Introduction to Second life. Meant as an explanation for people from the business world not as familiar with virtual worlds, or second life.

presented at the Library of Congress, June 23rd 2008. This was tons of fun to present. I decided to forgo the PowerPoint and instead worked with students to prepare over 40 minutes of video for the 55 minute presentation.

To expand the idea of the "Ghosts" project, we're inviting anyone and everyone to create visuals to accompany the album's music. In a few months, we'll be gathering the entries we feel are particularly exceptional and highlighting them. There are no rules to this - be as creative as you like. Create a music video, or a short film, or something completely abstract. Use only one track from the album, or use multiple tracks. Only one caveat: Incorporating copyrighted materials (clips from movies, music by other artists, etc) into your video might limit our ability to feature it in the future. To submit your video, join the Ghosts group at http://www.youtube.com/group/ninghosts and add your video to the group. Good luck, and enjoy.

"Google Maps API Introduction Brandon Badger The Google Maps API is a powerful way to put a custom map on your website. In this session, you'll learn just how easy it is to create your own maps mashup. We'll start with the basics and progress through the tools that the API provides. By the end of the session, you'll be amazed at the sophisticated maps that you'll be able to embed on your web site with just a few lines of JavaScript. Speaker Bio: Brandon is the Product Manager for the Google Maps API and KML. While at Google, he has worked to grow the Google Maps and Google Earth development communities. Prior to Google, Brandon worked as an Engineer and Development Manager at Symantec. He holds an MS in Computer Science from Stanford University. As an Undergraduate, he played on the NCAA champion Stanford tennis team and earned a BA in Economics. "

Here we see Steve Jobs at a keynote in 1983 showing for the first time ever the famous "1984" ad by Ridley Scott to an exclusive audience. The ad was shown on tv shortly after that only once during the 1984 Superbowl & never aired again & is considered to be one of the greatest ads of all time.

Metal Method instructor Michael Angelo Batio explains what is taught in "Speed Kills" the original speed picking technique video guitar lesson. This includes Michael's performance of "No Boundaries". For more information: http://www.metalmethod.com/lead-guitar-lesson-speed-kills.htm A quick note from MAB: The ambient, reverbed, delayed sound that you hear on my lead guitar is not part of my sound, nor in the original version. When the original video was converted to DVD a different audio track was used and somehow this was the result. The original lead guitar sound had none of this reverbed, delayed ambience. Thanks.

Google Tech Talks December, 6 2007 ABSTRACT This tech talk series explores the enormous opportunities afforded by the emerging field of quantum computing. The exploitation of quantum phenomena not only offers tremendous speed-ups for important algorithms but may also prove key to achieving genuine synthetic intelligence. We argue that understanding higher brain function requires references to quantum mechanics as well. These talks look at the topic of quantum computing from mathematical, engineering and neurobiological perspectives, and we attempt to present the material so that the base concepts can be understood by listeners with no background in quantum physics. This first talk of the series introduces the basic concepts of quantum computing. We start by looking at the difference in describing a classical and a quantum mechanical system. The talk discusses the Turing machine in quantum mechanical terms and introduces the notion of a qubit. We study the gate model of quantum computing and look at the famous quantum algorithms of Deutsch, Grover and Shor. Finally we talk about decoherence and how it destroys superposition states which is the main obstacle to building large scale quantum computers. We clarify widely held misconceptions about decoherence and explain that environmental interaction tends to choose a basis in state space in which the system decoheres while leaving coherences in other coordinate systems intact.
