. First song on a pretty solid album. The video is very good as well.

| I bring it upon myself to share cool stuff I find with you all. Thus I present these two videos. The first is a silent demonstration of a real-time interactive 3-d hologram, Star Wars style. The ending hologram is the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF1vFTQOWN4 The next video is from TED. Dean Kamen is at it again. In a video that can only be described as totally sweet, he unveils his newest gadget made to ease suffering throughout the world and increase the quality of life for those who are unfortunate to have lost a limb. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/82 Enjoy! |
