While The Secret of Grisly Manor wasn't exactly a smash hit, it was a huge cult favorite of those who enjoy Myst-style puzzle games. Now, Fire Maple Games (the developer behind Grisly Manor) is back with a new game. While the gameplay style is much the same as Grisly Manor, the setting is quite different - and quite beautiful:
A new beta update for Swype has begun rolling out and will hit tester's handsets over the next 72 hours. The big changes, if you couldn't tell by the title, are Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) support and the integration of Dragon GO! - unsurprising, since Swype was purchased by Nuance and Dragon Dictation support has been rolled in since December. Specifically, the update adds functionality to the "Dragon" key which allows users to dictate speech using the infamous engine, as well as launch the Dragon GO!
Last week, we found out that Apple was bringing a fresh suit against Samsung - specifically, seeking a preliminary injunction against the Galaxy Nexus over four patents. Now the official complaint document has been posted by the court, and it turns out the suit is aimed at a lot more than just the beloved GNex, and involves more than the four patents initially mentioned. In fact, Apple explicitly names seventeen Samsung devices and cites eight of its patents.
An update to the Facebook app just hit the Market, and looking at the changelog, you'd think it's a major update:
What's in this version:
- Navigate anywhere, fast: Get to your groups, apps, pages, and settings with a single press
- Search and you will discover: Look through friends, subscribers, apps, and pages
- See your friends tags on pictures and zoom: New photo viewing experience
- Faster notifications: Get alerted in real time with new push notifications
- Games & Apps: Play games and access your favorite apps on the go
- Access to mobile timeline (If you already have a timeline)
- Access to friend lists and subscriptions
Huge, right?
A little over a year ago, developer Doug Melton delighted us with Android emulators for three popular TI calculators - TI-83, TI-85, and TI-86. Nostalgic and surprisingly useful, they resonated with many of you, but, unfortunately, TI forced Doug to take them all down a short while after.
You see, Doug actually shipped them with the original ROMs included, which was great for one-click installations, but apparently not so great for intellectual property.
Generally speaking (and apparently like most Android owners), I love the idea of live wallpapers, but in practice, the cost (on the phone, not the wallet) is too high to stomach in return for a bit of show. For quite some time (probably about 6 months of my nearly 2 years with Android), though, I ran the absolutely awesome Mario Live Wallpaper. Until recently, that is - after roughly 3 months straight with it, I switched to a static wallpaper (specifically, this one) once more.
With over 700,000 Android devices being activated per day and 3.7 million activated over Christmas alone, it should be pretty old news by now that our favorite OS is taking over. And as with most fanboys, loyalty to the Android OS runs deep - many who purchase one Android product fall in love with it, and are likely to purchase more (and Google's syncing capabilities certainly don't hurt!)
So, how many Android devices have you owned?
Last week, a "report" by InFlexWeTrust showed a screencap of a popup that invited users to download a "featured" app - Instagram for Android.
With all the crapware pushing AirPush ads to your notification bar that we've seen last week (including the fake Pinterest, Temple Run, and - drumroll - Instagram) and all the clues regarding this so obviously fake Instagram app, one would have thought a bit of caution by the blogosphere would have been a good idea.

Sydney, Australia
A kimono sleeve dress made from a stretch knit – what could be simpler to sew or wear? I made a few changes to the pattern: the sleeves finish so low they are almost cut to the waistline which shows far too much side cleavage for my liking, so I increased the height of the side seam and sewed a new arm seam (see photo); I also drafted a facing for the neckline to avoid having any visible topstitching. For further construction details please see my blog: www.loweryourpresserfoot.blogspot.com

Portfolio: Norman Lomax
Adam Jacques
Adam Jacques is a features writer for The Independent on Sunday.
Sunday 22 July 2012
It was at a swimming pool in Weymouth that Norman Lomax first saw Sue Austin propelling herself through the water in an adapted wheelchair – and it was something of a eureka moment for him. "As a photographer," he explains, "the best stories are of ordinary people doing extraordinary things – that's what I saw here."
Austin is a disabled artist who is putting on a show as part of the Cultural Olympiad, an umbrella organisation for 25,000 artists creating 12,000 events around the Olympics. And it was her ambitious idea to capture a series of underwater performances on film that led her and Lomax to the diving mecca of Sharm-el-Sheikh, by the Red Sea.
The result is a series of seascapes in which shoals of fish swarm around sun-dappled coral – and the less-expected sight of Austin. Clothed in a summer frock, her arms are outstretched as she freewheels through the sea in her NHS wheelchair, which is fitted with thrusters and two large Perspex wings strapped beneath her feet for manoeuvring.
"Watching Sue fly around the reef was incredible," adds Lomax. "It looked like an extraordinary underwater ballet. It also broke down a deeply engrained perception that I had of disability that I think a lot of us share."

