Pretty amazing creation I think, my fingers hurt to look at it though.

I think it would be pure awesome if the word "DOOMED" replaced all filler words. Instead of, "So umm... I was thinking that you should replace the uhhhh... coffee filter." or "The chart shows the uhhhh... projections for umm... 2013."; you would get "So DOOMED I was thinking that you should...
Robin Hansen has a lot of thoughful posts I think.
Here is relatively new one, title "Dear Young Eccentric", that I liked:

Here is excerpt from it:
We humans are conformist — we typically prefer folks who fall in the middle...
I like to think of little things that will be possible sometime in the future. So I thought it would be fun to make a thread to make such predictions and discuss them.
Prediction: People will be able to alter the dna of individual skin cells, inserting bioluminescence genes, to create a...

It's an interesting read. I particularly liked:

I have thankfully gotten back on track for exercising. One of the ways I pass time while on the ellipticals is to get my heart rate nice and steady. Then I start thinking, maybe doing math problems or daydreaming or thinking about work and watching my heart rate increase.
I was curious if...
I was reading mindhacks.com and they had an entry that referenced a couple of articles I thought were interesting.

I was registering on Koei's website and the form has a checkbox that says: "Please leave this box blank".
I thought it was funny but it does make curious.
I have an Congo African Gray, named Hercules. I didn't name but a girl at the store I got him at did saying that she was having a bad day and that she got to name him. There was more meaning in Hercules though not specifically for me than I could come up with in a new name. So he kept his old...
I have enjoyed the various Sims. It provides a wonderful venue for me to play out my alter ego's. Too many countless hours have I spent playing them over the years.
I think one of the greatest things is to be walking in a familiar place and be surprised with something of incalculable beauty.
Perhaps because it was my first encounter with this phenomenon, but will I always remember this one time in Minot, ND. I was probably nine and several blocks from my...
An interesting article on Overcoming Bias: Do we believe everything we are told
The article then goes on to explain an experiment which seems to support Spinoza's view. People processing information differently depending on whether they are distracted or not. The difference, is a very...
From wikipedia:
In one of the campfire scenes late in the 2007 documentary Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten, a Granada friend states that Joe wept when he heard that the phrase "Rock the Casbah" was written on an American bomb that was to be detonated on Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War. The...
I learned I was INTP long ago, confessedly with mixed feelings. So much easier knowing I was different, perhaps even alien. The idea enraptured me as a child and I privately wondered how the aliens altered the unborn child that was to become me. I nursed a hope that they wouldn't leave me on...
