Fantastic...

A very horrible horror story...

...And by very horrible I mean very good; Not horrific in the instinctual sense, mind you, (If that's your game, here are two stories which might stick with you for a while) but a bit of very spry, very literate dark-fantasy.

Enjoy...

...if you dare!

A piece of trivia

Apparently the co-scriptwriter for the original TRON was(or is) Alan "Smalltalk" Kay's wife. Mr. Kay popularized the idea of object oriented programming. I wonder how that idea impacted the writing of the film, given that the concept of object orientation involves solving a given task with multiple, independent intelligent agents.

The Dalai Lama on "All in the Mind"

Australian radio recently aired a fascinating three-part discussion with the Dalai Lama. The panel discusses neuro-plasticity, behaviorism, morality, and positive psychology. (Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3)

Duchamp on French TV

This is my favorite video I've seen on UbuWeb, so far. It is an hour long interview with Marcel Duchamp that aired on French TV in the early '60s. I visited the most important Duchamp collection last Tuesday, at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The main Duchamp room was full Boy Scouts. They looked upset and confused. Later on I passed them and they were joking about how they would be doing the public a favor if they were to smash the art. (Link.)
