Think the Show

I am so happy that E.O. Wilson's dream is live and on the intertubes. The Encylopedia of Life is online and it is a very ambitious undertaking. Check out the video...

As far as youTube is concerned I think we all go there to check out the latest viral vids and what interesting things kids are saying these days but it is an excellent resouce for knowledge seekers thanks to Princeton University. I am not the biggest fan of private education... especially elite schools that reward the parents bottom line not the students efforts or achievements but U Channel is an incredible effort by the school to put information out there for those looking for it.
They have 127 videos so far on everything from income inequality to the genocide in Darfur and computing in the cloud. What caught my attention was an interesting podcast you can get here
was an incredible podcast by Dr. James Flynn and his Flynn Effect on the nature of intelligence.

here is a brief video I made to illustrate what I want to do about Thinking and our lack of it haha
Enjoy

This is a great little video to help us think about what and where the future is going. It is from the kids at Shift Happens and it is amazing how it forces us to re-think conventional notions about our assumptions such as what the largest English speaking country is going to be... (answer CHINA!) and exactly how fast technology and technological penetration is occuring (answer EXPONETINALLY).
If one looks at the mess that the planet is dealing with in Iraq, courtesy of Bush and his corporate cronies in the white house one realizes how important it is to THINK ! PS click on the link and rent the film, amazing!

This is my kinda stunt. The kids at Improv Everywhere recently played a hoax on our senses.
