Video portal launches on Disney.com.

Super proud of the Disney Interactive Labs team. They put a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and sleepless nights to make this happen.

It’s slickity-slick.

“From there, the conversation took a surrealist twist, when Kenyatta Cheese introduced Toxoplasmosis - a disease affecting pregnant women, contracted through cat droppings - as a metaphor for memes. The panel debated the possibility that much like we often see in the animal kingdom, “viral” content has a mind of its own, so to speak, and bends the behavior of internet-users to its will. Put more realistically, the panel raised interesting questions about whether cultural memes affect our behavior - how much control we have over content, and how much control it exerts over us without our knowing.”

How We Share Content And Why - Adrants

Actually, they’re being waaaaaaay too kind. I wasn’t suggesting toxoplasmosis as a metaphor for memes. I was suggesting that memes are an emergent form of life that use humans to propagate.

We always talk about this stuff with us (humans) at the center. Maybe we’re just nodes that happen to have a flicker of self awareness.

Later, when someone writes a Matrix-esque film about how the sentient Internet actually created humanity so that it could exist, I want to see Kenyatta credited as an EP.

These are my friends. They make me proud.

earth-song:

iamthewalrustoned: The giant golden-crowned flying fox (Acerodon jubatus), also known as the golden-capped fruit bat, is a rare megabat and one of the largest bats in the world. The species is endangered and is currently facing the possibility of extinction because of poaching and forest destruction. It is endemic to forests in the Philippines.

What dark magic is this!?!

violent-buddhist: The Quietest Place on Earth Will Drive You...

violent-buddhist:

The Quietest Place on Earth Will Drive You Insane Within 45 Minutes

There’s a small room in Minnesota thatblocks out 99% of all external sound. That’s an impressive number! Also impressive: nobody can take more than 45 minutes alone in the room before they go nuts.

The Daily Mail describes Orfield Labs’ anechoic chamber—perfect for making extremely sensitive audio measurements. But also perfect for sending you into a hallucinatory hell so hellacious you’ll need a chair:

‘When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You’ll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly. ‘In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.’ And this is a very disorientating experience. Mr Orfield explained that it’s so disconcerting that sitting down is a must. He said: ‘How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don’t have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance and manoeuvre. If you’re in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.’

That sounds swell. Just the serene quiet of you, your thoughts, and the unceasing pounding of the human heart. Your brain can’t take it, apparently, and begins to fabricate sounds that aren’t really there—completely delusional noises meant to block out the churning of your own horrid biomass.

For activists in the YouTube generation, video is the way to be heard
"A growing number of young activists are turning to video as a forum for instant political commentary or an eye-catching tool to mobilize on behalf of social change. They might create videos and spread them through social-networking sites such as Facebook. They might remix existing video clips into mashups-with-messages. They might borrow from the tropes of the most popular videos on YouTube, which turned five years old last month, marrying serious substance with lighthearted style."

The Role Of Curation In Journalism
"These days, everyone is a curator of the news in some fashion: they share news, comment on it, post about it, etc. But they also look to the "pros" to add more value to it as well. But if the traditional press looks down on this function, they won't do a particularly good job of it."
