“ there is a dangerous misunderstanding about "freedom of religion", as it leads some people believe that they have special "freedoms", because they are religious.this is religious privilege and fundamentally what freedom of religion is opposed to.the reason why you are propably allowed to build a religious building or celebrate a religios holiday, is merely that you are allowed to build and celebrate anything you like, as long as it doesn't harm anyones freedom.you have the same right to religion as you have to a fancy dress: if you can achieve to have it without harming anyone, then you may go and get it.you right to "follow" religious literature is the same as to "follow" the story of "Frankenstein", a telephone book, or the or the operation manual of a sex toy.”

“copyright means that you can stop people from saying something if you said it before. copyright is a case of censorship by it's very definition, and censorship is a crime. many crimes have beneficiaries, and some of the beneficiaries may even be artists or scientists.and yes, we should value art and science much more than we do currently. but we may do this by giving them inspiraton, supporting them financially and mentally and by sharing their works. it does not give anyone the right to beat, rob and jail people to silence.end copyright.”

brmpaw and binary cyborg clocks
(sent to the @brmlab mailinglist)
hey everyone :)
as i just checked your wiki and i was especially attracted by your neurohacking section. i love it, keep on this awesome stuff. but that just btw…
on your page about brmpaw there are plans mentioned to integrate a clock into it.
and i have a soft spot for clocks as they are a part of my efforts to reinvent civilization.
to be more precise i'm a lover and advocate of binary/hexadecimal time, dividing the day in 2^16 pieces ("hexsecs"), which are a little longer than an 'ordinary' (1/24/60/60) second.
your clock plans brought me the idea to just send the 16 bit of daytime information every hexsec as haptic or electric impulses to the users nerves, which is about 12,136296296 impulses per second. or non-impulses in case the bit is zero.
i also think about the perception of geocoordinates and compass direction in a similar fashion.
i wonder if such complex signals would be too distracting or how beneficial it would be that no memorization of previous time-states is required to percieve the daytime at any given moment. and most important weither binary signals with such a fequency are percievable effortlessly.
anyway i'm greatly interested in any sensory/cyborg experiments you do, and i would love to learn more. (i'm not so much into electronics and µCs tho…)
greetings from saxony / germany / the internet,
sofias.

hexadecaphonic (16-edo) keyboard design.
the hexadecaphonic scale defines 16 tones in one octave (one doubling of frequency).
you can read the clover leaves as binary numbers.
colors: black = 0, white = 1
places:
1 3
2 4
one step left is 1/4 octave (3 traditional 'semi'tones) higher.
one step up is 1/16 octave (3/4 traditional 'semi'tones) higher.

graph of a tesseract
building this was relatively easy, you just need equal stripes of black paper (i chose edge ratio 1:16 for obvious reasons) then glue them together to squares, and then assemble the whole thing and fixate it with glue. you might cut off some of the outer corners a bit to get a smoother look.
white headed pushpins are used to attach it to the wall.
(also: an orange blow-up cat and some spiderwebs ;) )

polca 0.8
a new version of our web-powered polish notation calculator is now released.
new features:
- english user interface and extended help documents
- ability to write lamdas and to use them defining custom procedures and conditionals
- a powerful set of operators (trigonometry, arbitrary base logarithms, gamma function, ratios, multi-value logic, …)
- and a lot of internal cleanups and bugfixes
many more awesome things planned.

icon: public domain
ein symbol für alles was gezielt keinerlei urhebermonopole erhalten soll |
für dinge die durch das gesetz gemeinfrei geworden sind kann es ebenfalls verwendet werden |
es soll vor allem en zeichen sein das hemmungen nimmt, und dem benutzer zeigt das er sich keine sorgen über wie auch immer geartete lizenen machen muss
es ist gut wiedererkennbar, bis zu einer größe von 8*8 pixeln |
seine einfach konstruierte form würde monopolansprüche aufgrund der geringen schöpfungshöhe vermutlich eh nicht gültig machen
die gewisse ähnlichkeit zum taiji ist gewollt und drückt die rechtliche gleichheit von 'sender' und 'empfänger' am geschaffenen objekt aus |
man kann sich es auch als hände die sich was überreichen, lese/schreibköpfe für ein magnetband oder sonstwas vorstellen ^^
klarerweise sieht auch das symbol selbst unter public domain und veränderungen sind willkommen |
es solte im interesse des weiterverwenders liegen, die erkennbarkeit zu gewährleisten und das symbol nur dort zu platztieren wo eine bedingungslose nutzung gewünscht wird
