A big game where players spread RFID tags in the city, which an opposing team then has to find and zap. I think. It's badly dressed up as art, and thus the text is pretty much unreadable.
“ The truth is common property. You can't distinguish your group by doing things that are rational, and believing things that are true. If you want to set yourself apart from other people, you have to do things that are arbitrary, and believe things that are false. ”— Paul Graham: Lies We Tell Kids

“ The Pythagorean theorem was known before Pythagoras, Gaussian distributions were not discovered by Gauss.— In the Air: Who says big ideas are rare?
The examples were so legion that Stigler declared the existence of Stigler’s Law: “No scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer.”
Stigler’s Law was true, Stigler gleefully pointed out, even of Stigler’s Law itself.

In the Air: Who says big ideas are rare? (The New Yorker)
Maybe the extraordinary process that we think is necessary for invention—genius, obsession, serendipity, epiphany—isn’t necessary at all.
Scientific discoveries must, in some sense, be inevitable. They must be in the air, products of the intellectual climate of a specific time and place.
A scientific genius is not a unique source of insight; he is merely an efficient source of insight.
Good ideas are out there for anyone with the wit and the will to find them.

My repeatable upload actions have so far been sorely unmanaged. Finally there's a publishing mediation and distribution platform to manage them!
Wait, what? What on earth does this web app do?

thenausner“ As of this Ajax revolution, the industry shifted to trying to optimize JavaScript. And that has triggered what is going to be a landslide of research in optimizing dynamic languages.— Steve Yegge
It's cool again! "Cool" in the sense of getting venture funding, right? "Cool" in the sense of making meaningful differences to all those people writing Super Mario clones in JavaScript.
JavaScript is gonna become one of the smokin'-est fast languages out there. And I mean smokin' fast. ”
