Facewound is an excellent homebrew side-scrolling action game that's currently still in preview. It features zombies, bullet time, and a full arsenal of weaponry. It's not web based, but it does feature some nice special effects for those of you with good graphics cards (not required). Also, it's very friendly to custom maps and skins. Here is the download page for those who want to get right into it. All and all, a good way to waste a Saturday.

Brains and beauty, etc.

Brains and beauty, etc. 04/16/2004 06:27 PM
A brain study released today shows that the human ability to appreciate aesthetics is based in the prefontal cortex, part of the brain involved in decision making. The scientists at the Balearic Islands University in Spain came to this conclusion by imaging their subjects' brains while looking at art and photography. According to the study, quoted in Scientific American, "'a phylogenetic change in the prefontal cortex could give way to the decorative and artistic profusion' in humans."
Another study published today by Northwestern University suggests that "Eureka!" moments of insight activate "a distinct area in the right hemisphere of the brain's temporal cortex," a region where semantic connections occur.

"For thousands of years people have said that insight feels different from more straightforward problem solving," one of the researchers said. "We believe this is the first research showing that distinct computational and neural mechanisms lead to these breakthrough moments."

`The matrix has its roots in primitive arcade games,' said the voice-over, `in early graphics programs and military experimentation with cranial jacks.' William Gibson, Neuromancer - 1984 It was still very much a 300 baud universe when I jacked into Gibson's future for the first time. In 1984 there were very few systems I could connect to with the surplus CAE acoustic modem I had access to, and almost all of them were a forbidden long distance telephone call away. My borrowed deck suffered from sensory deprivation and just like a person, it hallucinated. It hallucinated games.

Searching Brains Not Documents

Scoble made my week and truly inspired me with this comment::

Here's a homework project. Go to the RSS Search engine. Now go to Google. Search for these words: "InfoPath" and "OneNote." What do you notice? I like the quality of the RSS results a LOT better. [_Go_]

I was thinking about this a lot and the best analogy I can give you this the following:

1. We've all debated ad nauseum what blogs are.  But the one I like best is that "a blog is a conversation".  It might tbe with your friends, your employees, your customers or yourself (if no one's reading).
   
2. Conversation is a product of the brain.  What else can it be?
   
3. What this is shaping up to be is not a document centric search engine at all.  Its shaping up to being a conversation centric search engine or as I'm starting to think of it -- searching the brains of all the smart people out there that are talking about things.

Rewiring Mouse Brains

Rewiring Mouse Brains 08/29/2004 04:24 PM
A recent MIT press release describes new discoveries about the plasticity of mammal brains. Mriganka Sur and other researchers at the Picower Center for Learning and Memory at MIT "rewired" the brains of mice to receive visual information in the region of their brains normally used for hearing. The modified mice responded to flashes of light as if they had heard sounds. The researchers suggest that if human brains share this level of adaptability, if may be possible to reroute signals in people with brain disease or injury, helping them recover normal sensory or emotional responses. For more information on the research visit the Mriganka Sur Lab website or see Sur's paper, Rewiring the cortex: Cross-modal plasticity and its implications for cortical development and function (PDF format).
