    "In this remarkable and fully rockin' video, an Italian singer performs a rock piece whose lyrics are gibberish intended to sound like English. Entitled "What English Sounds Like to Foreigners," the video is meant to illustrate which English phonemes and syllables carry into the foreign ear, but I tell you what, it sounded like English to me, too, though like English as sung in such a way as to make it hard to decipher. What English Sounds Like to Foreigners (via Making Light) Update Thanks to commenter LukeWhite for this intelligence: "It's actually titled Prisencolinensinainciusol, written by Adriano Celentano wrote it in 1972.""

  • As it should, Crawler Town has its own little backstory: Crawler town roams the barren wastes of a post steam-punk world after cataclysmic climate change do to excessive coal use. Several such cities exist but Crawler town is the most popular due to the Aero 500 hydrogen fuel cell Air races that are held. Many people travel the wastes to Crawler town for vacation and to enjoy rare luxuries like Pizza, fresh vegetables and Beer. Travelling the wastes in search of minerals and aquifers ( vital for survival) the mobility of the city keeps it away from the vicious sand storms of the wastes Hell, living in a wasteland doesn't sound so bad! Check out more in the gallery below.

    Dave DeGobbi's mind-blowing Crawler Town should have its own movie written around it. If there are any fans of Borderlands out there, it's heavily reminiscent of Baron Flynt's massive rig-turned-city, the Thor.

    "Loud, persistent ringing in the ears, known as tinnitus, can be vexing for its millions of sufferers. This perceived noise can be symptomatic of many different ills-from earwax to aging-but the most common cause is from noise-induced hearing loss, such as extended exposure to construction or loud music, and treating many of its underlying neural causes has proven difficult. But many people with tinnitus might soon be able to find refuge in the very indulgence that often started the ringing in the first place: music. "

    Thanks for this post, fish man, (wow! I'm really liking diigo!!); as I experience tinnitus, and, I've only had it for a year or so, music DOES help, because, like so many other audio phenomenon, it distracts the mind from 'listening' to the tinnitus sound (frequency, in my case) and, thus, I don't really hear it, if I'm not paying attention to it - a wonderful ailment, really, because, if you don't pay attention to it, you really don't have it!!

    (agreed!!!) and I too have been dealing with the incessant ringing just quite recently. (I think it's because of my cold) but it is worrysome, as there does not seem to be any real cure. perhaps it has something to do with playing a brass instrument too loudly?

Evri Ties the Knot with Twine - Twine CEO Comments and Analysis « Nova Spivac... - 0 views

  • Evri Ties the Knot with Twine — Twine CEO Comments and Analysis March 11th, 2010  Share Today I am pleased to announce that my company, Radar Networks, and its flagship product, Twine, have been acquired by Evri. TechCrunch broke the story here. This acquisition consolidates the two leading providers of semantic discovery and search. It is also the culmination of my long and challenging venture to pioneer the adoption of the consumer Semantic Web.
  • The Twine team is joining Evri to continue our work there. Twine.com’s data and users are safe and sound and will be transitioned into the Evri.com service over time. This process will be done in a manner that protects privacy and data, and is minimally disruptive. I have great faith in the team at Evri and believe they will handle this with great care and respect for the Twine community.
  • Twine was well-received by the press and early-adopter users.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • At the time of beta launch and for almost six months after, Twine was still very much a work in progress. Fortunately our users and the press were fairly forgiving as we worked through evolving the GUI and feature set from what was initially just slightly better than an alpha site to the highly refined and graphical UI we have today. During these early days of Twine.com we were fortunate to have a devoted user-base and this became a thriving community of power-users who really helped us to refine the product and develop great content within it.
  • These losses meant we could no longer create compelling content or to manage the Twine community. So we put Twine.com on auto-pilot and let the traffic fall off. While painful to watch, this at least had the benefit of reducing the pressure to scale the system and support it under load, giving us time to focus all our energy on getting T2 finished and raising more funds.
