Kanye West went on another one of his rants during his closing set at the Wireless Festival in London on Friday night, July 4.
Wearing a studded mask, the rapper began a 15-minute speech in the middle of his set about consumerism, fame and discrimination in the fashion industry. With a black-and-white video of a waterfall playing behind him and a piano loop in the background, it looked like more of a church sermon than a Friday night at a music festival.
At first Yeezus was getting cheers of support from the crowd, but those soon turned into boos once he clearly wasn't returning to his music. These signature on-stage Kanye rants and audience boos are almost a tradition now.

Traces of forgotten events from the museum's past are sometimes uncovered in our everyday work of processing the museum's archives and facilitating research, leading us to fun rediscoveries. Last year, Library Director Mary Richardson came across a WTTW press release related to the exhibition Art by Telephone while she was consulting the archival materials for a different exhibition, the museum's 1970 Roy Lichtenstein retrospective.
Art by Telephone, a controversial exhibition at the time, included conceptual artworks by such artists as John Baldessari, James Lee Byars, Claes Oldenburg, Richard Serra, and Robert Smithson. Each of the 39 participating artists phoned in instructions to MCA staff members, who then created the works on behalf of the artists.
The press release describes a 30-minute special that aired on WTTW in March 1970, featuring the works from Art by Telephone and local students from Harlan and Von Steuben high schools in conversation with MCA staff members Jan van der Marck and David Katzive, respectively the museum's first director and first curator.
Thrilled by the possibility of seeing early MCA staff and local students interact with this exhibition, Mary and Michelle Puetz, the MCA's Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow, began an eager quest to locate a copy of the footage of the WTTW program. Unfortunately, neither the MCA's nor WTTW's archival collections contained copies of the film. After inconclusive WorldCat searches and correspondence with various film repositories such as the Museum of Broadcast Communications and the Chicago Film Archives, it seemed that footage of the program would never be found and that a piece of the MCA's history was lost forever.
Then, in June of this year, an unexpected package arrived at the MCA addressed from David Katzive. To everyone's surprise and delight, it contained a film reel and a digitized copy of the WTTW program. Library and Archives staff celebrated the serendipitous arrival by immediately watching the program, reveling in the intelligent and earnest dialogue between the students and the MCA staff as well as the fantastically hip fashions and hairdos of the 1970s.
Below are some of the highlights.

