Quote of the Day
I would just like to point out that I be watching the fake news in the morning. And a lot of ya’ll do the same ish, plus at night. It’s bad for you. But anyway, I saw the segment with that 3 AM commercial girl… and she was saying that her brother pointed out that it was her in the commercial when they were all watching on TV one night. First of all, that chick looks exactly the damn same as she did when she was a child. I coulda pointed that out. I’m not mad or anything… just nuggets for thought, son.

"I felt kinda bad that my image was used for such fearmongering." -Casey Knowles (the 3 AM commercial girl/potential delegate)

Teaches you to be wary of stock footage.

Holy Hip Hop!

The life-size portraits of twelve icons of hip-hop culture capture the larger than life personas embodied by these men, who are among the wealthiest and most influential individuals of our time. Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Common, Kanye West, Reverend Run, Duke, Lil Jon, Don "Magic" Juan, Whoo Kid, Marc Ecko and Russell Simmons are portrayed by Melamid as they are in life a€s serious, ambitious, powerful and compelling. The twelve, dressed in their everyday clothes, are rendered with Old Master style and quality, providing a provocative visual context and an association with masterpieces of the past. In these paintings, Melamid explores art, power and commodity, as well as displaying the wit that has long elevated his work. mocadetroit

Are we computers?
The term wetware is used to describe the embodiment of the concepts of the physical construct known as the central nervous system (CNS) and the mental construct known as the human mind. It is a two-part abstraction drawn from the computer-related idea of hardware or software.
The first abstraction solely concerns the bioelectric and biochemical properties of the CNS, specifically the brain. If the impulses traveling the various neurons are analogized as software, then the physical neurons would be the hardware. The amalgamated interaction of the software and hardware is manifest through continuously changing physical connections, and chemical and electrical influences spreading across wide spectrums of supposedly unrelated areas. This interaction requires a new term that exceeds the definition of those individual terms.
The second abstraction is relegated to a higher conceptual level. If the human mind is analogized as software, then the first abstraction described above is the hardware. The process by which the mind and brain interact to produce the collection of experiences that we define as self-awareness is still seriously in question. Importantly, the intricate interaction between physical and mental realms is observable in many instances. The combination of these concepts are expressed in the term wetware. at
