POPSWill The Real Barack Obama Please Stand Up? Without a TelePromTer staring him down, he's an inarticulate, bumbling mess. He lies continuously about his past and his present, including important details concerning his upbringing and personal associations. He shamelessly takes all sides of all issues, changing his public positions to suit what he thinks people want to hear -- far in excess of the boilerplate, mendacious blather put forth by most other politicians. Subjected to a rootless upbringing by a self-absorbed, radical leftist mother, and abandoned by a self-absorbed, hard-drinking philandering father, he sought refuge, meaning and personal grounding in drugs and in the hateful words and destructive ideologies of men like Jeremiah Wright, Michael Pfleger and William Ayers. What are the odds that the Times's Nicholas Kristof will release the tape recording of that Obama interview so that language experts can determine whether or not Obama's Arabic accent is indeed "first rate?"

POPSThe Next Renaissance The next renaissance (if there is one)—the phenomenon we're talking about or at least around here is not about the individual at all, but about the networked group. The possibility for collective action. The technologies we're using—the biases of these media—cede central authority to decentralized groups. Instead of moving power to the center, they tend to move power to the edges. Instead of creating value from the center—like a centrally issued currency—the network creates value from the periphery.

POPSJohn Edwards scandal too much even for a moonbat Here’s my favorite part of Edwards’ closing argument to the jury, the American people: “If you want to beat me up - feel free. You cannot beat me up more than I have already beaten up myself.” I would have reworked that passage to this end: “If you want to lie about me - feel free. You cannot lie about me any more than I have already lied myself.”

POPSNothing you do ever goes away... Google Street View still worries people, especially parents who have to see pictures of children playing in the yard. One member can see his kid playing at his parents' house and wonders "if a big NOINDEX NOCACHE sign in the front yard would work." (My guess: the Google Street View driver doesn't know what that would even mean.)

POPSNASA's "Green" Personal-Air Vehicle 400-mile Race Centennial Challenges are NASA prize contests to stimulate innovation and competition in solar system exploration and other ongoing NASA mission areas, the agency said. For example, the agency in the past year has held challenges for developing lunar landers and astronaut gloves. The 2008 General Aviation Technology Challenge, which is run by the Comparative Aircraft Flight Efficiency (CAFE) Foundation, will be held Aug. 4-10 at the Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa, Calif. The highlight of the event is on Aug. 9 when participants will race in the CAFE 400 - a 400 mile air race that will go a long way toward determining who gets the cash.

POPSHow the Personal Genome Project Could Unlock the Mysteries of Life ...You would very quickly begin to see meaningful and powerful correlations between particular genetic sequences and particular physical characteristics, from height and hair color to disease risk and personality. Church has done more than imagine such an undertaking; he has launched it: The Personal Genome Project, an effort to make those correlations on an unprecedented scale, began last year with 10 volunteers and will soon expand to 100,000 participants. It will generate a massive database of genomes, phenomes, and even some omes in between.

POPSWhat Do Your Genes Say About You? The Future of Personal Genomics The company 23andMe announced its DNA testing service last month in San Diego. You might think such a comprehensive analysis would costs thousands, but the process is actually relatively affordable. For less than $1,000 customers are able to learn virtually everything science currently knows about their biological code. For those wary of needles, you’ll be comforted to know that the DNA is retrieved conveniently and painlessly from a home mail-in saliva test kit.

POPSWhat Do Your Genes Say About You? The Future of Personal Genomics Less than $1000 to have your genes checked. A maybe if you can face bad results. Just hope they don't become part of your work/insurance/medical insurance details required. And the lack of ethics in business would leave one wondering about the results cited by some insurance test.

POPSThe individual we think of today was actually born in the Renaissance. some more quotations: Open Source Democracy—which I wrote about a decade ago—is not simply a way to get candidates elected to office. It is a collective reprogramming of the social software, a disengagement from the myths through which we abdicate responsibility, and a reclamation of our role as citizens who participate in the creation of the society in which we want to live. This is not personal democracy at all, but a collective and participatory democracy where we finally accept our roles as the fully literate and engaged adults who can make this happen. " i like it. One should be active in how he feels life should be.
