The Secret Life of Chaos Part I
Can I please get 10 minutes of your time to watch this first of 6 parts of a BBC documentary about the strange and mysterious connection between order and chaos? Thank you!

Masterclass web 2.0
My head is still a bit spinning because of the little masterclass web 2.0 I just got from my good friend and internet guru Wout. He explained me how Posterous worked. First he drew the drawing you see above. Then he took a picture of the drawing with my phone. Then he mailed it via my phone to my new posterous blog. The posterous blog then automaticly sent it to my Flickr, Twitter and Facebook accounts where the picture appeared. My Flickr account is linked to this blog as you can see on your right. I copied the image location and posted it in this blogpost. That’s how it goes nowadays folks!
Looks pretty simple if I write it down like that, but just some years back there were no mobile phones, digital cameras and internet. So if you would have heard this story back then, you probably would have thought that somebody was trying to create a wormhole from a parallel universe to kidnap all of human kind…

The Missing
Photo project by Gustavo Germano.
Yeah, well Gustavo, it sure looks nice and all, but thanks a lot for reminding us again that we’re all gonna die.
Dr. Aubrey the Grey should just work a little bit harder…

Mutating
By looking at this clip it looks like humanity is on direct course to be fully mutated with internet.
Hmm, maybe it’s time for me to say farwell to Facebook…
Naaah, not yet.
(Thanks Wout!)

What the fuck happens when we die?
We think they are coming close to an answer! After the prospective scientific study of our own Dr. Pim van Lommel on near-death experiences and out-of-the-body experiences, which appeared in the world’s leading medical journal ‘The Lancet‘ in 2001, now the medical world seems to have woken up and are starting a a 3-year exploration of the biology behind “out-of-body” experiences. Since we all actually are secret science nerds @ AK, we will follow this closely and report here.

The Cyber Carpet
The Cyber Carpet is an invention (with a nerdy name) based on movement that is presumed to be a giant leap in the world of virtual reality. The treadmill that goes in every direction will make it possible that you can physically walk through virtual worlds. Just some years ago Sony filed a patent for a technology that would allow a virtual world, complete with sounds and smells, to be projected directly into the brain. Where will this end bothers and sisters? Let’s say that in some 200 years we will find out that we ourselves are just one big Playstation game. Ninininini!

Hologramming
Can’t wait to get a Playstation 6! Or 7… or 9… or maybe a 12. I don’t know when, but this, or something similar, for sure will be integrated in games one day.

Quarter Mile Groove
“The recording translates the length of its vinyl groove into audio allowing listeners to experience the 1/4 mile length of the spiral as the record is played. Every inch of the needle’s path is audible in the form of a click, each foot as a beat and distances of 10 feet are heard as a blip. These sounds gradually slow as the stylus approaches the center, (the stylus travels less distance in the groove with each revolution of the record). Along the way, the voice of the narrator mentions the horizontal dimensions of particular objects.”
Groovy!

Holy Robot
This robot, installed at the 3d International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Seville, writes down the whole bible. “The machine draws the calligraphic lines with high precision. Like a monk in the scriptorium it creates step by step the text.” Great to see how two extremes of today (religion and science) are brought together. (Thanks LouLou!)

Golden Ratio Discovered in Quantum World
I’m not going to lie about this one. When I read a title like this I get butterflies in my stomach, because a) I love the Golden Ratio or the Devine proportion (I even have a tattoo of it on my arm), and b) I’m actually a huge nerd.
“Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB), in cooperation with colleagues from Oxford and Bristol Universities, as well as the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, UK, have for the first time observed a nanoscale symmetry hidden in solid state matter. They have measured the signatures of a symmetry showing the same attributes as the golden ratio famous from art and architecture.”
So, Phi is not only in our visual world (in all flora and fauna, music, art, architecture, stockmarkets, you name it), but also in the smallest invisible nano quantum world. So ‘a God’ definately left a fingerprint in everything he ‘created’.

Touch wall
A giant touch screen by Intel on the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this year. Looks pretty nifty.