In the spring of 2013 I was busy researching MCA DNA: Chicago Conceptual Abstraction, 1986–1995, for the MCA's ongoing "DNA" series devoted to featuring iconic works from the collection, and Hudson—the performance artist and curator turned pioneering gallery owner—was very much on my mind. Hudson had been an essential part of Chicago's art community in the 1980s, opening his gallery, Feature, in 1984, after working in the nonprofit realm, most notably with the now-legendary Randolph Street Gallery.
The art world in the mid-1980s was a very different place: pre-internet and very recently post–"Neo-Expressionist" painting (read Julian Schnabel, Anselm Keifer, David Salle, etc.), which had trumpeted a "return to painting" after decades of conceptually based and minimalist work. There were few art fairs or biennials at which to see emerging work and even so, people just did not travel as much. For Chicago's art community, Feature gallery was a revelation. It was the place in town to see emerging national figures of the generation that came to be called, variously, "Neo-Geo" and "The Pictures Generation"—Jim Isermann, Jeff Koons, Mike Kelley, Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince, Jim Shaw, and Charles Ray, among others. Hudson also showcased many of the emerging conceptually informed Chicago artists who have gone on to national and international fame, including Tony Tasset and Kay Rosen.
Those lucky enough to make their way to Hudson's gallery space on Huron Street received quite an education. He was always present, ready to talk if you wished, but also willing to leave you alone to look. So it was quite a shock to learn, only a few months after Chicago Conceptual Abstraction had closed, that Hudson had died. He was only 63.
Hudson was also a donor to the MCA Collection. He never had deep resources, even after his gallery relocated to New York and he was insightful enough to represent such highly successful artists as Tom Friedman, whom he had met in Chicago. He once spoke of his modest lifestyle and how he ran Feature as his "move against stardom and a push for pluralism and multiplicity." His commitment to his ideals and the art he championed resulted in gifts to museums of significant early works by many of the artists he represented, works he could have sold for a tidy profit.
In 1997, the MCA was the recipient of 14 such works, including the now ironic Talent (1986) by David Robbins that features the "art stars" of the 1980s in their youth. That fall, an exhibition featuring Hudson's gifts was mounted with the provocative title, Fake Ecstasy with Me (suggested by Hudson). While the donation included such notable names as Robert Mapplethorpe and Raymond Pettibon, as Hudson explained in his correspondence about the gift, the art "was collected for display in a small apartment" and the works had been selected by him based on his "regard for the individual work, not for its integration into a collection or the artist's career."
This "regard" shines through in a number of the gifts. The Robert Mapplethorpe photograph, Sebastian and Nda (1981), is a charming portrait of two boys stage playing a smack across the face. Now a well-known image, the photo isn't what commonly comes to mind when thinking of Mapplethorpe, best known for his homoerotic and explicitly sexual work. But that would have been typical of Hudson's sensibilities: collect the best, but maybe not the most obvious "best" work.
Jim Isermann's "Neo-Geo" Flower Painting (1986) is another strong example of Hudson's collecting eye. While the work might initially come across as merely decorative, Isermann, a Los Angeles–based artist who trained at the prestigious California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) along with others who put their stamp on art of the waning years of the twentieth century, including Mike Kelley, David Salle, and Jim Shaw, slyly reinterpreted the aesthetics of the psychedelic 1960s "flower power" imagery onto enamel-on-wood paintings. One critic aptly described them as "remembrances of our overextended imaginations."
Mondo Cane (1985), another colorful and deceptive work, was the creation of General Idea, a pioneering Canadian art collective consisting of AA Bronson, Felix Partz, andJorge Zontal. First active in the 1960s, the group created installations, posters, and artists' books and magazines. A silkscreen version from a series of paintings featuring the neon bright outlines of poodles, the playfulness of the imagery belies the fact that the poodles are presented in various sexual positions and stand in for the three members of the collective, two of whom succumbed to AIDS–related illnesses in the 1990s. The title Mondo Cane (A dog's world) refers to a 1962 Italian documentary that consists of travelogue vignettes of cultural practices that would have been unknown or shocking to the European and American film audiences of its day. With dry humor and considerable grace, the members of General Idea brought attention to the fact that many in the 1980s and 1990s were shocked and disturbed by the idea of homosexuality, and found the AIDS crisis a problem of "the other" and not of the entire society.
These are just a few of the 14 works Hudson donated to the MCA Collection. He was a rarity in today's international art world, and is deeply missed. His legacy, however, will live on in the MCA's exhibition history and collection.
Bronze, marble, oil, and canvas: prior to the twentieth century, art-making materials were pretty predictable. But moving into the era of contemporary art, you begin to see artists working with an unusual range of materials, media, and technology—from sugar to blood; from works created for a very specific site to ephemeral performances; and integrating TVs and computers into artworks. This poses a challenge to conservators who have to determine how to preserve or even replace these nontraditional materials. They have to figure out how to maintain technology and equipment that is becoming obsolete. They also have to decide if it is appropriate to take any action at all or just let a work erode naturally.
Many contemporary artists intentionally chose nontraditional materials to communicate specific ideas and emotions, and some deliberately created works that were aesthetically less than pristine. While some artists intended their works to be temporary or unstable; others just never gave much thought to the longevity and stability of their materials. Because of the possible connections between meanings and materials, understanding the artist's intent can be crucial to the conservation process. To make these decisions, conservators and institutions gather as much information about a work and the artist's intentions as possible. This is where archives play an important role in the process, providing an excellent source of information about artworks and the artist's intent that in turn can affect the work's presentation and care.
Several months ago, the MCA's Library and Archives received an inquiry from the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) about an installation by Jesús Raphael Soto (1923–2005). Although the work is part of their permanent collection, the AIC contacted us because they suspected it may have been included in the MCA's 1971 Soto retrospective. They were planning to restore and install the piece and wanted to learn details about past installations of the work and flesh out the provenance.
We consulted the Soto exhibition records in our archive, but couldn't find anything about the piece referenced in the email—Raintree Forest. Based on a photograph of the work on the AIC's website, we could see that Raintree Forest resembled a number of other installations in the show titled Penetrables—a series of works composed of long filaments hung from the ceiling that visitors can walk through. In our exhibition archives we found a Pénétrable plan with technical specifications produced by Soto's studio as well as correspondence from Soto, various MCA employees, and the MCA's founding Board President Joseph R. Shapiro that discussed a new Pénétrable created specifically for the MCA's exhibition and the materials used. Shapiro happened to be the donor who gave Raintree Forest to the AIC and although we suspected that it was the work created for the MCA, we could not be certain. We sent the AIC scans of the exhibition checklist, correspondence, and the Pénétrable plan, along with scans of installation photographs provided by the MCA's Rights and Images staff.
I recently followed up with Nora Riccio, Collection Assistant in the Department of Contemporary Art at the AIC, to see how they utilized the MCA's archival materials in the reinstallation of the Pénétrable. The AIC worked with Atelier Soto throughout the restoration process and shared the MCA's archival documentation with them. Using the MCA checklist and the titles from the shipping crates, they were able to confirm that the piece created for the MCA's exhibition is indeed the piece in the AIC's collection and that the title on file was incorrect. Atelier Soto determined the official title of the work—Pénétrable de Chicago.
There were two main challenges to reinstalling Pénétrable de Chicago: the condition of the original materials and translating a site-specific work for a new environment. Because of these factors, the piece had to be completely refabricated. According to Riccio, "the original plastic filaments had degraded and were no longer usable. They were yellowed and sticky. We ordered new filaments through Atelier Soto who oversaw the manufacturing for the right color and clarity." Additionally, when Soto created the work, the MCA was located in a building with relatively low ceilings. Using the MCA's documentation of the original installation, Atelier Soto, "along with remaining Soto family members, determined the remaining details on design, fabrication, installation, etc., specifically for an AIC installation (and any future installations)." Because the AIC's ceilings are six feet higher than the MCA's original building, "we sent drawings and ideas back and forth until everyone was satisfied," Riccio explained. Not only did they need to be sure that the work would be accurately refabricated and reinstalled, but "safety requirements were a factor as it needed to hang from our inner concrete structure, not the ceiling tiles. We even had to make new ceiling tiles so that we could drill holes through them in the necessary locations. The overall length of the filaments, and the overall dimensions of the entire sculpture, exactly match the artist's original drawing—which, luckily, you had!"
