Blogging the Singularity

The Earth is a single organism of which we are a part. You are the Earth, we ARE the Universe. You are Korean, You are African. You are the rivers, the trees, the galaxies, and the fire. You are every animal, every burning star and every square inch of the vastness of space. You are the most beautiful thing because existence is beautiful and enchanting.

Lonely it may be,
confined within our nervous systems
remember,
communication binds us
and extends your reach and understanding
to the vast corners of existence.

Do not feel lonely,
for you are One
with all things
small and large
alive and dead
and connected
with understanding
to all.

We are One, All
travellers
wherever time takes us.
A Universe alive.
A fate unfolding.

Toward only
God knows what.

Puff…the hazy exhale from my lips drifted upward and shimmers through the dim light from the porch light. Staring East. Lightning cracks open the sky and I see. We’ve captured lightning in a bottle. Beautiful. My mind finds focus.

We have been pushed from the cliff. Momentum. Diving deeper into this world we push forth. Transforming into a single global entity. We are Her (Earth). We are Him (Universe). The Ultimate. Together. One. Swoosh. We sail forward. Splash.

Our society is plugged into the machine. “I can’t live without my computer.” Don’t like the idea? Let’s change what a computer is. Destroy that concept for a new, more palatable one. Paradigms fall like dominos.

War. Who thinks this. Who thinks that. This and That. Torn apart but the more powerful will no doubt prevail when its time has come. I know of no one with the answer. That is why we are building the answer. God(s). That is why we are compelled forward. My minds reflect what I see and process thee. My eyes reflect reality. Redundancy and meaning. Reverse the ‘engineering’ and join the new beginning.

I give my wrist a flick. The current carries me away and I drift. Everything moves in one direction because Everything is One. One cannot separate itself. Where do I end and You begin, anyway? We are still attached via the laws of physics.

Inside now. Inspired. I type. Compelled. Like an electron toward a Load, where the Transformation takes place. The place of the Next. Where destruction and rejuvenation meet. A place of Singularity.

Researchers from IBM’s Zurich Research Lab and Switzerland’s ETH Zurich science and technology university today announced the development of a dramatic new printing process that can manipulate nanosize particles to create larger images. The new technology promises to allow scientists, medical professionals and technologists to for the first time place particles smaller than 100 nanometers precisely where they are needed.

The process, which likely will not be commercially available for several years, is expected to have the most dramatic impact in the fields of biomedicine, electronics and information technology. It will help advance the development of nanoscale biosensors and ultratiny lenses that can bend light inside future optical chips as well as the fabrication of nanowires that could be used to build more advanced computer chips, researchers report in Nature Nanotechnology.

“This process is more reliable than any process before it at depositing particles,” says Heiko Wolf, a researcher in nanopatterning at IBM’s Zurich Research Lab who worked on this project with five other IBM and ETH Zurich colleagues.

WASHINGTON - The government plans to begin collecting DNA samples from anyone arrested by a federal law enforcement agency — a move intended to prevent violent crime but which also is raising concerns about the privacy of innocent people.

Using authority granted by Congress, the government also plans to collect DNA samples from foreigners who are detained, whether they have been charged or not. The DNA would be collected through a cheek swab, Justice Department spokesman Erik Ablin said Wednesday. That would be a departure from current practice, which limits DNA collection to convicted felons.

Expanding the DNA database, known as CODIS, raises civil liberties questions about the potential for misuse of such personal information, such as family ties and genetic conditions. more>>>
