I don’t think this will go any further… Well, at least not until some intelligent materials go into mainstream. Imagine your pants absorbing your bodily smell and turning it into a wonderful scent of your choice. I can think of several multinational companies that wouldn’t like to smell nice all the time.

An act of evolution witnessed

Praise the Jesus! Here comes another proof of evolution.

It comes from Lake Victoria, the largest tropical lake in the world.

As if you didn’t believe in evolution already, there’s something new to this discovery for the field of evolutionary science. Namely, speciation (the formation of new species) was generally thought to happen when one species is separated in two groups by a physical barrier, allowing each group to develop different traits. This was not necessary for new species of cichlid fishes to develop. “The observations of Lake Victoria’s cichlids provide evidence of an unusual form of evolution known as sympatric speciation, which occurs without the physical separation of a population group.”

The Spore presentatation on TED

Yes, I finally stumbled upon this!

It’s the TED 2007 presentation by Will Wright, the author of Sim series of simulation games, titled “Toys that make worlds”. [via YouTube]

In the presentation, Will gives a tour-de-force review of his childhood education in a Montessori school and the impact it had on his life and, ultimatively, on this exciting game. Succintly, he calles The Spore game a “imagination amplifier”. Indeed it is!

Already getting anxious?

Yes? Then hold your pants mice until September 7 (this year) as it will when it will become available for PC, Macintosh, Nintendo DS and - mobile phones! :-)
