Attachment vs Non-Attachment

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

The puppet speaks the truth.

You’ve done your morning yoga, you’ve meditated, prayed for world peace, had your blended soy chai mocha-frappa-latte, flipped off and cursed the crazy driver who cut you off in traffic…you’re a vegetarian, a yoga teacher (who isn’t these days) and better than everyone else…life is good.

BUT HAVE YOU LAUGHED TODAY?

It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re from, what your spiritual practice is, how many times you’ve been to India, Peru, how many hours you’ve clocked at the yoga studio or how many sweat lodges you’ve done: Master Puppetji speaks to all.

His insightful and useless “Socksangs” are light-hearted reminders that help us open our eyes to a new way of SEEING. A master at squashing illusion with Wizdumb, humor and meaningless insights, Puppetji cuts through the spiritual mumbo-jumbo and gets right to The Truth: According to Puppetji.

Puppetji’s message is simple: “You take life too seriously…Enlighten-up”

Attachment vs Non-Attachment

The Game’s Afoot, Watson

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Watson is the latest machine from IBM designed solely to kill all humans beat humans at Jeopardy!.

Code-named “Watson” after IBM founder Thomas J. Watson, the IBM computing system is designed to rival the human mind’s ability to understand the actual meaning behind words, distinguish between relevant and irrelevant content, and ultimately, demonstrate confidence to deliver precise final answers.

Interestingly, to play Jeopardy! Watson must understand clues involving irony, puns, subtle use of language, and love. It’s a question answering generating machine!

“Give me ‘Kill All Humans’ for $1000, Alex.”

“Ha ha, oh, Watson……”

(How can a game be a foot?)
