Ten brilliant complete movies online. I’ve only seen three of these in their entirety, but I’ve seen bits and pieces of several more.

The downside of the outboard brain. I know my memory isn’t what I think it ought to be. I’m wondering how much of that is due to having external aids (such as pen and paper), how much is due to the increased pace of modern life compared to prior generations, and how much is because of my tendency to inattentiveness. It’s an interesting thing to ponder, though. I remember a science fiction short story from twenty-or-so years ago, concerning the first people with direct brain-computer interfaces. The actual problem that was brought out in the story was that networking such people was limited by lightspeed, so getting too far from Earth would cause them to lose their “outboard” capabilities.

How to sync two or more Macs? I’m thinking of getting a Mac laptop to replace the laptop I killed a while back. This looks like something that may end up being useful to me.
