I like to think that the people there notice me

And the week has flown by again. Leaving all plans in its dust. This week though has seen the Big G’s I/O conference begin – though it’s disappointing to not hear about cosplayers dressing up as their favourite Google apps.

To make up for that let down, this time around there’s lots of talk about the glass, as one might expect. There’s also lots of fun science thing to read about, astronomy, neurology and biology, as well as plenty on new technology, including an interesting piece on the new drones and just what their proliferation may entail. As you scan down the list you’ll find a lot of art and design articles, some really interesting things. And that’s a lot less than originally planned as well.

Read on and enjoy:

Oh, and don’t fear losing your privacy, soon enough you’ll never have had any to begin with.

That is super creepy

And here’s another long list of things from this week. It would have been shorter, except life doesn’t always work out that way. So before it gets so long as to be nearly untenable, here’s the interesting parts. And at the same time manage to cover pretty much every category that’s been used already.

Pathology and anonymity, musicians and magicians, and jedi and Google glass. Consoles and attention spans, confusing computers and grown ups alike, and buildings and beverages. Role playing and karaoke, and Deadpool and Google glass. And it all ends with a final simulation:

Don’t lose your head.

It’ll be a great trick at parties

Quite a bit in today’s collection. The topic du jour, Glass by Google, makes its reappearance, more than once. But there is so much more as well. Laughs, new games, old games, Anonymous, the now infamous hacking law, DNA reconstructions, some old old language ideas, a website for books and one take on just what the internet is. And that’s only a really really brief run down of the two dozen or so links.

So jump in and enjoy. It’s all a mess, but well worth the time:

After all, if nobody reads this is it all just self-gratification?

It’s the weekend. It was also Free Comic Book Day yesterday. Lots of free comics. Lots of fun. I hope everyone gathered their free comics and made good use of them.

Some interesting fill this time around: Google Glass appears to be a popular topic of discussion at the moment, I wonder why? The same goes for Bitcoin. Some Wesley Crusher crushing is going on, and what to do with 3 wishes. Some interesting opinions on quitting the internet and 3D printers, as well as furniture that has it’s own woven-in circuitry. Someone asks, does it rain on the internet? and a disturbing look at operations when performed by the creepiest of the creepy. Enjoy!

Sleep well little teddy bears.

Yessir, it’s a quick revisit between posts this time around. I ended up with a large number of worthwhile relinks. And yes, I just repost links I find through feeds. Not imaginative and not at all hard work. The hardest part is working out what’s worth linking here. Serious thought material there.

Anywa, onto the links. There’s actually a little more humour this time around, and some quite serious points as well. Google Glass rears it’s ugly frame again, while someone else discovers the odds [almost certainly miscalculated] of your death. Sexism and juvenile arrests. Games and fortune cookies. Real robots and an interactive comic. Zombie movies and some fiction? How not to use SMS texts and how you can abuse one armed bandits [illegally]. “Why nerds are cool”, by a lifetime achievement winner in Nerditry starts us off:

And that should end it well enough for today.