TBT: My sporty brothers
That's John on the left, Charles in the stroller, and Robert on the right. They played football in the front yard, basketball in the driveway, and baseball in the back yard. Often their tennis ball (baseball) ended in the pool of the neighbor kitty-corner behind us. One day the neighbor yelled "stop hitting your ball into my pool!" and threw the ball back into our yard and it broke my bedroom window! Ooooops! From then on we referred to him as Nolan Ryan.

Game 20: Another Dud
PHILADELPHIA – Down two goals with less than five minutes to play last night, Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards sent Jared Boll, Adam Cracknell and Alexander Wennberg over the boards in Wells Fargo Center.
That's two fourth-line grinders and a rookie who hasn't scored a goal in 19 games, much less had a scoring chance in weeks.
This was how Richards chose to send a message after the Blue Jackets faded badly in the final two periods and lost 4-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers.
"We didn't have enough guys who were engaged into the game," Richards said. "Wennberg and (Matt) Calvert and (Jack) Skille might have been our best line. Boller and Cracks, they were fine.
"Our guys who are supposed to be our top players weren't our top players."
Richards isn't quite ready ...

12:00 AM — Research published today by City University, London has found that up to twenty ten per cent of gay men in London have tried the clubbing drug crystal methamphetamine (crystal meth).

Sleep disruption can affect our health in many ways including increased stress, impaired mental acuity and weakening of the immune system. It is unfortunately often hard for people with poor sleep patterns to easily adjust potentially detrimental aspects of their life, such as work stress, to help remedy this situation.
Sleep has been so undervalued that being deprived of it has become a boast. However, when you factor in The Third Metric, this anti-sleep mentality suddenly seems ridiculously skewed. After all, what's the point of attaining all that solvency and influence if you're so tired you stumble through it all like a zombie?
Our bodies are cleverer than our minds. When we are truly tired, we will fall asleep. Sleeping is a natural action. You don't have to do anything to get to sleep. It is not humanly possible to stay awake forever. The one topic that mustn't be on one's list of worries is sleep itself. That is what can stop you from sleeping and make you ill, both physically and psychologically.
The brain needs to be a fraction of a degree cooler than the rest of the body to achieve optimal sleep. If you're too hot this can stop you getting to sleep and staying asleep. Here are a few weird and wonderful tips to help you create this ideal temperature differential....
We need to inform parents about their choices instead of scaring them into avoiding bedsharing.
Sleep is vital for so many reasons and not just for world class athletes. There must be good reason why we spend over a third of our lives doing it; when we sleep, and sleep well, the body undergoes a series of physiological and hormonal changes which enables it to repair, grow stronger, realign and rebalance from the exertions of our waking hours.
We can all learn from athletes, we can all benefit from managing stress and actually begin listening to our bodies and not live constantly in our heads, overruling the body's needs and demands.
These two incidents as far as we're concerned is good old fashioned sleep shaming. We know both of these women work damn hard, and we're pretty sure they're human and need to sleep, so let's have more of Delevingne's disco naps and not villify Meyer who clearly needs a good kip...
It seems anxiety has no friends. It definitely does not understand professional image or even social etiquette. My life was turned upside down in an instant. It gave me no choice but to ignore my good friends and my work which I was extremely passionate about. I was left with an empty buzzing of a turned on computer with no active user at home.
I hate days like this because I don't want to do this anymore and I dislike myself for not wanting to do this anymore. I miss my old life, not because it was more fulfilling, not by any stretch, merely because it wasn't this; it wasn't 'today'. I miss the life I took for granted whilst watching repeats of programmes I didn't even enjoy very much the first time I watched them.
Some believe that poor sleep can be combated by exercise or that more stimulants can help achieve a great workout even when you are tired. But, without quality recovery, the results of the workout are very limited. You might cope for a couple of nights but beyond that it will physically effect you.
Most people snore at some point during their life, but it can be an indicator of something much more serious. Obstructive sleep apnoea is a disorder in which the upper airway repeatedly closes during sleep causing people to wake up briefly in order to breathe. They may wake many times an hour which leads to tiredness and sleepiness during the day.
For some baffling reason, my upstairs neighbour seems to think it's okay to have a power shower after 11pm. Repeatedly. And after midnight. And usually 1am. And 1.15am. Then 1.20am. And 1.25am. And so on. Sometimes one after the other from 1am to 3am.
Evolutionary analysis combined with proteomics enables us to pick up proteins that are present in trypanosomes and are essential for their survival, but are not present in mammals. They can therefore be a powerful way of uncovering and elucidating potential parasite-specific drug targets.
With April Fools' Day doing its best to upset the news agenda this week - at times on Tuesday it was hard to work out what was true, and what was the work of some reporter's overactive imagination - sifting through the inside pages required a healthy dose of skepticism. Our hearts and bodies got a lot of column space this week, with health headlines dominated by the news that it's seven portions of fruit and veg we need a day, not the five we originally thought. Meanwhile, another report suggested it's actually friends we really need to keep healthy.
Ever since he was about two years old, he's had periods when he's awake for several hours in the middle of the night. Initial advice from a health visitor was that it must be his back teeth coming through, although it seemed to me like he just couldn't shut his brain down.

