Fastest Computer

well shocker on shocker street...... Japan has the fastest computer. I traveled there during my freshman year of high school and I know for a fact their toilets are like fucking laptops... buttons on the side to do god knows what. Here's a little info on K

To be honest I found the radio broadcast kind of interesting even with the really annoying static sound. I listened to Burns and Allen and it kind of reminded my of old tv sitcoms in a way. Three's Company is my all time favorite old sitcom and this transmission reminded me alot of the Chrissy and Jack relationship on the show. Similar to Jack and Chrissy, George and Gracie are two characters that seem to be relatively in the same position. Gracie is like Chrissy in the sense that she can be visualized as the ditzy blonde that always gets into a situation my being innocently naive to the world. George is like Jack in the sense that he doesn't believe that Gracie could be so ditzy but always helps her out of any situations she gets into.

Singing in The Rain, Then and Now

Aside from the happy, upbeat nature of the 1952 song, Singing in The Rain was culturally the reflection of the world of art. People were not used to sound and now sound existed in the biggest form... musical. The premise of the initial idea of musical was to make people happy because of the global fear of communism and the fear of the rekindling of the issues that had been "resolved" at the conclusion of WWII. People needed happy, positive thoughts and Singing in the Rain was a sort of propaganda for that way of thinking. The plot seemed to reflect the idea that there was no mold for what a superstar was, everyone could be a Hollywood actress if they possessed the talent as well as the idea that humility and respect should be given to all.
Fast forward, nineteen years later and we have Stanley Kulbrick's A Clockwork Orange was a complete 180 of what the original Singing in the Rain was. The character who sung it was not the good guy and was no where close to being good whilst singing it. It was pretty bold of Kulbrick to have the famous piece in his movie but even more brave for him to utilize it while raping the woman in the film. Musically the song was out of context and outdated considering the 1970s were more of a progressive rock, pop era. The song made a point to me, I think the message was that in the light of everything new we tend to forget what the old things meant.

Mind Pictures

I really think this article was amazing. I enjoy art don't get me wrong but I also enjoy the trial and error of art. I really hate the fact I can sometimes visualize things in my mind but then when I want to execute them, there is a huge void in my vision versus what I actually produce. Art is a trial and error thing and sometimes mistakes make art that much more groundbreaking, sometimes a mistake makes you fall into a new realization. Its difficult to determine if visual art created by the brain is truely art at all due to these things.
I mean its a bit scary that we possess technology to read an individual's thoughts but I doubt we will ever get definitive results from the technology so we won't have a Minority Report type situation in the near future.
