• wikipedia: Codex Seraphinianus
  The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by the Italian architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini during thirty months, from 1976 to 1978.[1] The book is approximately 360 pages long (depending on edition), and appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, an incomprehensible (at least for us) alphabetic writing.

• wikipedia: Voynich manuscript
  The Voynich manuscript is a mysterious illustrated book with incomprehensible contents. It is thought to have been written between approximately 1450 and 1520 by an unknown author in an unidentified script and language. Over its recorded existence, the Voynich manuscript has been the object of intense study by many professional and amateur cryptographers, including some top American and British codebreakers of World War II fame (all of whom failed to decrypt a single word). This string of failures has turned the Voynich manuscript into a famous subject of historical cryptology, but it has also given weight to the theory that the book is simply an elaborate hoax — a meaningless sequence of arbitrary symbols.

• Wired 12.10 (Oct 2004): The Long Tail
  This is not just a virtue of online booksellers; it is an example of an entirely new economic model for the media and entertainment industries, one that is just beginning to show its power. Unlimited selection is revealing truths about what consumers want and how they want to get it in service after service, from DVDs at Netflix to music videos on Yahoo! Launch to songs in the iTunes Music Store and Rhapsody. People are going deep into the catalog, down the long, long list of available titles, far past what's available at Blockbuster Video, Tower Records, and Barnes & Noble. And the more they find, the more they like. As they wander further from the beaten path, they discover their taste is not as mainstream as they thought (or as they had been led to belie

• Wired 14.12: Me Translate Pretty One Day
  Spanish to English? French to Russian? Computers haven't been up to the task. But a New York firm with an ingenious algorithm and a really big dictionary is finally cracking the code. With Carbonell on board, the new company set about building its Spanish system. Soon, however, Abir's peripatetic invention habits created conflicts. Klein, Carbonell, and the developers feared the company was losing focus. "Eli is a mad genius," Carbonell says. "Both of those words apply. Some of his ideas are totally bogus. And some of his ideas are brilliant. Eli himself can't always tell the two apart." Abir, determined to build a larger AI "brain" that would tackle not just MT but other problems, took little interest in the day-to-day engineering. Eventually he left the

• Wordorigins.org
  Wordorigins.org is devoted to the origins of words and phrases, or as a linguist would put it, to etymology. Etymology is the study of word origins. (It is not the study of insects; that is entomology.) Where words come from is a fascinating subject, full of folklore and historical lessons. Often, popular tales of a word's origin arise. Sometimes these are true; more often they are not. While it can be disappointing when a neat little tale turns out to be untrue, almost invariably the true origin is just as interesting.

• WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: What Happens When Things Get Free?
  Chris Anderson - Mr. Long Tail, editor of Wired Magazine - makes a great decision here at Pop!tech: assuming that everyone in the audience has either read The Long Tail or knows the argument, he gives a different talk: “What Happens When Things Get Free?” (It covers much of the same ground as the book, but draws a different narrative through many of the same examples.) He starts with a photo of Dr. Carver Mead. Mead started thinking about what happens as semiconductors get cheap to the point where they’re free. The answer is, “you should waste them.” This insight led to VLSI - Very Large Scale Integration - chips that included thousands of transitors, not just single ones.

• Writing advice Writing Advice from the desk of Aleph 02/08/2014
  As a preface to this (not so) little essay, I’d like to put a disclaimer that I am a) no great authority in writing, with only one major story to my name, b) frequently exhausted and rarely coherent when writing things of this nature and c) not necessarily entirely capable of following my own advice at all times, or indeed at any times. So... yeah, take this in the spirit that it’s meant. I’m fairly sure it’s sound advice - it seems to have worked for me, at least - but it is largely just what I’ve thrown together from my own reading and from the experience of writing Game Theory. I make no promises that it is sensibly conveyed, or that it is the objectively optimal perfect magical secret grimoire of writing kung-fu skills passed down through the

• YouTube: Jeff Han on TED Talks
  This is awesome! No need to pick a command like strech, scale, tilt, modify or rotate; it's just simple gestures... So Bill, you gonna post a response vid? BTW, do you know where I can get one these? he kept saying that there is no interface, what a lie, the MULTI-TOUCH sensor is an interface! (Also the Google Earth-like program had a GUI bar at the top) But aside from that little thing, three words sum it all up: I want that! Meh! There clearly is an interface. A) One does get a closer look a t a photograph by rubbing it. It may be simple but its far from natural. B) In the Google Earth style app there were BUTTONS! There is OBVIOUSLY still an interface. Having to learn a huge list of gestures will make it little better than an ancient CLI system.
