Way Too Much Information
meta-
adj.,pref. [from analytic philosophy] One level of description up. A metasyntactic variable is a variable in notation used to describe syntax, and meta-language is language used to describe language. This is difficult to explain briefly, but much hacker humor turns on deliberate confusion between meta-levels.
-valent
suff. Having a specified valence or valences.
valence
1. Chemistry. The combining capacity of an atom or radical, determined by the number of electrons that it will lose, add, or share when it reacts with other atoms.
2. The ability of a substance to interact with another or to produce an effect.
3. Psychology. The degree of attraction or aversion that an individual feels toward a specific object or event.
4. Linguistics. The number of arguments that a lexical item, especially a verb, can combine with to make a syntactically well-formed sentence, often along with a description of the categories of those constituents.
5. The capacity of something to unite, react, or interact with something else.
an extropic state
of contemplating supersymmetric psychosocial symphonies of
human suffering, surmounting, senescence, and survival through
an incomprehensibly vast and escalating expansion of the extropian multiverse. speculative spelunking through assymetric archipelagos of mechapsychogenetic transhuman permutation, pain and poise, pretense and probity, prevarication and promise.-

Let Olympic Games Be Doped – NYTimes.com
This article delves deeper into the position I was alluding to in a recent Talk of the Nation Science Friday in Second Life. I don’t see my role in SL as some arrogant self-appointed magistrate of truth; rather, I’m experimenting … Continue reading →
Growing Neural Implants
It’s nice to get back to the core curriculum with today’s MIT Technology Review report that, “Scientists are developing new ways to coax electrodes to integrate with brain tissue.” Frankly, it’s annoying that our utterly broken NeoRepublican PseudoSocialist economic system … Continue reading →
Network for Open Scientific Innovation
Apparently, it’s Open Source and Open Science day today. This leads me to begin thinking about how we might apply similar principles to economics. The Network for Open Scientific Innovation is founded upon the belief, no, the unshakeable certainty, that … Continue reading →
Spore Secretly Spawned?
So, apparently rumor has it that the long anticipated Spore Creature Editor has been leaked through some back alley darknet developer distribution channels. Of course, clueful game marketers have long understood that such “leaking” can prime the pump for huge … Continue reading →
Google Health: Terms and Conditions
Introductory sardonics slightly updated on 6/9/08. :-) Yeah, so just gloss over the fine print below. Granted, technically and actually, the T&C’s are indeed prominently displayed on the Google Health sign-up page, in readily-ignorable undersized textarea boxes that might scroll … Continue reading →
Just Gimme the I/O Ports
If the inevitable human brain atlas project can just give us discrete access to the I/O ports, we can pretty much hack the gray goo sufficient to achieve scaffolding independence, which is a significant step toward substrate indpendence. From there, … Continue reading →
Venter Institute Scientists Create First Synthetic Bacterial Genome
This was a major advance in the field of synthetic genomics. We now know we can create a synthetic organism. It’s not a question of ‘if’, or ‘how’, but ‘when’, and in this regard, think weeks and months, not years.
