Strage experience, last night. Breathing Meditation.

Mirrormask - [Sock Puppets/Flyover]--- Breathing out, while visualising contraction, breathing in, and visualising expansion. It gets very disorienting, in a really interesting way.

Dreams of metal and glass pipes; dangerous structures and instruments, which cut deep, if you held them wrong. (The Cure - [The Love Cats]). but that's all I remember, and I did finish Soul Music, again, last night, so it makes sense that I'd dream something like that.

Teaching classes, today.

Hi-Ho.

Hal Duncan tells us some neat things

Notes From The Geek Show: Out With The Old, In With The New

This is a pretty neat contest. Give it a shot.

Harry Frankfurt, on the Daily Show:

Harry Frankfurt was on the Daily Show, tonight, talking about his new book On Truth. His previous book was called On Bullshit. No, I'm not kidding.

Ever heard of Frankfurt Examples? Here's a taste:

You go to the store to buy a soda. Unbeknownst to you, someone has wired themselves into your brain, while you were sleeping. They can see what you're going to choose, and change your mind for you, if they don't like your choices. If you choose a Coke, at the store, then you're fine, but if you choose anything else, then the nefarious neurologist will press the button and make you change your mind. So you're sitting there, thinking "I Like Coke, I really do... But I eally like Dr Pepper, too... Hm..." But, in the end, you choose a Coke. No manipulation necessary. But, if you had chosen that Dr Pepper, the Neurologist would have changed your mind, right? So Is Your Choice Really Free?

This type of example was designed to show that free will does not require the ability to choose otherwise.

This is what I've decided to do with my life.

Awesome.
