SMART BLOB: FlockSmart.com
"The idea for FlockSmart originally came to Rob Zazueta as he was reading Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution by Howard Rheingold. The idea of being able to instantly bring together a crowd of people for a common purpose intrigued him enough to begin designing a site that would facilitate the formation of such groups.
Unfortunately, the idea was temporarily backburned as Rob attended to other committments in his life (a wedding planned for November of that year, a full-time job, etc.). In June of 2003 he read about the inexplicable mobs forming through email lists in Manhattan. Despite a couple of minor glitches in the beginning, the mobs were hailed as a success and garnered much attention by media around the world. Rob felt that his home in the San Francisco Bay Area should not be left out and quickly slapped together a form on his personal web site to attract folks interested in mobbing in his area. The link was posted at the influential tech-culture blog bOINGbOING and Rheingold's own website supporting his book. Within a day, more than 50 people jumped on the list. As the link spread through various personal blogs, RSS feeds and major media outlets, the list continued to grow.
Seeing how enormous the amount of interest in the whole smart mob concept was, Rob went back to his original FlockSmart plan and built the site you see today. Almost immediately, emails began flooding his email box requesting that cities from around the globe be added to the list of potential flocking areas, creating a great deal of potential for mobbers everywhere."

SMART BLOB: Global Flashmob
"'There seem to be four phases to typical flash mobs. First, collect
email addresses of interested individuals. Next once a critical
number has been reached, send an email announcing the location of
where they can aquire the 'script' for the action. Third, distribute
the 'script' and do the action. Fourth, disperse. A low-tech solution
to the problem of having a static instruction is to alter steps two
and three slightly. Once the necessary number of email addresses has
been collected, the list should be randomly divided into a dozen or
so different lists. Each list should be sent a different instruction
indicating a different location to get the 'script'. Although this
requires several additional organizers it has some obvious benefits.
For example, if any of these locations are compromised (as indicated
by police or media presence) then the distribution of the 'script'
for that particular group can be immediately canceled without
disabling the entire mob. This also allows more interesting and
complex flash mobs. Imagine what you can do if you have ten different
groups of thirty people working on 10 different instructions. And the
best thing is that each group is unaware that they are only one of
many, which means that the result of the collective action of all the
groups could surprise even the actors." --Global Flash Mob

TAZ: Burning Man: Temporary City of 30,000
"About 30,000 revelers are expected to descend on a remote lakebed in the Nevada desert this week for the 17th annual geek-culture phenomenon known as Burning Man.
The event -- part fire ceremony, part party, part indescribable surreality -- began in 1986 when co-founders Larry Harvey and Jerry James constructed an improvised wooden figure in honor of summer solstice, then burned it on San Francisco's Baker Beach. The yearly happening grew over time, migrating to Black Rock City, Nevada, in 1990, where it will return from Aug. 25 through Sept. 1."
"Each year, a theme is chosen for the art and performance that take place throughout the playa. Past years included Time, Hell, The Body and Floating World; this year, Beyond Belief invites participants to explore human spiritual identity in the info-saturated world. --Wired News

GROUP MIND: Global Consciousness Project
" The mind's extended reach remains to be fully defined in scientific terms, but research on human consciousness suggests that we may have direct communication links with each other, and that our intentions can have effects in the world despite physical barriers and separations. We are compelled by good evidence to accept correlations that we cannot yet explain. It appears that consciousness may sometimes produce something that resembles, at least metaphorically, a nonlocal field of meaningful information.
The Global Consciousness Project (GCP) takes this possibility as a starting point for a speculation that such fields generated by individual consciousness would interact and combine, and ultimately have a global presence. Usually, because we are busy with individual lives, there is little to produce structure in the field, so it is random and not detectable. But occasionally there are global-scale events that bring great numbers of us to a common focus and an unusual coherence of thought and feeling. To study the effects of a possible global consciousness, we have created a world-spanning network of devices sensitive to coherence and resonance in the mental domain. Continuous streams of data are sent over the internet to be archived and correlated with events that may evoke a world-wide consciousness. Examples that appear to have done so include both peaceful gatherings and disasters: a few minutes around midnight on any New Years Eve, the first hour of NATO bombing in Yugoslavia, the Papal visit to Israel, a variety of global meditations, several major earthquakes, and September 11 2001"

