Stare at the red dot on her nose for 30 seconds. Look at the ceiling and blink really quickly. WHAT THE FUCK BRAIN!?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK…. That’s weird as hell. I wonder what happens if you stare at one of the other dots?

Two lessons from the Megaupload seizure →
kateoplis: Glenn Greenwald for Salon: [M]any SOPA opponents were confused and even shocked when they learned that the very power they feared the most in that bill — the power of the U.S. Government to seize and shut down websites based solely on accusations, with no trial — is a power the U.S. Government already possesses and, obviously, is willing and able to exercise even against the world’s...

“This book gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.”
– In 1944 a children’s book club sent a volume about penguins to a 10-year-old girl, enclosing a card seeking her opinion. She wrote, “This book gives me more information about penguins than I care to have.” American diplomat Hugh Gibson called it the finest piece of literary criticism he had ever...

Internet Brain #1
Do you ever find yourself scrolling endlessly through your dashboard waiting for the post that exactly represents your present thought, feeling, goals, mood, etc. Waiting for something else, from someone else to capture the essence of your unique, individual and meaningful experiences and perspectives.