November 25, 1875 – Continental Oil brings Kerosene to the West
Convinced that he can profit by purchasing bulk kerosene in cheaper eastern markets, Isaac Blake forms the Continental Oil and Transportation Company. He will soon bring Ohio kerosene to Ogden, Utah, for distribution.
Continental purchases two railroad tank cars – the first to be used west of the Mississippi River – and begins shipping kerosene from a Cleveland refinery. The company quickly grows, expanding into Colorado in 1876 and California in 1877.
Standard Oil Company absorbs Continental Oil in 1885. Following the 1911 breakup of Standard, Continental Oil will reemerge and continues today as ConocoPhillips. Read more in ConocoPhillips Petroleum Museums.
November 27, 1940 – Gas by Edward Hopper exhibited in New York
Edward Hopper's painting Gas is exhibited by the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City in 1940.
Hopper began the painting a month earlier. "Ed is about to start a canvas – an effect of night on a gasoline station," noted his wife.
Critics praise Hopper's work and suggest that Gas with its commonplace Mobilgas sign anticipates America's Pop Art movement that comes a decade later.
The work – which includes the flying Pegasus logo of Mobilgas – is an amalgamation of gas stations around his home in Truro, Massachusetts. Fellow artist Charles Burchfield admired Hopper's simple title for the painting, noting that a less discerning artist would have titled it "Gas Station" or "Gas Station Attendant."
The Vacuum Oil Company trademarked the Pegasus logo in 1911 and by the 1930s was marketing Pegasus Motor Spirits an Mobiloil. Read about the Mobilgas iconic logo in Mobil's High Flying Trademark.
November 27, 1941 – "Oil Queen of California" dies
Mrs. Emma Summers, once known as the "Oil Queen of California" dies at the age of 83 in Los Angeles.
Forty years earlier, the San Francisco Call newspaper described Mrs. Summers as "A woman with a genius for affairs – it may sound paradoxical, but the fact exists. If Mrs. Emma A. Summers were less than a genius she could not, as she does today, control the Los Angeles oil markets."
Summers graduated from Boston's New England Conservatory of Music and moved to Los Angeles in 1893 to teach piano – but soon caught oil fever.
With her home not far from where Edward Doheny had discovered the Los Angeles City field just a year before, Summers invested $700 for half interest in a well just a few blocks from Doheny's.
Summers' first 14 oil wells came in as producers – and launched her dominance in the Los Angeles oil field. See Oil Queen of California.
November 28, 1892 – First Kansas Oil Well taps Mid-Continent Field
The Norman No. 1 well erupts in 1892 in eastern Kansas – the first major oil well west of the Mississippi River.
Just 832 feet deep, the well reveals the vast Mid-Continent producing region, which includes five states.
Immediately following the discovery, a sample of the oil is sent to the more experienced oilmen of Pennsylvania.
"It proved that Neodesha had the riches of oil and gas in their back yard, making the area the richest bed of prehistoric decay," explains Neodesha's oil museum.
The museums, built in a city park at the drilling site, includes a replica wooden cable-tool derrick – "a fitting recognition of Norman No. 1's importance as one of the most significant oil discoveries in U. S. and Kansas history," concludes the Kansas Historical Society. Read more in Kansas Well reveals Mid-Continent.
November 28, 1895 – America's First Automobile Race
"At 8:55 a.m. on November 28, 1895, six motor cars left Chicago's Jackson Park for a 54 mile race to Evanston, Illinois, and back through the snow," notes the Library of Congress.
Inventor J. Frank Duryea will receive $2,000 for winning America's first auto race. His No. 5 takes just over 10 hours at an average speed of about 7.3 miles per hour.
The Chicago Times-Herald, sponsor of the race, awards $500 to a racing enthusiast who names the horseless vehicles "motocycles."
The newspaper declares, "Persons who are inclined to decry the development of the horseless carriage will be forced to recognize it as an admitted mechanical achievement, highly adapted to some of the most urgent needs of our civilization." Also see Cantankerous Combustion – 1st U.S. Auto Show.

