Not mad into rugby, but when it comes to excuses to drink at lunchtime, I’ll stomach it.

I wrote at TechCrunch:

Despite the efforts of many different organizers over the years software developers have resisted unionization. The relatively high pay and good working conditions of developers, the stereotype of geeks as loners and the general decline of unions in the U.S….

Kentucky meat shower

Kentucky meat shower:

readmorewikipedia:

On March 3, 1876 in a 100 by 50 yard area near Olympia Springs, Bath County, Kentucky, large chunks of red meat fell from the sky for a period of a couple of minutes.

Apparently the meat appeared to be beef, but two locals who tasted it stated that it tasted like mutton or venison.

HEXEN 2.0

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 23:50:54 +0100

HEXEN 2.0:

HEXEN 2.0 looks into histories of scientific research behind government programmes of mass control, investigating parallel histories of countercultural and grass roots movements. HEXEN 2.0 charts, within a framework of post-WWII U.S. governmental and military imperatives, the coming together of scientific and social sciences through the development of cybernetics, the history of the internet, the rise of Web 2.0 and increased intelligence gathering, and implications for the future of new systems of societal manipulation towards a control society.

Nearly missed this when it was in London - tucked away in a corner of the science museum. I nearly cried it was so up my street. Linking Huxley, Diogenes, Stafford Beer, William Gibson, NBIC and John Zerzan together in sprawling diagrams and tarot deck was almost too much for me.

(via The Black Hole | Futility Closet)

If Satan plays miniature golf, this is his favorite hole. A ball struck at A, in any direction, will never find the hole at B — even if it bounces forever.

The idea arose in the 1950s, when Ernst Straus wondered whether a room lined with mirrors would always be illuminated completely by a single match.

Straus’ question went unanswered until 1995, when George Tokarsky found a 26-sided room with a “dark” spot; two years later D. Castro offered the 24-sided improvement above. If a candle is placed at A, and you’re standing at B, you won’t see its reflection anywhere around you — even though you’re surrounded by mirrors.

Satan could just take two shots?

thesociologist:

Philip Glass, composer (also the cousin of This American Life’s Ira Glass).

Occupy Wall Street went up to protest at Lincoln Center last night during a performance of Philip Glass’ opera Satyagraha. When the Satyagraha listeners emerged from the Met, police directed them to leave via side exits, but protesters began encouraging them to disregard the police, walk down the steps, and listen to Glass speak. Hesitantly at first, then in a wave, they did so. The composer proceeded to recite the closing lines of Satyagraha.

“When righteousness withers away and evil rules the land, we come into being, age after age, and take visible shape, and move, a man among men, for the protection of good, thrusting back evil and setting virtue on her seat again.”
