I read about the beta-launch of something called Chatroulette this morning on a German blog I frequent called Nerdcore and something tells me this thing is gonna be HUGE. As in huge, huge. Facebook huge.
First off, it’s super easy to use—hit the “start” button, and you’re off. The people you’ll meet are from all over the world and Chatroulette works in real time (like Skype) and there’s audio, too.
Connecting to the 99%. Plato called it, “divine madness.” Mozart described it as, “a rush.” Our moms called it, “a mother’s intuition.” Your Aunt Rose termed it her, “sixth sense.” Successful business people call it, “gut instinct.”
Think about how you describe connecting to a higher realm. Do you recognize it when a connection takes place in your life? Look for it today.
Engineers and scientists from NASA and GM worked together through a Space Act Agreement at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston to build a new humanoid robot capable of working side by side with people. Using leading edge control, sensor and vision technologies, future robots could assist astronauts during hazardous space missions and help GM build safer cars and plants.

The exhibition ‘Meet me at the Center of the Earth’ by Chicago-based artist Nick Cave recently opened at the Fowler Museum. The presentation consists of 35 of his soundsuits, which are sculptures made by multi-layered mixed-media and are named for the sounds they create when worn. Influenced by African and Caribbean rituals as well as haute couture, Cave’s work explores the ideas of transformation, myth and identity. The traveling exhibition is now open till May 30, 2010.
