South Park ‘battling’ Scientology. Fuck yeah!
Wired News has a great article on lie detectors.
Reggie has been offered the chance to interview Dennett.
Jeffrey Shallit has a great takedown of Nancy Pearcey, ignoramus extraordinaire.
How does Boing Boing influence traffic? Cory just showed me.
If I wasn’t in Real Life company, I’d be far more obscene about this story.
Dorkbot London
I’m currently at the Limehouse Town Hall, checking out the cool techie stuff that’s going on at Dorkbot London. Lots of people playing with electrical stuff, screwing around with Sudden Motion Sensors, video art, electrical stuff that blows up, monitors that arehooked up to musical synthesisers.
The wifi is very, very shaky, and it almost feels like a squat. Very cool though.
There’s a guy with tubes which he lets small electrical explosions go off in, and it can make a very odd type of music.
Upstairs there’s a whole bunch of people drinking some very odd brew of tea, in here there’s flames going on, and next to me there’s a guy who seems to be controlling his Mac using his PSP.
If you want ‘unconference’, this is it.
What’s actually going on? I’m not sure that I know, but it’s good fun.
My parents have just booked tickets to Moscow. Much as I’d love to go to Russia, it’s cold enough for me in London at the moment.
