New Facts of Life
I read this short article in Wired -- it's a nice, concise article about the convergence of biology and technology -- the treating of technology as if it was alive and watching as behaviour emerges from what wasn't and isn't necessarily alive. Makes you think all phylisophical about it -- what is life? This is all about technology adopting what practices that were once solely the domain of life -- such as (co)evolution, reproduction, self-organization, etc. The article is by Christopher Meyer -- co-author of It's Alive: The Coming Convergence of Information, Biology, and Business -- a book I am now interested in reading.
Blogs of Note
Who Would Jesus Hate? -- described as providing "anecdotal evidence of how religion is on the wrong side of every social issue." Fugetaboutit! -- hilarious site from a "48-year-old shrinking Italian comedian ." Take the tagline for instance: "I saw the face of Jesus in my lasagna ... briefly."
