Quantum Overload-age

Keeping with the recent Quantum Physics theme we have going here. Somewhere along my interweb journeys I found this google video. It's a rip from the movie, "What the Bleep do we know". I really liked the movie, but at times they seem to maybe go a little to far with things. Anyway this is an animated explaination of the Double Slit Electron experiment which is essentially the precursor to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and Schrodinger's Cat.

The way they portray this is a bit creepy, but I guess thats just the nature of our reality.

TV: Teacher, Mother, Secret Lover

I don't know how I feel about a la carte cable but this guy's article was too funny to pass up. If anyone out there can find a dumber way of saying what he said, I'd like to see it in writing.

New Scientist Quantum computer works best switched off - News

Here is a quick article about quantum computing. It paints a good picture of what is going on in a standard quantum computer. A photon is passed through a system of mirrors and optical devices that changes the properties of the photon. But when it gets to part about this "non-running computer" it makes absolutely no sense. It talks about the photon "flirting" with the program rather than actually running through it. So, your program has not run but you have the answer. Supposedly, "a non-running computer produces fewer errors". Well No duh, where I come from non-running computers don't produce anything at all.

the master ladder of intellectual whores.

go to that.
enough said.

Cats watching Cats watching Cats to Infinity!

This is one of the coolest waste of time site's I've seen in quite a while. Well, if you're a cat person that is. Infinity and cats... together!? Sounds good enough for me!

Quantum Physics For Dummies

They put the whole movie up in chapters, via QuickTime. Its about unified theory, it incorporates a lot including string theory. I haven't watched the whole thing yet, I saw the first hour on PBS before. Finishing it now.

So I stumbled upon this

Actually I lied, someone linked me to it. And I guess i'm ruining it for any of you that check it out. You didn't stumple upon it... I showed it to you! psynautic ftw!

Kill Mario: Vol. 1

I don't remember this scene being funny from the movie, but I couldn't help but lol watching it like this. Reminded me of fond Mario 2 memories from my childhood.

secrets secrets are no fun. unless they are for everyone.

this site is cool. and its on blogspot.
GO TO IT and read peoples secrets.

The word I never knew, of the week.

Ok, so I clicked on someones face on myspace. It was under the "cool new people" thing on your homepage. I clicked it because the picture looked tripped out. Well lo' and behold what I found. A whole fetish world this guy was into, that I never knew. I'm not a rookie when it comes to knowledge of the bizarre fetishes possible in modern culture... but somehow this one slipped through the cracks on me. Anyway, I'm still a bit taken aback. Hopefully this will expand some of your minds... most likely in a direction you wish you could turn back from.

What were they thinking?

This is a car I think. Can anyone tell me what the eF they were thinking?

Eureka?!!?

Pretty whacky article, that sent my good friend and eye into a ridiculous coversation about reality and the nature of our universe. It was profoundly interesting to me, and hopefully it'll spark some wonderment in our millions of webizen readers!

Arts & Crafts for Extra Credit

In what could be the most childish, ignorant, backward response possible, Iran's Hamshahri newspaper is going to publish "Holocaust cartoons" as a way of lashing out against recently published cartoons of Muhammad in some Western newspapers. The original uproar began because Islam teaches that a physical representation of Muhammad is forbidden.

In recent months, Iran's young, ultra-idealist leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly tossed out the idea that the Holocaust either never happened, or was grossly exaggerated. Further, he stipulates that if indeed the Holocaust happened as "we say" it happened, then the U.S. and Europe should provide a home for Israel (I thought that was taken care of, but apparently my interpretation of post-WWII world history is wrong).

The cartoon contest will have 12 winners, each of which will receive a shiny gold coin (I'm not joking) from an anonymous donor.

Joe Rogan is whacked out.

I never expected hearing wild stuff like this come from loveable Joe Rogan. You might remember him from "newsradio", and "fear factor". I guess even those in very favorable positions in our society, still are disallusioned with our current path and start looking for answers in very strange places. Mind you, this audio link is quite tripped the eFF out.

I am Batman

My friend Ben sent me a link to this this morning, and for whatever reason it really struck a chord with me. Enough to have me crosslink his blog here. Somewhere from May to now, I lost sight of my goal for the greater good, and settled into a little rut. It kinda reminded me that I should get on track. Its mos def worth a read.

Clandestine Instant Messaging

If you want to use instant messenger at work, without bothering with trashy AOL AIM express, this is the tool. I suppose it could be stealing my password... I'll let ya'll know if i start to have my AIM account usurped.,=D.

SuperSize Me

The McDonalds game is really cool, but like most political satirical games... it gives you an uneasy feeling.

Punxsutawney Phil

Punxsutawney Phil couldnt give 2 shits about the weather or his shadow yesterday. All he had to say for himself was "Here we go Still-ers!" and just before running back into his hole and and thereby decreeing 6 more weeks of winter, "Yinz better git your Terrible Towels out". But Seriously, "6 more weeks of winter"? I didnt even know winter had started, this being just about the warmest year in recorded history If the weather continues to be this erratic we may actually be forced to return to rodents as a method of weather prediction

Upton Sinclair to the ER, paging Mr. Upton Sinclair!

This is really gross. Three guys in Moscow found a dead rat, heat treated, spiced, and seasoned, in a bag of snacking croutons. Eeeeeeeeeewwwww.