This month, Pénétrable de Chicago will be on view for the first time in over 30 years at the Art Institute of Chicago. This successful restoration is an excellent example of how important archival documentation is to preserving and installing contemporary art. It is just one of several recent requests the MCA Library and Archives has received related to restoring and/or installing a work of contemporary art. As contemporary art ages and artists continue to work with irregular materials, we anticipate that these kinds of fascinating inquiries will only increase!
More and more, traditional notions of Christopher Columbus as "heroic explorer" are giving way to the historical facts of Christopher Columbus's voyage: As indigenous peoples had been living in the Americas for several millennia, crediting him with "discovering" the continent isn't quite accurate. Instead, Columbus's arrival brought with it slavery and colonialism; and as we understand thanks to contemporary historical research, Columbus himself was in fact an ambitious and quite ruthless individual. It is these historical facts that have prompted both Minneapolis and Seattle to celebrate "Indigenous People's Day" today instead.
These facts are also at the heart of the upcoming drama on MCA Stage, La Reunión—a work that imagines a final conversation between Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus where he explains his actions and pleads for absolution in the hours before the Queen's death. Produced by Chile's innovative Teatro en el Blanco, the historical personage of Christopher Columbus is explored, while the celebratory myth is left behind.
"I wanted to watch the music," Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker once remarked about her choreographic relationship to sound in a piece she created.
De Keersmaeker's company, Rosas, has often created austere works whose appearance of minimalist simplicity masks a more intricate engagement with the subtleties of musical composition. As Rosyln Sulcas wrote in the New York Times, "Ms. De Keersmaeker has always been intensely focused on the musical components of her pieces, often using a score's structure as a tool for choreography."
Rosas danst Rosas contains a particularly deep sense of musical awareness, since it emerged from an extensive collaboration with fellow Belgian composer and filmmaker Thierry De Mey.
De Mey's score is repetitive, full of bell-like and metallic tones that resemble the work of Steve Reich, another composer whose music De Keersmaeker has used. But it is full of melody as well. As the critic Cathérine Raes has written: "De Mey and De Keersmaeker create a tension between a cold, predetermined form and the physique of the (female) dancers who constantly repeat a number of figures."
In Rosas danst Rosas, in Raes's words:
The ensemble . . . in geometrically repeating patterns. In the foreground, a soloist repeats De Keersmaeker's minimal dance, which is based on the actions of straightening out a t-shirt, making fists or running hands quickly through the hair. These gestures from everyday life determine the rhythm and the choreography.
De Mey's composition, according to Raes, accentuates the tensions between casual and often sexualized female expression and a more rigorous, machine-like formalism:
These movements are complemented by De Mey's musical language, which is based on a simple, repeated rhythm of crotchets in unison, in which the original melodic shape of four pitches is used in different combinations and shifts within the bar. This basic process is in turn varied a number of times by changing the pitches.
Rosas does not merely move to the music in Rosas danst Rosas. (For that, see Beyoncé's rip-off in the music video for her song "Countdown," an appropriation that De Keersmaeker protested.)
Instead, music and movement align around De Keersmaeker's and De Mey's interest in what she calls "scoring" a dance and he thinks of as incorporating movement and visual awareness into his musical compositions.
Their collaboration on bringing dance and music together in Rosas danst Rosas took on a whole interplay when, in 1997, he filmed a performance of the piece in the empty RITO School in Leuven, Belgium. Now dance, music, and architecture converged to create a sensibility at once stripped down to bare essences and loaded with references to social conventions and assumptions. As Raes explains:
De Mey filmed Rosas danst Rosas in the empty RITO School in Leuven. This architectural monument with its austere geometric forms, built in 1936 by Henry van de Velde, was perfectly suited as a décor for the work. Architecture, dance and film are thus woven together into a sort of Gesamtkunstwerk.
One of the secret pleasures of producing an exhibition with artists in Chicago is being able to stop by their studio repeatedly as they develop new works. For Sarah and Joseph Belknap, an experimental process is at the heart of what they do, so you never quite know what you're going to see on a given day. It could be a silicone sculpture fresh out of the mold, a set of color tests, or prototypes testing out a new materials or production methods. The photographs here are from earlier in June, as the Belknaps were finishing some of the "moon skin" sculptures and planning out the large installation for their MCA exhibition, which opens October 11.
One of my most euphoric experiences in the arts was watching the way Belgian dance ensemble Rosas built a swirling energy at MCA Stage with Drumming in 1998. I love their unstoppable force—the way it makes you both think and feel as it builds and builds, lifting everyone. On October 9–12, Rosas's founder Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, one of contemporary dance's great choreographers, and her company return to the MCA with their iconic work, Rosas danst Rosas.
A few years ago, people in the dance world were alarmed when Beyoncé created her "Countdown" music video with dance sequences that mirror sections of Rosas danst Rosas. Rather than feed a controversy, De Keersmaeker's company created a special open source project, the Rosas Remix Project, which features choreography instructions for one of the most recognized and mesmerizing passages of her dance.
This open call allows anyone to create their own Rosas danst Rosas and share it on the Re: Rosas site or on social media. People from around the world have jumped in. Now you can too! We invite you to join MCA Stage and the dancers of MegLouise from the video above by participating in the Re:Rosas project. Here's how:
Step One: Learn the choreography.
Step Two: Add your creativity to the dance, a unique setting too perhaps, and record it.
Step Three: Post it online via Instagram, Twitter, Vine, or Facebook with the hashtag #ReRosas and mention the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago using the "@" function (Twitter, Instagram, Vine: @mcachicago). Be sure your privacy settings are set to public so everyone can see it!
We are excited to see your Re: Rosas submissions! On Oct 8, our favorite will win tickets to a Rosas danst Rosas performance, October 9–12, 2014, at MCA Stage.
"Wolfie E. Rawk is a visual artist who has shown their work throughout the United States."
Does the above sentence contain a typo?
Answer: Yes and no.
Most editors—myself included—love the certainty and structure of grammar. We nerd out about split infinitives and misplaced modifiers, and we have strong opinions about serial commas. We like to think that there's a perfect name for every object and a perfect way to describe every situation.
Most artists—on the other hand—are risk takers, rule breakers. They want to push boundaries and defy conventions, even the conventions of the English language.
Unsurprisingly, the MCA editorial team often struggles to use specific, rule-oriented language and grammar to describe many of the genre-defying, rule-breaking artists we work with. In April of 2014, for instance, the MCA invited Chicago-based artist Wolfie E. Rawk to speak at the museum. Rawk, whose work explores ideas of cuteness and monstrosity as they relate to transgender bodies and identities, has chosen to reject gendered pronouns. Instead, the artist prefers to be referred to as "they."
This preference is certainly justified. It is also, however, tricky to effectively honor without confusing readers or upsetting grammarians. While attempting to describe Rawk's body of work, we wondered whether we ought to explain why we were using the pronoun "they" to refer to a single artist, or whether we ought to assume that our readers would understand that Rawk preferred the pronoun "they" because it was not associated with a specific gender, or with the idea of gender at all.
We ran into another, similar issue while editing object labels for the David Bowie Is exhibition. David Bowie famously created personas that explored ideas of gender binary and androgyny through music and performance.
His Ziggy Stardust character, for example, seems to be an otherworldly being who is neither male nor female. And yet, each label that refers to Ziggy Stardust uses the pronoun "he."
This seemingly minor pronoun problem raised a series of major questions. How can we clearly and concisely describe a work of art created to defy description? How can we help others understand an artist's work when the artist does not want the work's creative power to be diminished with labels or descriptors?
There are no easy answers for these questions. And maybe that's for the best. Maybe, as writers and editors, it is our duty to continuously look for new ways to explain the unexplainable, to describe what defies description, to seek—without every hoping to really find—a perfect name for each object and a perfect way to describe every situation.
In this sense, art and language are not so dissimilar. Both are creative processes, and both are in a constant state of evolution. Noam Chomsky, the acclaimed linguist, once wrote that "language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied." The same is true of art.
The opening day of David Bowie Is took an unforgettable, unexpected, and slightly surreal turn at six o'clock when around 25 individuals dressed as David Bowie from various eras and as different Bowie personas arrived with one Freddie Mercury in tow. For about 10 minutes they performed a fully choreographed dance routine to David Bowie's "Life on Mars," "Fashion," and "Let's Dance," and closed with Queen and David Bowie's duet "Under Pressure." Above is a shortened and edited video of what some lucky visitors experienced.

