“As it stands, Obama’s tenure has a dark side, one that makes calling him “The First Drone President” or “the First Assassin President” every bit as apt as “The First Gay President.” His first term isn’t worthy of adulatory celebration. Nor is the function of intellectuals to celebrate powerful elites. That’s what political operatives and partisan hacks are for. The issues on which Obama is wrong matter too much to shower him with effusive praise. That doesn’t mean withholding credit where it’s due. It does mean keeping achievements in context, and never apologizing for having pushed and cajoled and criticized Obama before he decided to do the right thing. His job is to do the right thing. Ours is to expose every instance where he’s falling short.”— Conor Friedersdorf (via aheram)

This is a really interesting drawing program. I’ve always found recursion fascinating, but I struggle to get the hang of it from a programming standpoint. Anyway, watch the video, it’s cool.
Drawing programs don’t always have a “point”, even if they are fun. Recursive Drawing, however, aims to use a simple and addictive user-interface to explore how drawings could be translated into programming.

The universe is a bunch of atoms. It's all cold, causally determined physics bullshit. We're products of evolution, love is made of chemicals, and mind is an illusion.
