I've posted quite a few pics from here into the "images" thread here at RI. Like this one:



But the dude is really into women, and there's quite a bit of artsy nude stuff there, too, sometimes pretty erotic. Just so you know. NSFW.

I just found Zooniverse, a really cool site where:

The Zooniverse's aim is to provide a home for a whole suite of projects which will enable anyone with a web browser to contribute to science. Whether you're inspired to classify galaxies, hunt supernovae, or take part in one of the projects which will launch over the coming weeks and months, we hope that Zooniverse will help you find a project that's right for you.

Nearly 321,000 members and still growing. I joined to help to classify galaxies, since I've spent most of my life painting them and already know the forms and their names, but I don't think that prior knowledge is required.

The guy who wrote the article you linked to, looks like Julian Assange's father (or at least uncle or older brother):


Here's Assange:

Going in a different direction ...here is some photographic art which I really like. His name is Emerson Matabele. I saw his work at an art fair and it moved me to tears. There was just something about it that exuded "trueness".

Hope you enjoy! This is a small sample of his work.

We can always use more beauty in this world. Emerson is able to capture the beauty of simple sights and show us how to see them through new eyes. He is a very unique individual.

1975: And the Changes To Come

Push-Button Learning. Teaching machines break complicated subject matter into bit-by-bit segments, permitting each student to progress at his own pace. This machine, for example (called the "AutoTutor"), first presents a unit of information. Then come questions based on what the student has learned, together with alternate answers. If the student presses the right buttons for the answers, he is "rewarded" with a new unit of study which appears on the machine. If he flubs the answers, a paragraph of text appears on the screen setting him right, and then he tries again. On the right is a classroom demonstration of the machine -- a scene that will be commonplace in future years in most schools.
