warning total random thoughts (hahaha):
amazing! i was watching "into the wormhole" with morgan freeman. it was an episode about the understanding claims of a sixth sense. i enjoy watching, or reading others researching into how nature does what it does, but i don't really care of the how or why--i just take enjoy the show. that's why i hate going to magic shows with folks who try to explain it. "shut up! we all know it's slight of hand, just enjoy the illusion", i tell them. anyways, computer scientists are trying to understand this "collective behavior" (as it has been coined iirc), as well as that of what bees employ in their hives, so that it can be applied to network communications. i'd love to see this spectacle in person. that and the aurora borealis.
