he reactable, is a multi-user electronic music instrument with a tabletop
tangible user interface. Several simultaneous performers share complete
control over the instrument by moving physical objects on a luminous table
surface. By moving and relating these objects, representing components of a
classic modular synthesizer, users can create complex and dynamic sonic
topologies, with generators, filters and modulators, in a kind of tangible
modular synthesizer or graspable flow-controlled programming language.

amazing how simply adding some music to some well worn footage can
upset people
so much

About prosopagnosia suffers, who can’t recognise faces. Fascinating
stuff.

ps. yes, spent a lot of time in airports this weekend. Lots of
reading. But a bumper issue of wired made it much easier.

Good to know:
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6175604.stm
I’m *sure* they’ll enforce it, just as they enforce all the other
rules on buses, and provide such a wonderful service.

I actually appeared on Tiswas, standing behind Chris Tarrant and
Sally James with a pair of over-sized comedy ears on.

Afraid to say I was more of a ‘Swap Shop’ kid (draw your own
conclusions):
news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6176184.stm
But still liked Spit the dog and the whole custard pie thing.

obviously we’ve all seen www.pornotube.com
which is the obvious use of web2.0-video-sharing…
i just found this one:
www.liveleak.com/
which concentrates on all sorts of nastiness, mainly kids horribly
injuring
themselves on skateboards and suchlike – well worth a few minutes
clicking
about to remind yourself just how much ‘fun’ the internet can be…

OK, just wanted to pick this up again… Eric had suggested a
christmas beenz get-together, and time is marching on.
Neil and I can be in London on Wednesday 6th or Thursday 7th of
December, and as nobody else has suggested any dates, I’ll put those
forward as the mooted dates, and ask for votes on those:
7th gets my vote.
Venue TBD. Suggestions welcome on that front.
If there’s an apathetic response, we’ll just ding it, and perhaps
Neil and I will just go sit in a dingy pub somewhere and talk about
the lot of you behind your backs.

Besides the not-particularly-new “Atheists are the most untrusted
minority” theme that does the rounds (and is implied here), the “An
atheist business leader running for president” is interesting, esp.
when Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and more than a few other well known
business types are, if not strictly atheists, well regarded humanists:

via /.
politics.slashdot.org/politics/06/11/19/2252229.shtml
Still, as somebody who’s no fan of Bill Gates’ business practices,
I’ll say I’ve a lot of admiration for what he’s up to with his
stockpile of money. Has to beat the “abstinence and no condoms” edict
of the bush administration which seems to be doing nothing but harm.
Agree that he’s probably got more power as is, than as a president…