GROUP MIND: mass psychic influence on random number generating
The Global Consciousness Project at Princeton University studies mass psychic influence on random number generating. The ability of subjects to influence random number generation with their thoughts has been repeatedly verified. For this study, Princeton placed 50 random number generators in cities around the world. The researchers wanted to see if global events or crises would lead to perturbations in the numbers, and statistical deviations from the mean. The greatest anomaly was recorded on September 11, 2001. The generated numbers deviated dramatically from the usual average, climaxing several hours after the terrorist events. But the most extraordinary aspect of the results was that the statistical deviation began more than an hour before the first plane hit the World Trade Center." -excert from article @21C Magazine
STARDUST MIST
Space agency sees stardust storms heading for Solar System...
"Until ten years ago, most astronomers did not believe stardust could enter our Solar System. Then ESA's Ulysses spaceprobe discovered minute stardust particles leaking through the Sun's magnetic shield, into the realm of Earth and the other planets. Now, the same spaceprobe has shown that a flood of dusty particles is heading our way. Since its launch in 1990, Ulysses has constantly monitored how much stardust enters the Solar System from the interstellar space around it. Using an on-board instrument called DUST, scientists have discovered that stardust can actually approach the Earth and other planets, but its flow is governed by the Sun's magnetic field, which behaves as a powerful gate-keeper bouncing most of it back. However, during solar maximum - a phase of intense activity inside the Sun that marks the end of each 11-year solar cycle - the magnetic field becomes disordered as its polarity reverses. As a result, the Sun's shielding power weakens and more stardust can sneak in." --Science Blog

What keeps us safe from the absurdity of the quantum world?
"YOU could be in two places at once, according to quantum mechanics. But although it 's theoretically possible, the apparent absurdity of extending this feature of the atomic world up to everyday scales has puzzled physicists for decades, since things like this just don 't happen to large objects such as cats and people. Now researchers have devised an experiment that could finally explain why." --New Scientist - The Weirdness Barrier

Second Brain in the Stomach
"Ever wonder why people get 'butterflies' in the stomach before going on stage ? Or why an impending job interview can cause an attack of intestinal cramps ? And why antidepressants targeted for the brain cause nausea or abdominal upset in millions of people who take such drugs ? "
"The reason for these common experiences, scientists say, is that the body has two brains - the familiar one encased in the skull and a lesser known but vitally important one found in the human gut Like Siamese twins, the two brains are interconnected ; when one gets upset, the other does, too."
"The gut's brain, known as the enteric nervous system, is located in sheaths of tissue lining the oesophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon. Considered a single entity, it is a network of neurons, neurotransmitters and proteins that zap messages between neurons, support cells like those found m the brain proper and a complex circuitry that enables it to act independently, learn, remember and, as the saying goes, produce gut feelings." --aikidoas.com

DEMOCRACY WILL BE MANIFEST: Bucky Fuller conceived of the internet 40+ years ago
"looking down on a community you see the houses individually in the middle of their respective land plots. Therefore, with a few high masts having a number of tiny massers, lassers, or reflectors, each beam aimed accurately at a specific house, the entire community could be directly `hooked up' by beams, instead of being broadcast to. The beaming makes for very sharp, clear, frequency-modulated signals.
In the beaming system, you have a reflector at the house that picks up the signal. It corresponds directly to the one on the mast and is aimed right back to the specific beaming cup on the mast from which it is receiving. This means that with beam casting you are able to send individual messages to each of those houses. There is a direct, fixed, wireless connection, an actual direct linkage to individuals; and it works in both directions. Therefore, the receiving individual can beam back, 'I don't like it.' He may and can say 'yes' or 'no.' This 'yes' or 'no' is the basis of a binary mathematical system, and immediately brings in the 'language' of the modern electronic computers. With two-way TV, constant referendum of democracy will be manifest, and democracy will become the most practical form of industrial and space-age government by all people, for all people.

Greenstar: a complete self contained, solar powered community center
"Greenstar provides a complete self-contained community center, with it's own source of solar power. It can be installed anywhere, and can provide important communications, ecommerce, educational and technical needs as well."
"Greenstar is designed for long-term reliability and durability, and requires a minimum of supervision and management. A two-person crew can run the system and provide all support. In a one-week intensive training course, people with modest literacy skills can be trained to maintain Greenstar themselves.
The photovoltaic solar array which comprises the entire roof surface is intended to face south (in the northern hemisphere) or north (in the southern hemisphere) in order to capture the most radiation from the sun. Its angle can be easily adjusted through the year to further optimize its efficiency.
Greenstar also includes high-band two-way telecommunications, with a two-way satellite connection provided by eSat. Where satellite is not available, it may be replaced by a spread-spectrum digital radio, or by conventioanl cellular connection. Most points on earth can be reached by satellite communications.
A vital function provided by Greenstar is clean water: this is the foundation of a healthy community. Solar power drives an ultra-violet water purifier. Where necessary, this unit may be replaced with a desalination unit, to produce safe water from the ocean or inland salt seas.
Greenstar can also serve as a community hub, a place for people to gather for education and community events. To this end, it includes a large surrounding floor surface and streetlamps, encouraging people to gather there after dark. On the outside at one end is a large rear-projection video screen, which allows showing of education video for adult health and job education. " --greenstar.org
