Finally, over 10 years later, Crytek's Crysis maxed out on a Budget Laptop -

Notwithstanding the decade and some change that has gone by since it all started, we set out to see how relevant the expression "But can it run Crysis?" still is for today's entry level gaming laptops.

Celeste, in this presentation at TED, makes a very strong case, and justifiably so, for how conversational skills are the probably the most important set of skills needed for success in personal as well as professional pursuits of today.

I especially loved the part where she quotes Gautam Buddha, “If your mouth is open, you’re not learning.” This is the key, you see. There is no growth without learning, whether it is the increasingly more intellectual rumination of a sapient consciousness or the evolution of the DNA of an increasingly efficient advanced species. And there is no learning without transferring of the focus outward such that observations and experiences can be meaningfully retained and utilized in the future. Like she points out, “It is not about you, it is about them.” We need to learn to listen better. That’s the only way to grow.

In addition to this massive non-negotiable benefit, good listening skills also improve a person’s capacity for empathy and as a direct consequence, for accruing genuine goodwill. That is the foundation of good relationships. And good relationships are the foundation for successful entrepreneurship on one hand and happiness on the other. So you see? It really wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that we all could benefit from improving our listening skills. All the advice Celeste offers in this talk is a great place to begin.

Leader of Learning

I am a passionate educator and an aspiring leader in the space of enabling progressive learning for all, at schools and at workplaces. I have been facilitating professional training for people at work and in schools towards enhanced business communication and soft skills for nearly a decade now. Every day, as I educate leaders of today and of the future, the inseparability of being a good learner and being a good leader becomes ever more insistent. Enabling people who want to, to learn better and to lead better, has thereby been a relentless pursuit for me. Ensued from which also the realization that in the face of exploding information and unprecedented advancements in human knowledge, if we want to remain capable of good learning and good leadership in the long run, we must do better than we are doing right now. To this end, I have now become imbued with my stake in progressive education and human augmentation.

Just the tip of the iceberg, I’m sure you realize

Koalas have had it hard. The marsupial nearly disappeared in the 1920s and 1930s due to heavy hunting. Even earlier, at the time of the first European settlers, the animal was considered to be extremely unintelligent and millions were killed for their pelts. Since, they’ve been threatened by “the impact of forest clearance, large-scale forest fires, and the introduction of zoonotic disease, particularly domestic animal strains of chlamydia.”

Another struggle comes from the fact they they’re frequently referred to as “koala bears” while the koala is not, in fact, a bear, but rather a marsupial. Other friends in this category include kangaroos, wallabies, wallaroos, wombats, and possums.

But one stereotype about koalas rings true: that of their apparent laziness. Like some other modern 21st century citizens, koalas spend the majority of their time napping and eating. More than 80 percent of their time is spent sleeping, with less than 10 percent eating (up to a pound of leaves a day), and the rest just sitting.

Regardless of the koala’s uncomplicated schedule, the Australian Koala Foundation estimates that there are less than 100,000 Koalas left in the wild, and possibly as few as 43,000. As it happens, this has led to the term ‘koala’ being adopted in Australia as slang for a diplomat who is immune from law.

While some are fighting to change their protection status from “vulnerable” to “critically endangered” it seems high time that the everyone appreciates the koala for the unique, gentle creature that it is.

Entry a.2 : -

I never cared much for television...but recent developments in technology, with free unlimited proxy recording and what not, have served well to motivate me otherwise. Anyway...I was just browsing through what my new digital television service provider had to offer. Little did I know that I was about to be bedazzled...rather unexpectedly, far breaching the standards of unexpectability that may usually be expectable in the average bedazzlement.

Guys at a channel called '& pictures' were playing "The Green Hornet" dubbed in Hindi, and for reasons incomprehensible in the moment, that particular sequence did not only thwart my long established disapproval for dubbed movies but also weirdly managed to constantly remind me of the newest “Green Lantern.”

“What is it, the connection? Surely not the green!” I was not so sure.

However after some consideration…this “connection” was fast becoming unambiguous. To begin with, on reflection, I realized that this other day I had happened upon a passive domestic screening of the “Green Lantern,” also dubbed in Hindi. It had played diligently in the background, although I can’t seem to be able to remember nor imagine why it had been allowed to, while I debated the comparative coolness of contemporary superheroes with a couple of friends (I had continued rooting for Iron Man although I could not come up with too many impregnable reasons to like him better than Star Lord.) Anyway, Google had soon helped discover that the Hindi dub-over artist, Mohan Kapoor, who had voiced over Sinestro in “Green Lantern” had also voiced over Bloodnofsky in “The Green Hornet.”

The ‘Eureka moment’ ensued…with immense prejudice. Obviously, my hippocampus (brain, well…a certain part of it) had decided to store Mohan Kapoor’s voice-overs as episodic memories. My prefrontal cortex (also brain, but a different part), upon encountering the second instance, had clearly recognized these memories as stored through overlapping engrams (memory trace mechanisms.)

In other words, my brain had connected my memories of these movies by the common link, the voice-overs. Therefore, for you “The Connection.”

Entry a.1 : -

It's interesting how Crystal Dynamics' newest "Tomb Raider" has managed to get me to reminisce meself a nostalgic array of gaming memories. Apparently totally unrelated except the stupid in-your-face mirthlessness, I'm sure I'd discover some cognitive relationships if I were to get down to it, the memories of "The Warriors," "Obscure," "Max Payne," "The Room" and most importantly "Shadow of the Colossus" rush to my introspection turned deliberation.

Damn! That "Shadow of the Colossus" was some game! Even though I played it as a little kid...I got hooked on to it so bad I couldn't lay the controller down until it was....over. It seems to me it could, the experience of that game could, reach out to and connect to something very deep inside me. I still remember that soul wrenching night as one of the most consuming experiences of my life! It was Epic, thanks to Fumito Ueda and team! Hoping "The Last Guardian" will conclude as they envisioned it and soon!

As I write...the memories of that Hayao Miyazaki movie I can't remember the name of are embracing me.

How Greece became an unlikely mecca for subversive street art

In the wake of the global financial crisis and subsequent Great Recession, Greece has emerged as a new hub for powerful, subversive street art. After six years of economic decline, the country has an unemployment rate of 26.4%, and the hardships wrought by the country’s economic collapse have led to a new wave of innovative graffiti.
