[T]rane's diary entry and the later MLP discuss the life and death, primarily the latter, of Chris McKinstry, better known around these parts as mindpixel. His Mindpixel Project was an AI experiment; but in that I was never terribly interested. I was more interested in his theories on cognition and the brain as a hypersphere, optimised for surface area.

Tycho:  When we were working on our first serious comic project, a comic about angels in high-school that would probably have made us wealthy beyond mortal imaginings, we got into our first real fight about religion.  Shaking with rage, he essentially threw me out of his house.  He called me up a few hours later to play Duke, but still.  We never talked about the comic again.  We try never to discuss anything of substance if we can help it, though we do allow an annual fracas as a gift to one another.  Oh, and here's a Gabe tip:  never end the Lord's Prayer with "Psyche."  Never.

Tycho:  Gabe keeps coming into the Goddamn office with his Goddamn tales of high adventure, telling me about how there's tokens or some shit in Burning Crusade now, or maybe tiers, and other words I had scoured from my consciousness.  He also says there is hot new five-man content, which initially sounded like pornography.  The comic is correct - I purchased it in a moment of weakness.  As I must often approach you, the cherished reader, to apologize for this or that indiscretion, it may be more appropriate to say that I have moments of strength which are suspended in cowardice and moral decay.

I'm a contrarian. It's natural. It's what happens when you're born black and male in New Orleans. You grow up questioning authority and challenging conventional wisdom. It's both a mode of survival and a disease. I have it bad. I'm addicted to argument.

I see that Cory Doctorow has made another panicked grab at relevancy once again! His most recent InformationWeek article, How To Keep Hostile Jerks From Taking Over Your Online Community, is his latest exercise in self-deception where he tries convincing himself that he knows something about the hip, happenin' thang we call the Innanet.        That Cory has little useful knowledge of keeping hostile jerks from taking over online communities is proven most aptly and amusingly by the way he chose to keep hostile jerks from taking over his weblog BoingBoing: he destroyed its community by shutting off its comments system.

I&#39;m not the first person to suggest Mozart suffered from Tourette&#39;s syndrome. The idea was mooted by a Scandinavian scientist who based his theory on the scatological tone of Mozart&#39;s letters.

Not every internet forum is blessed with the mentally ill. Love him or hate him, MichaelCrawford is one of Kuro5hin's best and most prolific writers. He is truly a K5 icon.    But, alas, tragedy has struck. The MichaelCrawford account has been struck down, deleted, anonymised. The full details of why this outrage against K5 has been perpetrated are not clear; it appears that the editor pwhysall  took offense at a recent failed Crawford submission to the queue and left snarky comments; in response, our favourite K5 writer with schizoaffective disorder submitted story called "Let's All Get pwhysall Laid". Since then, the MichaelCrawford account has been missing in action.    Inside: What you can do to help

An article last Thursday about narcissistic behavior among young adults incorrectly attributed the following quotation to Plato: âThe children now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise.â Its origin is unclear, although many researchers agree that Plato is not the source.
