Communication Breakdown (Live Video)

Lyrics : For 27 years Ive been trying to believe and confide in Different people Ive found. Some of them got closer than others And someone wouldnt even bother and then you came around I didnt really know what to call you, you didnt know me at all But I was happy to explain. I never really knew how to move you So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins And I saw you But thats not an invitation Thats all I get If this is communication I disconnect Ive seen you, I know you But I dont know How to connect, so I disconnect You always seem to know where to find me and Im still here behind you In the corner of your eye. Ill never really learn how to love you But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky. Where I see you And thats not an invitation Thats all I get If this is communication I disconnect Ive seen you, I know you But I dont know How to connect, so I disconnect Well this is an invitation Its not a threat If you want communication Thats what you get Im talking and talking But I dont know How to connect And I hold a record for being patient With your kind of hesitation I need you, you want me But I dont know How to connect, so I disconnect I disconnect.

Intelligent Design advocates claim that when we see similarities between organisms, common designs, they must be evidence of a common designer. Here I show why this catchy little phrase fails miserably. Intelligent Design is built on two pillars: Irreducible Complexity, and Design. I have previously shown that evolution predicts the IC systems will evolve. Here I disprove the concept of design. Is life designed? Actually, yes. But the designer is not an intelligent supernatural being, life is sculpted by the environment through natural selection. Mother Nature and Father Time are the designers of life.

And remember to always, Think about it.

Google Tech Talk November 19, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Steven Dow. How does the structure of prototyping practice affect learning, motivation, and performance? In this talk, I will describe research on iteration and comparison, two key principles for discovering contextual design variables and their interrelationships. We found that, even under tight time constraints when the common intuition is to stop iterating and start refining, iterative prototyping helps designers learn. Our results also demonstrate that creating and receiving feedback on multiple prototypes in parallel — as opposed to serially — leads to more divergent concepts, more explicit comparison, less investment in a single concept, and better overall design performance. This talk highlights relevant research in cognitive and social psychology and shares the results of our preliminary design studies. Steven Dow is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the HCI Group at Stanford University where he researches human-computer interaction, creative problem-solving, prototyping practices, and computing for education and entertainment. He is a co-recipient of a Hasso Plattner Design Thinking Research Grant 2009-10. He received an MS and PhD in Human-Centered Computing from Georgia Institute of Technology and a BS in Industrial Engineering from University of Iowa.

Interior Design: Best of 2009. Fore more, visit: www.home-designing.com This is a video that features the best interior designs we came across this year. The designs featured in this video include the works of some of the world's top interior designers, furniture makers and 3d architectural visualizers. As such we have not tried to limit the designs to any one room or space. So you are likely to find living room designs, bedroom designs, Kitchens, baths and even kids space design in this video.
