Conan O'Brien on Failure

Conan O'Brien on Failure:

“It is our failure to become our perceived ideal, that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. Your perceived failure can become a catalyst for reinvention.”

“Featuring a future concept by design collective NAU, this spec teaser short film reveals an evolution in computing interaction, within a setting inspired by the penultimate scene from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Starring that film’s lead actor, Keir Dullea; “2011” was developed over a two year period. Live action was filmed multi-camera, against greenscreen atop a backlit plexi floor on a shoestring budget. Mr. Dullea was then integrated into an entirely digitally created CG set rendered at 1080HD.

The Immersive Cocoon itself, is not a commercial product. It is a concept study; an idea to push the envelope and provoke a new conception of interface technology.”

The Human Experience:

I recommend The Human Experience, an amateurish, but well-shot and affecting documentary, currently available on Netflix Instant.

“Okay, so people gravitate toward information that confirms what they believe, and they select sources that deliver it. Same as it ever was, right? Maybe, but the problem is arguably growing more acute, given the way we now consume information—through the Facebook links of friends, or tweets that lack nuance or context, or “narrowcast” and often highly ideological media that have relatively small, like-minded audiences. Those basic human survival skills of ours, says Michigan’s Arthur Lupia, are “not well-adapted to our information age.””

- Chris Mooney in The Science of Why We Don’t Believe, reminding me to be ever-vigilant in challenging my beliefs and that even I can be susceptible to confirmation bias.

“

Not surprisingly, those who had eight hours of sleep hardly had any attention lapses and no cognitive declines over the 14 days of the study. What was interesting was that those in the four- and six-hour groups had P.V.T. results that declined steadily with almost each passing day. Though the four-hour subjects performed far worse, the six-hour group also consistently fell off-task. By the sixth day, 25 percent of the six-hour group was falling asleep at the computer. And at the end of the study, they were lapsing fives times as much as they did the first day.

The six-hour subjects fared no better — steadily declining over the two weeks — on a test of working memory in which they had to remember numbers and symbols and substitute one for the other. The same was true for an addition-subtraction task that measures speed and accuracy. All told, by the end of two weeks, the six-hour sleepers were as impaired as those who, in another Dinges study, had been sleep-deprived for 24 hours straight — the cognitive equivalent of being legally drunk.

“This short film is actually an advertisement for Japanese mobile phone company Docomo, but it’s nonetheless hard to resist: a linear musical instrument designed by Drill Inc. is played by the descent of a wooden ball as it slowly rolls down track, sending xylophonic plinks and plonks out into the forest.”

Nice work with the Capitolio app. You aren't the same Justin Stahl who went to KSU are you?

Thank you very much, it was a fun project. Unfortunately, no, I did not attend KSU.

“Much of the village on the Thai island of Koh Panyee is actually floating; the island is too rocky to build much of anything on land. So when a group of kids wanted to start a soccer club, they built themselves a floating soccer pitch…which led to some interesting advantages once they started playing against other teams.”

“Conceived and built in 1930 by the German rail company Deutsche Reichsbahn, the Schienenzeppelin was a design alternative to the streamlined steam locomotives of its day. It was a slick and relatively lightweight at 20 tons, running on but two axles and powered by a 46-liter BMW V-12.”
