There's a bit of technical stuff on there, but don't worry. YOu don't have to understand the scripts he explains to see what the result is.

If everyone is different, then no one is the same. With no definition of the normal, aren't we all insane?

I own the book for that. :P
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Quote

Japan's Dai Nippon Printing Co. (DNP) is set to make the country even more futuristic this fall when they release their transparent "Crystal Illusion Screen" equipped with NXT's where's-that-sound-coming-from SoundVu technology. The screen itself measures a respectable 46 inches in old-school 4:3 and is coated with a special liquid crystal material that apparently only reflects the light from the projector, making it usable even in brightly lit areas. NXT's SoundVu system takes the display's flexibility even further, eliminating the need for external speakers, instead magically producing sound from the screen itself. It's not clear, however, if the projector is actually part of the system or if you have to supply your own. We hope it's the former, cause the screen's gonna cost you a hefty 480,000 Yen (over $4,000) when it launches in October.

I found this story of an experiment in human behavior--with its observation on why perhaps people will "take initiative"--to be funny and interesting. It's below the webcomic, in the artist's blog.

This is almost as good as when I discovered that BYU/MTC keys work on some of the locked doors in the LA Times building.

Curse you, Oldie Locks! Now I'm addicted to Ron/Hermione music videos.

I have to say, some of them are clever, how they use the clips and the music. I like I Want a Man.

Thanks for sharing.  ;D