OLIMEX's PIC32-PINGUINO-OTG, OLIMEX is a Bulgarian company that has taken a lot of popular existing open-source projects (Arduino, Maple, Pinguino, Maximite, etc.) and vastly improved their respective designs. The PIC32-PINGUINO-OTG maintains the same pin and mounting hole positions as the Arduino Uno however uses a PIC32 Microcontoroller.
The PIC32-PINGUINO-OTG retains the familiar Arduino form-factor and pin-outs, and can accept/interface with shields meant for Arduino boards. The main difference is that the PIC32-PINGUINO-OTG uses 3.3V for everything instead of the Arduino's 5V (though some of the I/O pins are 5V tolerant). The PIC32-PINGUINO-OTG programs in Python and using the Pinguino IDE. If you are familiar with the Arduino, then you should have absolutely no trouble using the PIC32-PINGUINO-OTG.

Pens' Vokoun out of hospital, no timetable for return
Sep 25, 2013, 11:40 AM EST
On Wednesday, the Penguins announced that goalie Tomas Vokoun had been released from hospital after undergoing a procedure to dissolve a blood clot in his pelvis.
Vokoun, 37, underwent the procedure on Saturday after noticing swelling in his thigh following practice. The decision was made for an immediate operation, and it was later announced Vokoun would be out indefinitely.
This isn't the Czech netminder's first bout with blood clotting issues.
In April 2006 he was diagnosed with pelvic thrombophlebitis, a rare blood condition that creates a multitude of blood clots. That ailment forced him to miss the remainder of the regular season and all of the playoffs.
It's unclear if this current issue is related to the clotting problems of '06. Pens GM Ray Shero told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "it's just too early to say," noting further evaluation would be required.
With Vokoun out, the Pens added some goaltending depth earlier this week by signing journeyman Jeff Deslauriers to an AHL tryout deal.
- pitpenguinsrulez - Sep 25, 2013 at 12:48 PM
Theres no need to rush Voky back until he is okay and fully healed.

304: Adding a store credit to a customer's account in OpenCart
At times you may find it necessary to issue a store credit to your customers. OpenCart allows you to add store credit to a customer's account through the dashboard. Allowing store credit instead of a refund for items that have been returned is a good use for this feature. Adding a credit to a customer's account is accomplished through the OpenCart Dashboard.
- Log into the OpenCart Dashboard
- Go to Sales > Customer > Customer
- Select the customer you wish to add a credit for and click "Edit" in the right side column
- Go to the Transactions Tab
- Type in a description and the amount of the credit in the fields then select "Add Transaction"
Now, when the customer logs into the store front and makes a purchase, the credit will be applied to the total balance of the order. If the credit is greater than the actual order amount, the total will remain zero and the credit will reflect the new balance. If the credit amount is less than the new order, the total amount will reflect the credit applied towards the order, and the balance will need to be paid.
If you need further assistance please feel free to ask a question on our support center.

