It’s hard for me to watch Paris Hilton be the one to say this… but is it so hard to believe that maybe both sides have some decent ideas? Is it that far fetched to think we can work together to solve some of these problems? I still say we vote on a President without a running mate and the loser gets the VP gig. That’s just my opinion, I may be wrong, plus there’s not any rich people or various lucrative businesses knocking on my door to give me piles of cash either…
Stanton: They tell you that as a storyteller, it’s vital to just stick with and be honest with your values system. The last thing I want to do is go to a movie and feel like I’m being preached to or being told how to be, and I think it’s more honest—and you’re going to have more effect—to be truthful with the values of your characters, working off of your own values. That was the case with WALL•E. The greatest commandment is to love one another, and to me, that’s the ultimate purpose of living. So that was the perfect goal for the loneliest robot on earth, to learn the greatest commandment, to learn to love.
I’ve been TIVOing “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles“which is set after the events in ‘Terminator 2′ and follows Sarah Connor and her son John, trying to stay under-the-radar from the government as they plot to destroy the computer network Skynet in hopes of preventing Armageddon. I watch them when I get a chance and I’ve yet to watch the season finale, but so far I’ve loved the show. I can’t wait for the new movie to come out, but it all makes this article I just read via Kottke a little freaky…
Henry Markram has built a supercomputer comprised of 2,000 IBM chips that can handle 22.8 trillion operations per second. “Each of its microchips has been programmed to act just like a real neuron in a real brain.”
Blue Brain scientists are confident that, at some point in the next few years, they will be able to start simulating an entire brain. “If we build this brain right, it will do everything,” Markram says. I ask him if that includes selfconsciousness: Is it really possible to put a ghost into a machine? “When I say everything, I mean everything,” he says, and a mischievous smile spreads across his face.
While I’m dreaming about new speakers for my desk, I might as well dream about this Han Solo Carbonite desk (click the link for more photos) created for Mark Hall, lead singer of the Grammy Award-winning group Casting Crowns. This is freakin’ awesome!!!
I can’t wait to see this! I thought he was only doing a new TV series! I hope this is as good as the previous animated Clone Wars. Wonder when the new line of toys will start appearing?
