mashups part 2
Tracking back the links...
- jason buckley
- empty-handed
- comment says the Beasties themselves made a better mashup on Sounds of Science
- dr menlo
- orbitalworks
- Weird, boing boing is listed as a trackback, but I can't find the link on the site. Was it removed? Google's cache of boing boing starts at the 20th, so no luck there.

- metafilter got it
- In comments, someone points to the Mash Ave site and DJ BC's site.
mashups
Ok, I didn't care much for Dangermouse's Jay-Z mix, but I like this one...
[There used to be a link to the Beastles mix here, but it is gone now]
Which lead to some reading about the mashup on the Fleetwood Mash band. And the history of the mashup.
More mashup links here.

scalar systems and tesla
Tesla's name comes up a lot, but then that leads to alien technology, which is a black hole of unsupported claims.
the singularity
Patrick Salsbury has a theory.
"Some mathematicians plotted the asymptotic graphs of all of humanity's technological developments and projected them out to the point where they all, relatively simultaneously, hit infinity. The day that they arrived at is December 21st, 2012."
"...if we take a look at some of the really species-changing events in our history, we see 3 really MAJOR developments that changed the entire course of human history. 1) The Agricultural Revolution. 2) The Industrial Revolution. 3) The Information Revolution."
"30,000 years ago, we learned how to farm. 350 years ago, we learned how to mass-produce machines. About 50 years ago, we learned how to build computers. As you can see, the _rate_ of change is increasing, as is the ability afforded by the change."
"According to the mathematical model, we should see approximately *61* more of these species-changing developments before 12/21/2012! All of the same magnitude as the three noted above! Again, it's only a model, but they predict 18 of those changes on the last day, and 13 of _those_ to happen in the last FRACTION OF A SECOND, as things accelerate towards that infinity point."
preparing for the future
In the winter solstice of 2012, 8 years from now, something will happen that will change the course of history. We will enter into a new long count, according to the Mayan calendar, which was synchronized with the Galactic Alignment that will occur in this date. This blog is a collection of links and notes as to what that change may be.

networks
Blogs are networks. This is the key:
"The real-time visual processing performed by insects, as described by Tom Daniel in his PopTech lecture this fall, is just one example of how efficiently biological systems can crunch data."
useful links
Provides a password for logging onto news sites that require a password to read them, like the New York Times or LA Times.
Reposts links from a bunch of blogs, sorted by popularity. A good way to get a list of what people are interested in during the day.