Waiters don tuxes, men wear jackets, meats are carved tableside, and desserts are wheeled about on a trolley. The whole experience at Le Périgord reflects reverence for tradition, with a few contemporary touches: Sweetbread salad is served with harissa; escargots are dressed up with hazelnut butter and chanterelles. Not to be missed: the classic Grand Marnier soufflé, which is whisked to the table hot and puffy from the oven. Thank heaven for time warps.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Eugenides weaves together a kaleidoscopic narrative spanning 80 years of a stained family history, from a fateful incestuous union in a small town in early 1920s Asia Minor to Prohibition-era Detroit; from the early days of Ford Motors to the heated 1967 race riots; from the tony suburbs of Grosse Pointe and a confusing, aching adolescent love story to modern-day Berlin. Eugenides's command of the narrative is astonishing. He balances Cal/Callie's shifting voices convincingly, spinning this strange and often unsettling story with intelligence, insight, and generous amounts of humor:
Emotions, in my experience aren't covered by single words. I don't believe in "sadness," "joy," or "regret." I'd like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic traincar constructions like, say, "the happiness that attends disaster." Or: "the disappointment of sleeping with one's fantasy." ... I'd like to have a word for "the sadness inspired by failing restaurants" as well as for "the excitement of getting a room with a minibar." I've never had the right words to describe my life, and now that I've entered my story, I need them more than ever.
When you get to the end of this splendorous book, when you suddenly realize that after hundreds of pages you have only a few more left to turn over, you'll experience a quick pang of regret knowing that your time with Cal is coming to a close, and you may even resist finishing it--putting it aside for an hour or two, or maybe overnight--just so that this wondrous, magical novel might never end. --Brad Thomas Parsons

