Not to interrupt Auntie Entity, but -- have all y'all seen this week's Time magazine cover?

"Ooops la pagina non può essere trovata!"

That's so much more chic in Italian.

I like that you can buy that cover in a frame.

ita, I think the middle wig in your post with a headband will do the trick.

Jesse, does having some direction for this concern help?

Kind of. Mostly I'm trying to get other people to understand that it's not actually my fault, but it just brings up weird stuff in my head. My direct boss gets it, the big big boss does not. If I can get the middle big boss to get it, maybe something can happen about it.

I love that you can buy that Time cover framed.

Tommy, try the link in a new browser window. It's simpler than scrolling through the whole original page.

Looking at the picture, maybe you could use a banana clip for a head band?

Also, I just realized that 75% of my problems at work today are hormone-related, and not actually work-related. I both like and hate realizing that.

Googling banana clip is interesting. I had only been aware of the machine gun-related definition.

I think the costume designers used springs. However, it's hard to find many or large pics. I bought the movie, and I'm checking to see if the friend I want to play Mad Max will watch it with me.

Jaysus. But it's good to know.

Ha! You saw what I mean, though?

Epileptic teen plays video games with chip in his head:

The teenager had a grid atop his brain to record brain surface signals, a brain-machine interface technique that uses electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity - data taken invasively right from the brain surface. It is an alternative to a frequently used technique to study humans called electroencephalographic activity (EEG) - data taken non-invasively by electrodes outside the brain on the scalp. Engineers programmed the Atari software to interface with the brain-machine interface system.

Eric C. Leuthardt, M.D., an assistant professor of neurological surgery at the School of Medicine, and Daniel Moran, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical engineering, performed their research on the boy who had the grids implanted so that neurologists and neurosurgeons can find the area in the brain serving as the focus for an epileptic seizure, with hopes of removing it to avoid future seizures. To do this, the boy and his doctors, Dr Mathew Smyth and Dr John Zempel, had to wait for a seizure.

With approval of the patient and his parents and the Washington University School of Medicine Institutional Review Board, Leuthardt and Moran connected the patient to a sophisticated computer running a special program known as BCI2000 (developed by their collaborator Gerwin Schalk at the Wadsworth Center, New York State Department of Health in Albany) which involves a video game that is linked to the ECoG grid. They then asked the boy to do various motor and speech tasks, moving his hands various ways, talking, and imagining. The team could see from the data which parts of the brain and what brain signals correlate to these movements. They then asked the boy to play a simple, two-dimensional Space Invaders game by actually moving his tongue and hand. He was then asked to imagine the same movements, but not to actually perform them with his hands or tongue. When he saw the cursor in the video game, he then controlled it with his brain.

"He cleared out the whole level one basically on brain control," said Leuthardt. "He learned almost instantaneously. We then gave him a more challenging version in two-dimensions and he mastered two levels there playing only with his imagination."

That's COOL.

My brains are about to leak out my ears.

Years from now, after the original designers are dead and the rest of us are merrily ignoring the years we spent here, researchers will curse those who came up with this data schema. I've been cursing them since I started here. But if someone ever gets these databases cold, they are so screwed. Predictions of planets colliding might be buried in the depths, but it will be impossible to discover.
