mashups part 2
Tracking back the links...
- jason buckley
- empty-handed
- comment says the Beasties themselves made a better mashup on Sounds of Science
- dr menlo
- orbitalworks
- Weird, boing boing is listed as a trackback, but I can't find the link on the site. Was it removed? Google's cache of boing boing starts at the 20th, so no luck there.

- metafilter got it
- In comments, someone points to the Mash Ave site and DJ BC's site.
mashups
Ok, I didn't care much for Dangermouse's Jay-Z mix, but I like this one...
[There used to be a link to the Beastles mix here, but it is gone now]
Which lead to some reading about the mashup on the Fleetwood Mash band. And the history of the mashup.
More mashup links here.

networks
Blogs are networks. This is the key:
"The real-time visual processing performed by insects, as described by Tom Daniel in his PopTech lecture this fall, is just one example of how efficiently biological systems can crunch data."
useful links
Provides a password for logging onto news sites that require a password to read them, like the New York Times or LA Times.
Reposts links from a bunch of blogs, sorted by popularity. A good way to get a list of what people are interested in during the day.

Mathematics
Apparently you can use mathematics to find patterns in just about anything, including relationships. I often wonder if I am a mathematician and I don't even know it. I often intuitively find patterns in items of entertainment... movies, television shows, books, computer games... I get bored very easily if one of those items fits the patterns I recognize. I haven't diagrammed it out but I can grasp it intuitively. I wonder when the culture will shift-- when a new algorithm will come around to replace the old ones and the things that keep us distracted in the world are replaced by something new and more complex...
How I got here:

Did you see the gorilla
You can only see four things...
"There have been some arguments that limits on visual memory are related to limits on the number of items we can attend to at once as well as to limits on the number of items we can count at a glance (typically both have capacity estimates of around three to four)," added Dr Simons.