First Look: Emphasis on Fresh, Local Ingredients at L'Albero dei Gelati, Brooklyn
A look at Park Slope's newest gelateria and café, straight from Lombardy, Italy.
A look at Park Slope's newest gelateria and café, straight from Lombardy, Italy.
Unusual flavors like blue cheese, salmon and white pepper asparagus have grabbed a little media attention at this Park Slope ice cream shop. But most of the gelati, which are creamy with a light quality, and sorbets, about 16 in total, are less radical.
Brooklyn ice cream shop, bakery, specialty goods store, and general emporium of twee L'Albero dei Gelati makes pricey but delicious ice cream and sorbet. So it shouldn't come as too great a surprise that their vegan-friendly dairy-free gelato is some of the best New York has to offer.
Italian import L'Albero dei Gelati may best be known for its ice cream, but it's really a full-service cheese and sweets shop, and if you're getting some of their excellent gelato, an order of cake shouldn't come too far behind.
Do you want a chunky Ben & Jerry's-like scoop full of candy bars? How about pristine gelato? Or creamy frozen custard, so rich it can barely support its own weight? Whatever your ice cream vice, you can find it here.

Haven't had the chance to try it as a campaign yet, (I came up with it all yesterday over the course of 12 or so hours) but I hope to get a chance to use it sometime. I can see it working well as a one use location for a Shadowrun adventure, but short of starting a new campaign there's not many places this facility would fit in my current games. Anyone else that uses the prison in their game, please drop me a line of post back here and let me know how it went :)

And here I thought my underwater prison served as the inspiration behind yours. :P Glad you like it, prisons and water are a combination nearly as good as chocolate and peanut butter. :)
An interesting thirty that goes kinda well witht he 30 flies sub I saw earlier. I can't help but notice how the sub feels a little incomplete, with the life cycles of these maggots only half fulfilled. Seeing an expansion in the future with how some of these maggots (Such as #1 & #8) would functon as full fledged flies.

That bit aside it's a unique list, and useful for GM's dealing with a lot of necomantic sub plots int heir games, or simply wishign to spice up the bloated, fly encrusted corpses PC's tend to stumble across now and then.
This would fit well in one of their old school "tour guide" sourcebooks that Fasa used to kick out the door every few months back in the day.
Simple, colorful, and amusing with enough plausability to introduce into the game as an unlikely meeting point between Johnson and runners.
Unique and refreshing, something I can see useful in my next Shadowrun campaign. For a more oriental/chi based approach one coudl also have it impart a certain amount of feminime/masculine chi energy to the consumer as well depending on the gender, and mental disipline of the victim.
Perhaps inheriting (temporarily) a small amount of skill the entree possessed in life would add another layer of use and appeal to the grill as well, beyond simple attribute improvement? (Of course to glean skill one may need to consume the prepared body parts used in performing said skill, biceps/pecs for swordmanship or blacksmithing, fingers for lockpcking, the tongue for spell weaving, etc..)
An interiesting concept, although the opening tale does irk the evil gm side of me a bit. Granted the flame would not kill Sarya's bowmen now the number had been met, surely the flames would still have set fire to their equipment, and horribly disfigured them none the less?
(Granted they may not have been able to die from fire, but bieng burnt tortured shadows of their former selves for the rest of their lives, or dying from secondary infections to the burns/smoke inhaliation is how my evil GM side would make the end battle turn out, just to remind players that twisting fate does not always result in victory, merely a different kind of loss.)
Then again the truth behind the legend could well have become buried in the past and exaggerated into the current form; which is a way to hide the horrific truth.
Opening legend aside, I like the premise behind the festival, and can imagine a group of unwitting PC's stumbling into the town on festival day, enjoying the celebration only to find out later what the celebration is all about, and the hideous deaths those guilty of relatively minor crimes will be facing at the end of the festival. (Certain to spur some heroic action and tug on morals, especially those with a soft spot for good hearted rogues.)

