the player-piano-ularity is near
October 9, 2009 by jjosh
Are you ready for Friday?!?!?!?!
If you read some futurists, they have this theory about how fast the speed of technology progression is moving, and it looks like a graph that starts slow and then suddenly goes almost straight up. The moment where it moves from being a sloped line to going straight up is referred to as the Singularity. Once we hit that, technology will progress so fast it will seem almost instantaneous. All kinds of cool stuff to look forward to when that happens: downloading our brains into computers, sending our consciousness across the universe, etc. Some say it might happen in as little as 50 years.
Or so the theory goes.
I will say though, sometimes I feel like I’m seeing so many mind-blowers on various blogs that we must be getting close to that moment. Case in point:
[This was emailed to me from PatH, and I dunno where he got it from…]
And, far be it for me to pile it on, but I just saw this and somehow it seems to fit with the last vid and musings on the future. Our man Carl Sagan, auto-tuned to sing a fantastic and future-minded song about, what else, the Cosmos. When I watch these auto-tuned pieces, I’m always wondering how much work it took to make…

don’t believe the physics

until you check with the vaudevillians…
I remember seeing this routine as a kid and it stuck with me. Even watching it today I can remember the whole shtick that went along with the cube, and how amazing it was to see.

overheard in the deli
October 5, 2009 by jjosh
2 obnoxious girls in their 20’s buying salads.
GIRL A: Can I get just like a side of chickpeas?
GIRL B: She brought her lunch but she just wants some chickpeas. That’s so weird!
GIRL A: I know, I’m weird!(they are laughing really loudly)
GIRL A: We are so annoying right now, I love it!
GIRL B: I know, if I was sitting next to myself on the subway, I’d totally put a gun to my head.Category cam phone pix | Tags: | No Comments

think milk
September 28, 2009 by jjosh
Great quote from a 1966 issue of New Yorker, hooked up by SFJ about information:
“If you ask me, the question is not whether the Beatles are more popular than Jesus but whether information is more popular than knowledge, which it is. That is one of the curses of modern man. We are all Infomaniacs, and our only god is Info. Actually, I see Info as the Goddess of Thin Milk; she feeds us only what can never nourish our souls or bring our thoughts to maturation.”
Why do we blog?

fan video future now grab it!
September 25, 2009 by jjosh
It’s the future, when there are many videos made for a particular song, and none can claim to be the "original". I love it. This is so catchy and fun and reminds me of back when we didn’t have a video camera and had to go borrow one from Sean’s parents just to make a "film". And then we were trying to plug it into the VCR to dub it and add in some music by plugging in a tape player as well somehow and his dad’s camera starting smoking and yepo, we blew it up. Smelled like toxic melted plastic.
Crank this up, zen out and watch to the end. Feel good.
