Visual Simulation of Processors
Although I don't know much about the physical design of processors, I find this visual simulation very interesting as it shows on what are based many aspects of our modern lives !
"IT" Bikes ?
Could bicycles become nodes of our digital connected world ? bring augmented reality to their riders ? ...

Our brains' lives ...
I don't know if it is a coincidence but I read recently two articles that point out how our "modern" lives may harm our brains...
The first one says that the constant activity of big cities implies very various pathologies : "from an inability to pay attention to a lack of self-control".
The second one says that the uninterrupted drive of our attention by digital gadgets would deprive our brains from a needed rest time.
Apart from avoiding obvious addictions, would there be an hygiene of the brain ? (less extreme than leaving everything !)

A Citation about Computer Science
Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (1972 Turing Award, the "Nobel Prize" of Computing), talking about the nature of computer science, said : "computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes."
Inspiration Generator !
Many creativity tools for writing, games, arts ... are proposed on this great website:
http://www.seventhsanctum.com/
It gathers very various ideas generators like stories generators (for different styles: modern, science-fiction, etc), characters and beings generators, "what-if-inator", legends combinator, and much more...
I'm surprised that there is not already a generator of generators :-) !

The bests of the bests
Each year, two websites for each of nearly 70 categories (from "Activism" to "Youth", through "Art", "Newspaper" ...) are elected as the best, one is chosen by professionals and the other by cybernauts. Here are the results :
to consider before googling ?

Internet can help renew our languages ! have a look at this site :
it's very simple, any body can submit a definition for an existing or a new word, then other people can vote for or against it. The result is very interesting :-) ...