Fun sub, and something I can see myself using next time I run a fantasy campaign.
Interesting, but difficult to really do anything with on its own. Compared to the Bucky Batteries that brimmed with possible applicaitons and uses in a sci fi game, this one feels a little open and shut.
A good GM can use this as the explaination behind sudden emergence of AI in an characters computer/ship/etc.. or it could work well as the spring board to an Ai related sub plot, but over all it's application feels somewhat limited in scope.
Well written though, it can be tough to deliver something in only 100 words that feels complete.
Go to Comment
Nasty and vile, certain to add more life to the slums and foul depths of the world. After running into a few of these varities most characters will pay careful attention the casual description of flies buzzing about the manure cart or decaying corpse.
Honestly I'm not a big fan of the old cartoon Transformers, mostly becuse the concept of shape shifting robts that mimic everyday vehicles never really stuck me as "fun" or engaging/realistic on a "mature intellectual level." (The movies were good however, but nothing like the old school cartoon.)
With that said, the way you lay this concept out makes it sound really fun, and makes me want to roll up a bot and give it a go, not something I was expecting when I began to read the sub!. 8)
I guess perhaps its the way the Artifical intelligence programming is laid out in the rules that make it sound more appealing, and gives some structure to the concept making ti less of a "make stuff up" feeling and grounds them a bit more firmly in pusedo science.
Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this, great work so far!
This one deserves the full sub treatment, there's too much potential to cover in a mere 100 words when it comes to something so complex.
Go to Comment
As a inspiration for a quick window dressing in a scifi setting it's good to go, but I would dearly love to see more of this, it's the start of something special.
A few alternate wide spread uses for them:
-Gravity plating on starships: A nice emergency back up to keep gravity functioning at .3-.6 G's or so during a catastrophic system failure. While far from earth normal being able to move about normally allows crews to better effect repairs then attempting to maneuver in zero gravity.
Atmospheric terraforming equipment Perfect to run the gargantuan terraforming installations on uninhabitable worlds, as these batteries take very little maintenance, and will operate the terrafomring equipment reliably for the 100+ years it takes to turn a plant habitable. (and keep it that way.)
Go to Comment
Escape pods: While not generally the primary power supply, a bucky battery can provide sufficent power to a cryo capsule and maintain it's functionality for immense time spans, perfect to allow ample time for the pod to be rescued, or travel as slower then light speeds to an inhabitable planet. (Something that could take decades if not centuries depending on the location it is launched from and end velocity.)
A nice short and simple sub with widespread implications and use in a scifi world. Creative characters/players can no doubt find plenty of way to use "bucky bats" to optomize their ship and/or equipment.
A intuitive Gm can find plenty of places they would come in handy to make spacefaring society run smoothly.
quoteThe biggest problem is: why would you ever use a bucky battery instead of solar panels? Space is full of free energy. Hell, starlight can even push your ship. /quote
Inthe vast gulf between stars, or in areas where the sun is nearly dead (brown dwarf style) solar energy may not prove sufficient compared to one of these batteries.
The other downside to Solar panels is they can prove somewhat fragile in an area with frequent asteroid showers, and would also be somewhat useless to power a terraforming tower if it is terraforming a world with an atmosphere too thick for sunlight to effectively penetrate.Go to Comment
Wow, very indepth and complete, I was expecting something shorter, but it just kept going, with mroe and more useful info to paint a complete picture of these parasites. (whcih is a good thing by the way.)
Very veristile and quite nasty, they make for a great take on "space zombie" and excellent example of non carbon based life forms that are truly alien in their outlook and goals.
The multiple evolutionary options are a nice touch, and they can be easily adapted to a fantasy setting with minimal effort.
Go to Comment
Excellent stuff, and sure to show up in my upcoming space campaign!
An Excellent character, quite memorable, and easily adapated to other modern day settings with minimal effort.

We stayed in this great house over Columbus Day weekend of 2013. The house is extremely clean and well kept. Perfect house for 2 couples traveling together as each couple has a bedroom and bathroom. We all enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement. Pictures are true to form. I would highly recommend this rental.

