Science and faith: two flowcharts: “Cory Doctorow:
Wellington Grey has two flowcharts, explaining the scientific method and the ‘faith’ method. For science, you get an idea, try it out empirically, evaluate it in the face of new evidence, and modify your idea accordingly. For faith, you get an idea, you believe in it.

Don’t try and tell me jazz is yesterdays music. Here’s how it will sound tomorrow.
So M$ have announced Vienna - the follow up to Vista already! Cop these choice quotes from the bottom of the above linked article.
So what will be the coolest new feature in Vienna?
According to Fathi, that’s still being worked out. “We’re going to look at a fundamental piece of enabling technology. Maybe its hypervisors, I don’t know what it is,” he said. “Maybe it’s a new user interface paradigm for consumers.”
“It’s too early for me to talk about it,” he added. “But over the next few months I think you’re going to start hearing more and more.”
I think it’s soon enough for me to say that maybe you’re talking out of your ass Fathi.
Ballmer: “OK Fathi, my little corporate man-bitch, get out there and tell them some crapola about the “new” shit we’ve got coming OK? Lay some kinda funky Star Trek shit on their asses so that they think we’re gonna out-cool Apple, OK? I gotta stay busy here putting out fires with all of these crits panning the crap outta Vista.”
Personally, I think I’d prefer to spend a few hours staring directly at the midday sun, than trust my peepers to a (doctor evil voice + quotes fingers) ‘hyper-visorrrr’ running any code from M$.
I think maybe Ultravox said it best in the last lines of their classic song….
“This means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh Vienna.”
My brother Karl (aka KES) is putting on a big show this Friday at the Northcote Social Club to launch his new rekkid ‘The Grey Goose Wing’. You all should come down in your finest woolen clothing and each buy 2 CD’s - one for you, and one for your Mum.
KES is in the midst of doing a new record with James Cecil, one of the crazy kids from Architecture in Helsinki. Can’t wait to hear what they come up with…
Here is a pic that KES had on his myspace page. I don’t remember taking it, but apparently I did. That’s my 92 year old pop Ken with him.
Accordioning sofa - mindblowing video: “Cory Doctorow:
There’s not much detail about this extraordinary sofa-design, but the video hints at an intriguing and excellent design. The sofa appears to be made out of hundreds of thin, flat chair-shaped silhouettes, joined together by some kind of membrane in an accordion that can collapse down into a dictionary-think chunk or be spread out for feet on end, as a divan, chair or sofa.
(Thanks, Zaidan!)
