While perusing the web, I sometimes encounter odd brain-related products. Today some random link took me to the
Soda King, a purveyor of unusual soda pops.
Brainwash Soda combines an unnatural blue color and a skull logo with a brain portruding. How cool is that?
Or perhaps you need a
brain shaped Jello mold? Or perhaps a budget brain and skull model, perhaps from brain-mart.com.
I’ve long known about Nomic, a game where the players make up the rules as the game is played. Dvorak – A Nomic Card Game is a similar interesting idea, modified to be a card game. All cards start out blank, and the players make up and add cards as the game is played. Cool!
Modern GPUs are interesting bits of silicon. They pack a huge number of relatively slow floating point processors in parallel to achieve large throughput. Because of this, GPU performance has vastly exceeded the Moore’s law style improvements for the last decade. Recently other application programmers have begun to try to use the huge amount of compute power to other applications. In perusing some Slashdot links this morning, I ran across gpgpu.org which has links to all sorts of helpful resources.