Are you Prepared?

As a medical volunteer in Katrina relief and a recent PANDA graduate (palo alto's CERT) I feel like even though I am prepared, I'm very concerned for my neighborhood. I don't think they're prepared, and PAN could help by encouraging the development of Block Captains, or at least encourage each neighbor know the emergency contact information and level of preparedness of their immediate next door and across-the-street neighbors.

Hi Enoch
Thanks for your note. The Palo Alto Neighborhoods (PAN) will shortly annouce 3 city wide trainings for block captains. We plan on a general meeting in Midtown on July 18th: Police CHief Johnson will give us an overview of crime and then Susie Jones of the Police Deaprtment will talk about building a neighborhood network of block captains. We are workig on dates/places for the 2 other sessions!

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 4 Premiere: Record Ratings!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
Yup, viewers still love those crazy Real Housewives of New Jersey.
Sunday night's season four premiere garnered three million viewers for Bravo, earning a spot as the most-viewed season premiere in network history.
The episode featured your basic fighting among cast members, highlighted by Teresa Giudice (above) saying sister-in-law Melissa Gorga would leave her husband if a richer man entered the picture.
Gorga didn't respond kindly to those comments.
An hour prior to this premiere, The Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion matched its counterpart, as 3.2 million people (who may need to re-evaluate their lives) tuned in to watch grown women stage scripted arguments.
Chris n Greg should admit it on the show, I support the Manzo family but most n foremost Caroline values honesty and being real, her brother received more support of his marriage then anything else and coming clean on this show would strengthen support for gay rights to be accepted and I would think caroline would want that for her son, rethink your stance please xoxo
Chris is defiantly gay. He needs to be honest!
I am VERY close to manzo family. Yes, we all know CHRIS is gay not Alvie and yes we all mow that Greggy is Chris manzo's lover. They have been together for a long time. Caroline did not want it in the show and wants to keep it secret. Any gay person will tell you that Chris is very gay. Eventually it will come out.
Chris is gay and his room mate is his partner. Everyone close to him knows and Caroline has sworn everyone to secret. She does not want this to be mocked on the show. Christopher manzo and Greg are partners.
OMG Erin, Are you nuts? Vess was just asking a question to the group. I thought the same thing watching Albie and Christopher with all of their gay friends. Why are you attacking Vess and what is with the CAPS you are throwing at her? You must be a friend of the Manzo clan. Chill out girl.
Jacqueline's daughter looks like a big drug addict. I can understand why Jacqueline is always so unhappy. With Jacqueline and her husband's company bankrupt and getting hit with a big law suit for using company funds to live their lavish lifestyle I can see why she's about to crack up. Maybe her little sicko daughter is her karma for all of the terrible things she has done to others - like stabbing Danielle in the back.
CHRIS MANZO IS NOT GAY. Gossip blogs have talked about girls he's dated in the past, he was on Millionaire Matchmaker and Patti set him up with girls, and again, if he were gay, why would he want to open a hetero strip club car wash? He would open up a gay club. Do you think he's gay just because his roomie is? So, does that mean Albie is gay too since he lives with them as well? Of course Chris is close with the guy...it's his roomie! Doesn't mean he's gay, lol. He's goofy, he's childish, but he is not gay and he's not getting married. Caroline's gay brother gets married. He was on the show Season 1 with Dina and he was on the show last season with Ashley(remember when she was telling him about her new tattoo of a Swallow bird)?
Erin, How do you know Caroline's son Chriss is not gay? I don't really care if he is/is not- it was just something I was wondering about. Chriss seems to be really close to that gay person he lives with and that person was featured a lot on the vacation episodes. So I thought they might be boyfriends. I don't remember any girlfriends featured on the show. Only Caroline's daughter was shown to be dating someone of the opposite sex.
Vess, Caroline's sons Albie and Chris are not gay(I mean really, why would Chris want to open a stipper car wash if he was gay?). I forget his name, but it's one of Caroline's BROTHERS that is gay and gets married. He's actually been on the show a few times.
The preview shows the trashy NJ Housewives traveling the SF for a gay wedding. Is Caroline's son Chriss going to come out of the closet on the show and wed that guy he lives with in Hoboken?

Warning of the potential dangers of citizen journalism while correcting misconceptions on the grand old days of the "family-owned" newspaper model, David Simon, creator of HBO's "The Wire" and a former reporter at the Baltimore Sun, testified Wednesday at a Senate hearing on the future of journalism.
"High-end journalism can and should bite any hand that tries to feed it, and it should bite a governing hand most viciously," Simon told senators.