For all its quasi-documentary materialism, The Son is ultimately a Christian allegory of one man's inchoate desire to return good for evil. The movie requires a measure of faith, and like a job well done, it repays that trust.
A very nutty fruitcake, Spirited Away is characterized by wonderfully detailed animation, packed with incident and populated by all manner of comic creatures.
Adaptation's success in engaging the audience in the travails of creating a screenplay is extraordinary.
Keep your "Lara Croft" and your "Shrek": For me, the summer's reigning icons are Enid, Thora Birch's geek goddess in Ghost World, and her action-movie analogue.
Compare it to what passes for sophisticated filmmaking in this country and the movie becomes a living instrument of cinematic humanism: lovingly intent on observing, not judging; concerned with sympathy, not control; accepting the inevitable ambiguities, not denying them.
A supremely intelligent pastiche.
It's an astonishing Kidman who contributes the film's -- and maybe the year's -- most inspired turn.
The video stores are filled with examples of retro-noir and neo-noir, but Christopher Nolan's audacious timebender is something else. Call it meta-noir.
Grounded in Fessenden's handheld camera, stuttering montage rhythms, and time-lapse photography, the engagingly primitive animated special effects contribute to a mood that's sustained through the surprisingly somber conclusion.
This is one scary movie, not because we see ghosts or monsters, but because Kidman makes us feel her fear as our own.
As bittersweet a brief encounter as any in American movies since Richard Linklater's equally romantic "Before Sunrise."
Without deploying reductive backstory or simplistic psychology, this fearless movie -- easily the year's best debut feature -- illuminates Esther's pathology as an extreme response to the mind-body split.
An inspired homage to his father's work, and a bracing, bittersweet testament of filial love mixed with pain and compassion.

No matter what your opinion of McNamara, The Fog of War is a chastening experience.
A prototype of news-footage realism, the film makes shrewd use of handheld sloppiness, misjudged focus, overexposure, and you-are-there camera upset; the payoff is the scent of authentic panic.
Moormann's film transcends A&E hagiography, and Dowd's spry egoism and science-hipster joie de vivre provide piquant icing. Recalling trends, technical advances, artists, and landmark sessions (one where he suggests the rhythm for "Sunshine of Your Love"), Dowd conjures the excitement that helped coax so many iconic performances.

Wong is sensationally expressive and projects a modern, coolly appraising sexuality. Visually eloquent and often dazzling, the movie is no less terrific. Piccadilly is both evidence of silent cinema at its rudely aborted peak and Wong's frustrated potential to have been among its greatest stars.
Blind Shaft means to leave the viewer dazed, and it does.
There are big crowd scenes, intimate close-ups, and lots of bug's-eye point-of-view shots. Call me gullible: I believed every second of it.
A quietly impassioned, genuinely stirring indie rarity.

What's most stunning about Raging Bull is the tension between 19th-century melodrama and 20th-century psychodrama, the narrative form brought into being by the conjunction of Freudian theory and the mechanics of the movie camera.
It's a baroque and intermittently brilliant brain twister so convoluted that it inevitably deposits the viewer in an alternate universe.
Yamada shoots his movie with a grandfatherly expertise, never squeezing the drama for juice or distancing us too far from the characters -- it's a pleasure to see a movie that makes every shot count, narratively and emotively.
If Otar is, finally, a mite thin and predictably structured, that takes little away from the filmmaker and her cast, who work hard at fashioning the most outlandish special effect of all: believable human life.

This affecting eulogy underscores not only Demme's own tribute to Dominique but also the film's homage to radio. This is a motion picture that's in love with the magic of airborne speech.
Oasis is utterly beguiling because Lee, like many other percipient Asian filmmakers, is simply more attentive to his characters' emotional tumult than the audience's.
As with Téchiné's best work, Strayed is a peculiar, lingering blend of robustness and delicacy--a movie with hardly a single wasted frame, incongruous word, or false gesture.
Bergman locates a generosity and élan that make F&A feel like his youngest film.
Charles Bukowski, the bard of post-war L.A.'s working-class underbelly, was no ordinary cult writer, and John Dullaghan's thorough, compelling doc Bukowski: Born Into This does a credible job of showing why.

Google StreetView Sees Expansion In Europe, With Automation Of 3D
CNet speculates about expanded Google StreetView coverage in Europe and the coming automation of 3D mapping for Google Earth and, perhaps, the desktop. Google's StreetView project is definitely global and there have been sightings of the camera-equipped vehicles throughout Europe. It's thus only a matter of time before the major European capitals are added (which is great for US-based travel to Europe; too bad the exchange rates are so unfavorable).
Microsoft automated its 3D rendering a couple of years ago with the acquisition of Vexcel and more recently acquired 3D modeling software company Caligari. And with those acquisitions, Microsoft has been able to jump ahead in 3D coverage of major cities.
Google had been substantially relying, until recently, on the community of Google Earth users to do 3D modeling. However, early last year it appears the company embarked on an automated 3D modeling program to accelerate coverage.

