I found it over at Future Philosophy. It was pretty impressive for what it is. If only they'd use their skills for good instead of evil - as 86 would say.

I always keep up with what's happening there, in case it should go in the direction of something interesting.

random:

the other day I read about Chinese people who claimed that their chicken, Xiu Xiu, can do basic addition and subtraction sums by nodding its head when it sees the right answer. The Chinese, I have concluded, will do anything for money. This is what you get, people, when capitalism overruns the world: Chickens doing maths. What next, a chicken winning the Nobel Prize? And, am I the ONLY ONE who figures the chicken was trained to nod its head at certain intervals or at certian signals?

I'm generally not a big fan of this type of stop-motion stuff, but I thought this was a very good and original variation: What to do if you can't play instruments in real time.

It was actually the same person (Lasse Gejertsen) you were calling vacant in the other thread.

I know - this thread is actually how I found him for the other thread (this one does not show she vacant eyes). Vacant does not equate to useless. Actually I liked the music from the one you originally called vacant in the other thread.

I dont know about the chicken, but there was a similar story about dogs. Then they found out the people were making very subtle clues - they may not have even been aware that they were, such as smiling when the dog is supposed to stop barking, or looking at it.