The Children Streaming Across the U.S. Border Are Fleeing Violence and Poverty
The number of children caught trying to cross America's southern border has reached such alarming levels that President Barack Obama has described the area along the Mexican border as an "urgent humanitarian situation." On Monday, Obama directed federal agencies to coordinate their response to stem a crisis that has seen thousands of unaccompanied minors stream across the U.S. border with Mexico.
The number of children caught crossing the U.S. border has skyrocketed in recent years, according to data from U.S. Customs and Borders. The Unaccompanied Alien Children program expects to see 60,000 referrals in 2014, compared to 24,668 in 2013. The graphic below illustrates that striking increase. (Note that the graphic includes what in all likelihood is a typo: The far-left bar should be labeled 2003-2011.)
According to a map put together by the Department of Homeland security, the increase is driven by a witches' brew of poverty and violence in Central America. The map presents a breakdown of children arriving to the United States from Central America during the first half of the year. Those from Guatemala hail mostly from rural areas, while children from El Salvador and Honduras are mostly escaping frighteningly violent cities.
Click to see a larger version of the map.
Far and away the largest group, more than 2,400 children, traveled to the United States from San Pedro Sula, Honduras, a city best known for having the world's highest murder rate. The next most common points of origin are the Honduran cities of Tegucigalpa and Juticalpa, each of which saw more than 800 of their children caught migrating to the United States.
Prior to 2014, the vast majority of unaccompanied children picked up at the U.S. border came from Mexico. In the first half of 2014, however, the number of children from El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras increased so dramatically that Central America is now sending an equal number of children across the U.S. border.

MIAMI- Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says a Miami man caught and killed the longest Burmese python ever captured in Florida: 18 feet, 8 inches. The python was a 128-pound female that was not carrying eggs, according to University of Florida scientists who examined the snake. The previous record length for a Burmese python captured in the wild in Florida was 17 feet, 7 inches.
On May 11, Jason Leon was riding late at night in a rural area of southeast Miami-Dade County when he and his passenger spotted the python. About 3 feet of the snake was sticking out of the roadside brush. Leon stopped his car, grabbed the snake behind its head and started dragging it out of the brush. When the snake began to wrap itself around his leg, he called for assistance from others and then used a knife to kill the snake. Leon once owned Burmese pythons as pets and has experience handling this nonvenomous constrictor species.
The public is asked to report sightings of exotic species to IveGot1.org or 888-IveGot1. There is also a free smartphone app: IVEGOT1.
The Burmese python is an invasive species that has negative impacts on the Everglades ecosystem and its native wildlife. The FWC actively coordinates with local, state and federal partners, including university researchers, native tribes and nongovernmental organizations, on the research, management and capture of pythons.

A matter-of-fact Maggie Alphonsi says it will be irrelevant whether or not England Women are the less-fancied side for their World Cup semi-final against Ireland, and is adamant Gary Street's charges can deliver a more convincing showing than they managed in this weekend's 13-13 draw with Canada.
England qualified for the knockout stages after a tense encounter in Marcoussis. Stalled by some uncharacteristic mistakes and well-organised opponents, they were indebted to an eight-point haul from centre Emily Scarratt.
Even so, the 2010 runners-up have reached the last four and their tireless open side – who made 29 tackles and required eight stitches to a cut above the eye – admitted her teammates are desperate to do themselves justice next time out.
"We're pleased that we got a draw and went through, but we're also disappointed that we didn't win," she explained.
"We've looked at the game in analysis and seen that there were a lot of errors. They are things that we can definitely fix though, and going into the next game we're confident that we'll be able to turn things around and put in a better performance.
Photo: Getty Images
"It was a game we needed really and it's probably put us in a good place – we've identified things we need to improve on in the semi-final. We knew Canada would provide a big challenge and so it proved. It'll be more of the same against Ireland."
Alphonsi was part of the team that beat Ireland 17-10 at Twickenham in February, a match in which England were "taken to their limit".
Indeed, having overturned New Zealand last week, Ireland are arguably the tournament's form outfit. That said, 72-cap Alphonsi exuded a steely confidence ahead of what looks certain to be a titanic tussle at the 20,000-seater Stade Jean-Bouin.
"The key thing is getting our core skills right. If anything, we forced things a bit in the Canada game. At the weekend we were playing too much behind the gain-line and didn't get the front-foot ball we wanted. Now, we'll probably want to tighten it up and cut out the errors.
"Ireland's set piece is very strong. Their lineout is excellent and they have a good maul off the back of that, which is hard to stop. As well as the breakdown, that will be a key area that we need to counteract.
"We know them really well, so as much as we have our areas to work on, we know where to try and stop them as well.
"People will always have their ideas on who are underdogs and who are favourites. As an England team, we don't care about that. Our focus is always on the game itself. The priority for us is a performance."

21st Century Living
Exile In Guyland
A phase that once consisted of a few awkward years has evolved into a whole new developmental stage of its own: adultolescence.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.
Big Think's Edge learning platform for career mentorship and professional development provides engaging and actionable courses delivered by the people who are shaping our future.