Larsen still needs to go back to the AHL to eat some cheeseburgers. His defensive play, while showing the right instincts, needs a little refinement that will come with ice time in all situations. They are not clearly confident playing him in all situations at the NHL level yet. He's getting no PK time and is being hidden from top forwards more than they hide Niskanen. That's absolutely proper for this stage of his career.
On offense, I love his willingness to shoot, but he has Stephane Robidas-syndrome - 3 of every 4 attempts get blocked because he's still telegraphing when he's going to shoot off a pass and when he's looking to pass.
I look forward to him being a full-time NHLer next season when he's put on about 15 pounds and learned a little more.
Oh, and BTW, piqued, on the play you mention at the top of my page, Robidas was pointing out the guy coming down the slot that needed to be covered by a closing backchecker. He wanted to make sure whoever the backchecker was (and I don't know if it was his partner or a forward) didn't try to double-cover the guy he had at the net, which has been a problem for this team this season.

Creating the Sand Beasts
Theo Jansen is a Dutch physicist turned sculptor who has spent much of his career fascinated with the role of evolution in natural life. Powered by the wind, his sculptures resemble massive dinosaur skeletons (he calls them "Sand Beasts") that seem to move autonomously.
Jansen refines each generation of Sand Beast in a process that emulates natural selection. He throws away the parts that don't work and amplifies features that do. His long-term goal is to create creatures that can live indefinitely on their own, roaming the coast without human intervention. You really need to see them to appreciate how amazing they are:

I am immediately reminded of the artwork on a paperback edition of Ray Bradbury's THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES. On that cover were the robot machines which cleaned the house and were still active after the nuclear war had wiped out the humans. The artwork made them seem like these giant behemoth ships traversing the desert, when, upon a closer look, one could see that they were the mouse-sized cleaners: small, but so intricate. Amazing creations Theo Jansen has made. Creepy, but fascinating!
An interesting lecture given by him at the TED conference can be found here:
Most fascinating is his speech and his use of "animals" to describe these mechanical inventions. One finds it difficult to think of these tubes as animals, but by the end we sort of are convinced that they might/could be.
I saw one of these up close at "The Believers" exhibit at Mass MoCA this summer and was totally blown away. Equally thought provoking were the works of Yoshua Ok??n and Fritz Haeg, and Sister Mary Corita also on display. You can find out more about the exhibit, and the extraordinary museum here: http://www.massmoca.org/event_details.php?id=6
There is something mesmerinzing about the video images of the sand beasts - I have looked at it over and over again ! Jansen's comments about his work are both excrutiatingly tender and also so arrogant. Altogether intriguing.
His creatures move like those created on the website sodaplay.com. Check it out - you might be able to design your own "sand beast".
Interesting...work inspired by evolution, however, more reminiscent of intelligent design by a "creator"...hmm.
Excellent engineering.
This is truly creative and inspiring. As a poor grad student in the engineering field it is always gives me motivation to do amazing things when I see ingenuity such as this. A enormous BRAVO and thank you Theo Jansen for the inspiration. It is more appreciated than you will ever know.
While fascinating and downright brilliant, his art is hardly emulating natural selection. In his individual acts of designing and improving his creations, he is acting as a specific designer, which is not part of the theory of natural selection.
There is some one from ancient egypt who also another from Greece(?) who was able to create 'robotic' devices.. does Jansen know about these. Creating is all about borrowing...
Some people might be confused about evolution. Most engineering and design actually emulates the process of evolution. Over the process of bringing a new device to function the engineer is constantly making changes. New ideas are tried. If they don't work, they are rejected. If they do work, they make it into the next generation of the device. If the engineer is very good and experienced the process is shorter, but I would think it is extremely rare for any product to go from the drawing board to working model with no changes.
Evolution, by definition, involves random changes. engineering never, or should never, involve random changes. even "trial and error" design selection is not random, and thus does not fit the definition of Evolution. any sense of design or purpose or goal is inconsistent with Evolution. many people think of Evolution as changes that try to meet a need for an organism, but it is pure chance whether random changes meet a need. a species without sight will not inevitably develop sight thanks to Evolution. Evolution may not enhance the species's other senses either. it may die out instead. there is no purpose, per se, behind Evolution, just random changes that once in a while enhance survival statistics.
as for these structures, i like them but they seem less "Evolutionary organisms" and more "intricate tumbleweed." jut my opinion
Fascinating Art. Whenever one watches a nature program where evolution is spoken of, there are always phrases like, '...and Zinjanthropus learned that he had to stand erect......etc.' As if a species designs, augments his own physical characteristics for the benefit of coming generations. These types of narratives are provoked by the inescapable intuitive need for an engineer. Somewhere in the debate surrounding evolution we must find a difference between environmental adaptation and the alteration of an entire organism, which seems counter-intuitive. A blind crayfish deep in the heart of a subterranean water way, might be attributed to atrophy of the once needed eye. However, to believe the eye evolved by trial and error through millions of years, is a stretch of faith.
As a choreographer and aerial dance artist these amazing creatures stir my desire to move with them - to be able to dance and explore the enormous array of possibilities and the multiple variations within the environment would be incredible. Theo Jansen is a most inspiring and sensitive creative genius! Mahalo
very similar to the constructor on Sodaplay.com
I am seeing a lot of DNA of Lebbeus Woods in these. I mean this in a good way.
I was struck by my momentary sadness for the sand beasts that they are not capable of evolving themselves through a multitude of both concurrent and sequential variations, however random or intentional, as they lack the ability to naturally reproduce.
Even if Mr. Jansen succeeds in his goal for them to be able to roam or "live" without human intervention, they will also inevitably break down or "die" without their creator or his successors.
The sand beasts' creator's intent seems to be that the main purpose of their lives, aside from provoking humans to reflect on what it means to live, is chiefly independent movement and beauty, making them essentially roaming, earthbound mobiles. And even though Mr. Jansen has created them for his own purposes, they may yet serve other functions or have other benefits or drawbacks he did not intend or foresee. But the sand beasts do not have any ability to select purposes for themselves.
And they are not self-propelled. While the sand beasts resemble self-directed organisms, they are merely driven by wind currents. (Humans have the ability to choose to try to rise above this standard.)
It is very interesting and thought-provoking to see something that so convincingly mimics life. Thinking about these sand beasts reinforces my belief that it's our life's purpose to make our own purposes in life. Thanks, NPR!
Success is sweet when a goal is accomplished, and a dream realized. He invented. He is a creator, thus contradicting his theory of evolution. It has always been a process for a human being to improve, but as being we have always looked the same. Our looks have not evolutionized from thousands of years ago. Let go, and believe in the divine.
Imagine a sculpture garden where the viewers stand still and the sculptures are the ones walking around.
where can i see these in action?
he is the new albert einstein
It's neat. His attempt to mimic nature and/or divinity is something humankind has attempted to understand. He is toying with the cocepts of evolution and creation himself. There is no intention for a literal translation of natural selection, rather a provocation of life or a desire for life.
I am not so sure that Theo is creating anything other than an advocacy for more Co2 from all the plastic he is using. Ah the irony in wanting your plastic beast to "live"! I'm curious as to why he isn't working with scientists to develop an alternative energy source.
Realmente din??mico!!??En donde se est??n exhibiendo?
Theo obviously knows his creations are not literally "alive" -- he is being poetic in his descriptions of how he perceives his sand beasts, and I think he is also using some poetic license to describe his creative process as "evolution." I think it is refreshing, and uncharacteristic, for someone of such a scientific background to express such poetic notions about engineered objects.
All the comments in this thread about evolution are very interesting; the Creator uses many avenues to mold creation -- evolution/natural selection is just one. Remember, the Creator also created the laws of nature. He may have rested on the seventh day, but he is by no means finished; volcanoes are still forming new lands, species continue to adapt -- we are in the middle of watching creation unfold, and it is arrogant to try to define or restrict the meanings or methods of creation.
Could he give his creations a purpose? I'm not saying 'cool, but what good are they?', but if he wants them to be able to exist independently, then maybe he needs to try and devise a purpose for them, and in finding a purpose, and developing them to being able to carry out that purpose, he will find the way to allow them to live without man, without someone else's purpose. Isn't it a sin to allow a living thing to exist without purpose?
oh my gosh ! never seen something as beautiful as that! thanks for the environment mr Theo and hope that your creation will take the place that diserves !
They seem so living
