Tech Trend: Shanzhai « bunnie’s blog
Shanzhai (山寨) comes from the Chinese words “mountain fortress”. The literal translation is a bit misleading. The English term “fortress” connotes a fortified structure or stronghold that is large, perhaps conjuring imagery of castle turrets and moats. On the other hand, the denotation simply states that it is simply a fortified place. This latter denotation is closer to the original meaning from Chinese; in fact, the fortress they are referring to is closer to a cave or guerrilla-style hideout.

The 53% Tumblr may be heartbreaking, but it’s definitely confusing
I had to work 70 hours a week though college, I have three shitty jobs, no insurance, pay for my chronic illnesses out of pocket, declared bankruptcy, lost my home, and moved back in with my Mother…

Cut/Copy/Paste: Remixing Words (Spring 2011) – Whiki
Writing 20, Duke University, Spring 2012
Instructor: whitney trettien
In 1959, a German computer scientist programmed a Zuse Z22 computer to cut up and recombine phrases from Franz Kafka’s novel The Castle. The string of words spit out by the program reads like a Mad Libs mash-up of Kafka’s original work. Who authored these computer-generated texts – the program, the programmer, or Kafka? Are they original poems, or merely derivative experiments? And can we consider the computer program itself a “text” in the same way as Kafka’s novel?

DEAR KATY PERRY
OK, now it’s clear you’re just some sort of robot, yelling letters at me. Thank you for making that clear. I know you’re not a real person. I know you were hatched in a lab and fine-tuned by focus groups to prey on vulnerable adolescent girls, lowering their self-esteem and preparing them for a lifetime of subjugation and consumption.
Dolphin Studies Could Reveal Secrets of Extraterrestrial Intelligence
if the Universe is full of intelligent, social, communicative but non-technological dolphins and the like, then there will be no radio beacons to transmit signals. The Universe could be full of life, of intelligence, and we would never know it.
