NPR or ZUMBA
First, i think NPR's spring pledge drive occurred when we were on vacation. That makes me a little happy. But i don't listen much to NPR anymore. I only listen to stuff in the car, and then i'm always listening to CDs of ZUMBA! music, mentally working out routines. I've got a pretty good one for Celia Cruz' La Vida Es Un Carnaval. Oh. There's lots of bikinis in that video. Sorry... Bit what a totally positive song. The lyrics are really uplifting. Okay nevermind. I took out the bikini one because it was a live version, with less words.Right. So either i get to be politically informed or have a repertoire of ZUMBA! songs.
Totally unrelated: Dan, my favorite Aussie internet personality wrote about uploading consciousness into artificial computing systems. This is something which has worried me for a while. If i did upload myself into a vast computational substrate, i'd still be me, the guy who wanted to exist in a computer... and i'd see my emulated self doing all the things i wanted to do, but i'd still be me. Well it's good to know i'm not the only one thinking about that stuff.
