… Your ideas can be as wild as you like, but they must never conflict with the cannon of measurement-based theory collectively called "science". CLINE actively leans away from engineering and toward science. There is something about the immediacy of writing code and designing hardware that grabs hold of our brain, holds us down in the trees, and won't let us float up to where we might see the forest. As a result, there is less and less science in Computer Science. Lots of practice, very little th …

Did you know that the Bible is one of the most important project records of God, humanity and the universe? Did you know that the Bible is not mystical? It is not whimsical, it is not difficult to understand from a project m …

I decided to start the group, Anchored in Spirit, because I wanted to build a movement towards a more highly conscious world - a world in which we are ONE with ourselves, the animal kingdom and nature. As we approach 2012, it is imperative that ALL gain the necessary knowledge for the evolution into a new world. The group was formed to educate, inspire and empower individuals through the arts and sciences. Our goal is to help people to heal themselves by providing them with tools to align with t …

Zombies! Zombies! Cult, Culture, …

I was recently inspired by a New York Times article about informal science and technology lectures that are being held in bars and clubs in NYC. Here's my vision: to organize an informal lecture series at local (and supportive) bars/cafes on whatever topics interest intellectually minded folk (Astrophysics? Anthropology? Health and Wellness? You tell me!). The lecture becomes a place to learn, meet other people, have a drink and interesting conversation, or share what you know! At this point, I' …
