H+ Cafe: Where Transhumanist and Singularitarian Activists Meet
Posted by: Chris Williamson in H+ CafeMy active interest is in exposing the idea of accelerating change to the uninitiated. I enjoy bringing the wonder of accelerating change to others and am becoming increasingly involved in the discussion regarding the direction of future endeavors.
H+ Cafe is where we can each promote our own agendas, add to the dialogue, and create a broad coalition of activists together in one place.
I encourage all readers of Blogging the Singularity to become a part of the movement instead of sitting on the sidelines reading the latest news!
I’m especially interested in seeing people blog in H+ Cafe I’d love to read what you have to say (or type)!
There is also a forum thread about our favorite books please post yours there!

A Bad Week For Those Who Deny The Singularity
Posted by: Frank Whittemore in Singularity Commentary, NanotechnologyThis weeks news makes it a tough week to deny technology acceleration or an eventual technological Singularity. It is looking far more certain that a very powerful three dimensional DNA/RNA/Protein Nanotechnological capability is emerging and that nanotechnology will be integrated with carbon nanotubes and nanoparticle metal and can be used to bootstrap precise control and structures with carbon and metals.

Mind-reading headsets will change your brain
Posted by: Chris Williamson in Cyborg, The Brain, Futurism, Advanced Computing, Scientific Research, Medical Advances, gadgets, Accelerating Change
There’s already speculation about how the internet, gaming and other interactive technology is changing the brains of the next generation – albeit not necessarily well-founded. But for the generation after that, it will be normal to control machines using thought alone. Given the awesome adaptability and plasticity of the human brain, how will our biological hardware and software will adapt?. more>>>

New Singularity Documentary Film Project Needs YOUR help!
Posted by: Chris Williamson in We Are The SingularityHello,
My name is Chris Williamson. I blog the latest science news at BloggingTheSingularity.com.
I recently finished my feature-length film Racing Heart about two brothers from Laos and their American Dream of building an import drag racing team. Now I am aiming my cameras directly at the Singularity and those who are working as part of this movement.
Development of this new documentary will be published, presented, and discussed at a website called H+ Cafe (hpluscafe.com). Those who want to follow the film as its being made, comment on footage, and have input on the way it is made can join at WeAreTheSingularity.com.
Just think of the possibility of joining scientists, academics, researchers, and others directly involved with the Singularity movement with the general public, fans of science, and other laypeople together in one place, on one website: H+ Cafe. You also get to watch how a documentary film is put together - and even participate in the process!
I want to hold meetings every couple weeks or so where we can socialize, make plans, discuss the footage, and generally work together on this film.
Think of the community we can build around this film and the ideas it stands for!
The message is clear:
Humanity is on a path that could lead to a future where Transhumanism and the Technological Singularity are very real.
I urge every reader of Blogging The Singularity to join us on the project. Although the film is being made whether or not we receive enough donations, the extra funds and the community built around the project will certainly help create an even better film with more reach than otherwise.
Thousands of you read Blogging The Singularity everyday, keeping up with the latest trends, getting that sense of “wow!” at every advancement made.
This is your chance to be a part of it. Your help is needed NOW! Get in on the ground floor and watch it all come together.
The donation is only $25 to allow as many people to join and be a part of this project as possible.
Follow this link to join: WeAreTheSingularity.com
Along with access to H+ Cafe, your donation also entitles you to a copy of the film on DVD when it is complete.
Here it is again: WeAreTheSingularity.com
To those who have donated already: THANK YOU! To everyone else, please consider the benefits of membership. We look forward to meeting you at H+ Cafe!
Sorry about all the typing I’m VERY passionate about this project. Thanks!

New Machine Pumps Disembodied Heart
Posted by: Chris Williamson in Cyborg, Medical Advances, Longevity, Ethics/Dangers, Accelerating Change
A new machine makes an animal heart pump much like a live heart after it has been removed from the animals body.
Wednesday, May 13, 2009
After a pig’s final oink, a new machine can pump the dead animal’s extracted heart so that the muscle beats much like the live one did, scientists say.
The machine, created by researchers at North Carolina State University, can help scientists experiment with new technologies for heart surgery without sacrificing the time and money usually needed to perform research on live animals or carry out a clinical trial.
Before medical devices can be used in heart surgery, they are tested on live pigs because their heart valves are very similar to human valves. But these studies are expensive and scientists need to get permission to use live animals for their research, which takes time.

Lost robot crosses city by asking directions
Posted by: Chris Williamson in Robotics, Advanced ComputingRobots are getting better at finding their way around unknown areas, and making their own maps as they explore. But robots lost in urban areas don’t need to rely on their own faculties to get from place to place, German roboticists have shown.
Their mobile robot simply rolls up to any humans nearby and asks for directions. By using that strategy, their robot has become one of the first to be properly let loose in the real world, not just carefully controlled environments.
Martin Buss’s team at the Technical University of Munich dumped their mobile robot outside the university and instructed it to find its way to the Marienplatz in the centre of Munich, some 1.5 kilometres away. more>>>

Two Very Important Telescopes Headed for L2!!!
Posted by: Chris Williamson in Videos, Advanced Computing, Colonizing Space, Scientific Research, Physics, Accelerating ChangeClick here to watch video at BBC:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8050327.stm
By Jonathan Amos
Science reporter, BBC News
Europe’s Herschel and Planck telescopes have blasted into space on an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou in French Guiana.
The satellites are being sent into orbit to gather fundamental new insights into the nature of the cosmos.
The Ariane thundered clear of the launch pad at 1312 GMT (1412 BST) - its flight lasting just under half an hour.
Mission controllers in Germany made contact with the telescopes over the Indian Ocean once they had separated from the rocket’s upper-stage.
The acquisition of the signals, relayed through ground stations in Australia, will have been a moment of huge relief for everyone connected with the two observatory projects.
Their combined programme cost is 1.9bn euros (£1.7bn; $2.5bn), which made Herschel and Planck the highest value payload the European Space Agency’s (Esa) science division had ever put on a single rocket. more>>>

Plants use a genetic memory to recognise when it is spring
Posted by: Chris Williamson in Genes, Nanotechnology, Genetics, Ethics/Dangers
Cereal plants retain a ‘molecular memory’ of the cold, which helps them know when winter is over, say researchers (Source: iStockphoto)

Plants use a genetic memory to recognise when it is spring and can even count the number of cold days, Australian plant scientists have revealed.
In a paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, researchers show how winter cereal crops recognise when it is time to start flowering.
Co-author Dr Jim Peacock of CSIRO Plant Industry in Canberra says the findings could, in the future, help scientists genetically adapt wheat to remain productive under changing environments.
Peacock says winter cereal crops need exposure to an extended period of cold weather to begin flowering, a process known as vernalisation.

ACLU sues over patents on breast cancer genes
Posted by: Chris Williamson in Social Commentary, Scientific Research, Stem Cells, Medical Advances, Big Brother, Longevity, Ethics/Dangers, Accelerating Change
NEW YORK (CNN) — Myriad Genetics, a Utah-based company, vowed Wednesday to “vigorously defend” itself against a legal challenge to its patents on two human genes linked to breast and ovarian cancers, its attorney told CNN.
A lawyer in the case says patenting genes would be like patenting an eyeball removed from someone.
“Myriad strongly believes its patents are valid and enforceable and will be upheld by the courts,” said Richard Marsh, the company’s general counsel.
The American Civil Liberties Union is suing Myriad, arguing that patenting pure genes is unconstitutional and hinders research for a cancer cure. more>>>
