6 neat experiments

Discover Magazine has their list of the 6 most important experiments in the world. Well, maybe not the most important, but very neat in any case.

one pot italian cooking

I just heard a great podcast by Don Genova about a book by Massimo Capra called One Pot Italian Cooking. Some awesome sounding recipes in there.

"The core of your being is permanent; things in the world are not. They are fleeting phenomena passing on the screen of the mind. Only consciousness is eternal and stationary." ~Ramana Maharshi

my cathedral is the forest

"Blessings:
It is the Teachings that survive the Teacher. It is the Teachings that survive the Rituals. Constructing a Cathedral to God is building for the Ego, the lower self. Constructing a Cathedral to share the Teachings, to Serve humans, to promote Peace, to end poverty, war, loneliness and despair, inequality....... this is the true monument to God. There are scant few of these...

There are no problems. There is nothing wrong. Everything is unfolding as it should. Everything happens in its own time. Space and time are illusions. They really do not exist. They're stationary. Causation doesn't exist either. No thing has a cause, therefore no thing has an effect. Cause and effects are again products of your own mind. When the mind is quiet, karma ceases. Samscaras are non-existent. There never was a cause for anything. But if you feel that in a previous life you did something wrong and now you are paying the price, or if you think that you did something wrong in this life and you're paying the price, then you'll pay the price, because that's what you think.

terrible noises for beautiful people: cobra edition

cobra

Wow. My mind has just been blown. I learned about John Zorn's Cobra today, it's a musical game which has a bunch of musicans and a prompter, there are various cards, hand signals and hats, and music is made.

An article at the BBC about Cobra, and a Cobra class.

An interesting plugin that adds some new Rake tasks to your Ruby on Rails project.

chronoscope

Chronoscope is a very interesting open source data display application for the web, built using GWT. I should look into this for Orchive, although I'm thinking of Sexy Charts for Rails as well.
