This is where I collect things. Maybe you'd also be interested in reading a few things that I've written, or viewing some of my photos, or even some of my videos. If you're feeling especially voyeuristic, you might even want to look through my links, listening habits, and social connections.

MIT researchers have created a system of floor blocks that generate power when the blocks rub against one another as people walk over them. A crowd of 30,000 moving to and fro could create enough power to run a small electrical system or perhaps bring a subway train safely to a platform in the event of a blackout.

Krugman + sci-fi + THE FUTURE

From The New Yawkah:

“Krugman explained that he’d become an economist because of science fiction. When he was a boy, he’d read Isaac Asimov’s ‘Foundation’ trilogy and become obsessed with the central character, Hari Seldon. Seldon was a ‘psychohistorian’—a scientist with such a precise understanding of the mechanics of society that he could predict the course of events thousands of years into the future and save mankind from centuries of barbarism. He couldn’t predict individual behavior—that was too hard—but it didn’t matter, because history was determined not by individuals but by laws and hidden forces. ‘If you read other genres of fiction, you can learn about the way people are and the way society is,’ Krugman said to the audience, ‘but you don’t get very much thinking about why are things the way they are, or what might make them different. What would happen if?’”

I think I like this Paul Krugman guy.

the worst that can happen really isn’t that bad. the best that can happen is that your life will never be the same again. and no matter what, you’re going to learn a hell of a lot about yourself and what you’re actually capable of. and i think it’s a lot.

take a risk. make a leap. here, we can do it together.

Word.
