Sigur Rós - Heima
Gectigimiz gun Sigur Rós'un, buz ulkesi Izlanda'nin o sogugundan cikagelen bu ozel grubun Heima (Evde) adiyla yayinlanacak olan belgeselinin fragmanini izledim. Grubun 2006 yazinda Izlanda'da gerceklestirdikleri turneyi kapsayan bu proje, Sigur Rós'un icimizi isitan muzigini Izlanda'nin dogal guzellikleriyle bulusturuyor ve bizlere esi bulunmaz bir deneyim sunuyor. Asagida fragmandan sectigimin bazi kareleri sizlerle paylasiyorum ama siz bence en iyisi asagidaki linkten fragmanin kendisini izleyin.
P.S. Belki youtube videosunu da sayfaya ekleyebilirdim ama dogal olarak bunun kalitesi cok dusuktu, boyle bir sey yapmaya icim el vermedi..

Pencerede..
Eski fotograf toplamak gibi bir aliskanligim yok ama denk geldikce boyle fotograflari incelemeyi cogu kisi gibi cok severim. Ayri bir cekiciligi vardir eski bir fotografin; cunku ilk basta o fotograf cekildiginde daha varolmadigini bilirsin, istesen bile tanik olamayacagin bir olaya taniklik ediyordur bu fotograf, senin yabancisi oldugun bir devirde cekilen bir fotografi izlemeye daldiginda fotograftakiler kadar fotografi cekenin icinde oldugu hissi de hissetmeye cabalarsin.
Eski fotograflar severler icin bu tarz fotograflari sayfalarina tasiyan Square America adli web sitesi, Pencerede (At The Window) adiyla 33 fotograftan olusan tematik bir fotograf albumu olusturmus ve bizlerle paylasmis..

:: quote of the day
There was a silly damned bird called a phoenix back before Christ, every few hundred years he built a pyre and burnt himself up. He must have been first cousin to man. But every time he burnt himself up, he get himself born all over again. And it looks as though we're doing the same thing, over and over, but we've got one damn thing the pheonix never had. We know the damn silly thing we just did. We know all the damn silly things we've done for a thousand years and as long as we know that and always have it around where we can see it, some day we'll stop making the goddamn funeral pyres and junping in the middle of them.
~ Ray Bradbury (Fahrenheit 451)

Our Lives, Controlled From Some Guy’s Couch
Yine bir The New York Times haberi; bu seferki yazi Oxford Felsefe Bolumu ogretim uyelerinden Nick Bostrom ile onun simulasyon hipotezi* uzerine yapilmis bir roportaja dayaniyor..
- Are You Living in a Computer Simulation?, Nick Bostrom
Abstract
This paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we will one day become posthumans who run ancestor-simulations is false, unless we are currently living in a simulation. A number of other consequences of this result are also discussed.

The Philosophy of Computer Science
Springer'in yayinladigi felsefi icerikli Minds and Machines dergisi son sayisini Bilgisayar Bilimi Felsefesi konusuna ayirmis.
Computer scientists write programs. But so do economists, physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and engineers of all flavours—including software ones; the writing of programs does not distinguish the computer scientist from these other creators of software. Consequently, it does not distinguish the discipline of computer science. So what does? ...
