Weapons Against Robots
Oct 27th
We are rushing toward the future much faster than we realize and the speed of that rush is increasing exponentially. The future is much more diverse and complex than we can realize. It’s like the difference between riding along a country lane in a horse drawn buggy and flying through the asteroid belt in a space ship. We will be most surprised by dangers that we didn’t expect. Unknown to many, robots are already nearing the tipping point and will soon be pervasive.

CERN Black Hole – The Big Rewind
Sep 16th
View this FULL SCREEN for best effect!
CERN’s massive particle collider (Large Hadron Collider or LHC) is a 17 mile ring of supercooled magnets buried 330 feet underground on the Swiss/French border. LHC’s computational and data infrastructure is made up of tens of thousands of computers around the world. The first particle collisions will occur in October 2008. The collisions will be recorded on LHC’s detectors – huge digital cameras that weigh thousands of tons and capable of taking millions of snapshots per second. The LHC experiments could reveal more about dark matter/anti-matter and hidden dimensions of time and space.

Popular Global Social Networks
Aug 26th
Facebook is Number 1 Globally but MySpace is still most popular in the United States. Pingdom.com used Google Insights for Search to compare search volume comparisons across global regions and thereby assess Social Network popularity. They looked at the google data to see where the 12 top social networks are most popular. The social networks in this survey were MySpace, Facebook, Hi5, Friendster, LinkedIn, Orkut, Last.fm, LiveJournal, Xanga, Bebo, Imeem and Twitter. Social networking is obviously global. Interestingly, certain social networks are popular in some countries but not in others. Is this due to marketing, demographics, cultural preferences?
