Getting past the brain’s crap filter.

Okay, so this site leans toward marketing schtuff but a couple of the entries are interesting for the non-marketing info they contain. This entry and the next have links to two that I’ve found today.

Creating Passionate Users: Getting past the brain’s crap filter.
Because in so many ways, Your Brain Is Not Your Friend. It thinks you’re still living in a cave, and it’s sole job is survival of *you* as a human, and survival of the species. And what IT thinks is important and what YOU think are… really different.

Learning a programming language, it turns out, isn’t high on the brain’s list of Things To Keep You Alive.

A compelling presentation of one possible future for mass media. But I can’t figure out how buying TiVo(tm) serves Google in any way.

Insight into ocular mod

Following up on my earlier post today about JewelEye, Shannon Larratt of the excellent Body Modification Ezine points to his wife Rachel’s personal account of Cosmetic Extraocular Implantation. Shannon says Rachel was the first American to have the procedure done. And I was very wrong in my original post: self-installation is clearly not an option. Rachel writes:

“The procedure itself involved injecting a liquid to elevate and separate the layers of the eyeball, which helps the surgeon with the placement of the implant under the conjunctiva (in old age, many people build up calcium deposits in this area, so our eye is actually designed to handle material stuck there). A small flap is cut, and the implant is inserted. After it was in place, they began suctioning out the liquid that was used to elevate the layers. After a few weeks, the liquid will dissipate and the implant will become even more visible.”

Ed: Don’t be fooled by Blockbuster’s clever marketing; they think they’re competing with Netflix, but they’re not even close. (And I haven’t been a Netflix subscriber in several years, thank you.)

Over on TechPopuli I’ve posted a little rant about Blockbuster’s claim that they’ve “eliminated” late fees. The thing is, they actually haven’t eliminated them, just reduced them, and changed the structure….
