Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation.

But they're no birdbrains. The system may lead to all kinds of nifty haptic interfaces" read the full article <a href="http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,67513,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_1">here</a><br /><br />I'm all for advancing technology. Long live the Internet and all that. But this is a bit much i think. Why on earth would i want to pet a chicken when i'm sitting in front of a computer. Even a dog, or a horse, ye gaads maybe even one of those few giant pandas that are floating around in china... but a chicken???!!! Does this have some humungusly kinky overtones or am i just getting too old ?<br /><br />Imagine for a minute the plight of the chicken that was used in this experiment,<br />1. You have to wear a silly looking jacket (and its not even in keeping with the current fashion trends in the coop)<br />2. You get felt up the whole day by complete strangers (talk about sexual harrasment at the work place), and whats worse you can't even attack them cos they are sitting miles, even continents away!!<br />3. You are on video the whole day ( whither privacy)<br />4. You don't even have a blog in which to file your rants against this gross injustice!<br />5. What is the point in being connected to the net if you can't download pics of hot chicks?<br /><br />Okey, so they haven't lost it entirely.. they plan to put this technology to use in other fields such as internet hugging where both the hugger and the huggee (sheesh, this is doing miracles for my vocabulary) wear the haptic suits and hug a pillow or a human doll, and the other person has those sensations transfered online. now to extend this thought imagine<br /><br />-You can now hug someone when you like their blog, or slap them when you hate it. Ditto for journos.. (question here, can the technology be extended to convert the hugger into a potential murder weapon?? i spot a biz opportunity hre)<br /><br />-Value adds to messengers and to matrimonial sites (can you imagine, 3 lakh Indians have opted to get married through 1 site.. or so the ad says... is the population control bureau listening???)<br /><br />any more ideas people?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12784635-111639783210699315?l=surviving-life.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Havokinthemindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17026332981369518642noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784635.post-1116308462443614982005-05-16T22:10:00.000-07:002005-05-16T22:41:02.446-07:00feeling bored enough this morning to take these tests on the net (long live broadband at work!)<br /><br /><div align="center"> <br /><img src="http://images.similarminds.com/leader/5.jpg" /><br /><a href="http://similarminds.com/othertests.html">What Famous Leader Are You?</a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://similarminds.com">personality tests by similarminds.com</a></span></div><br /><br />Hehehe.. not sure about this, but the only similarity i can see between myself and Einstein is in the hair-do. Not that mine goes flying all over the place in an unkempt manner, just that it shares this anti-gravity thing with Einstein's hair<br /><br />It is not one of those immediately noticeable things. But clearly evident in the way it grows back after a hair-cut. Rather than growing downwards- ie, with the intent of covering my neck, and on-to my shoulders. It seems to grow straigt, ie, at right angles to my nape, giving my head the look of a gradually inflating baloon.<br /><br />Up up and away!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12784635-111630846244361498?l=surviving-life.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Havokinthemindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17026332981369518642noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12784635.post-1115709617108611582005-05-10T00:15:00.000-07:002005-05-10T00:20:17.113-07:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This blog is a result of my growing blog-envy (where is Freud when you really need him?? ) Other bloggers like </span><a href="http://flotsam.rediffblogs.com/"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Ossy</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> and </span><a href="http://bonniebluebutler.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">SmugBug</span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> seem to be able to write so well, and so regularly, while I can barely come up with some three lines every few months.. Now all those of you who visit my <a href="http://anfractuosity.blogspot.com">other blog</a> know why i prefer writing poetry to prose!!
