3 riveting ways to ingest & share this blog

At the request of several readers – and in the site’s own interest of survival and propagation in the ever-growing blogosphere – RSS feeds, email updates, and social media bookmarks have been added to Infiniteuser.  (More on what this means for the future of humanity and the blogosphere in the coming weeks).  See those shiny little icons in the top right of the sidebar?

Much like a giant spoon, feeds allow the web to come to you.  This video does a fine job of explaining the basic concept and how to use feeds: “RSS In Plain English.”  Here’s an article for the more literary-inclined.  Some of you may prefer to get blog updates in your normal email inbox, which is now also possible by subscribing here. So while I love your visits, go ahead and subscribe to get the latest posts the day they’re published.  It’s all about getting the content to you, the user, fast and easy.

You may also see a Share button like the one below from time to time, which will let you bookmark either the site or certain posts on popular social media tools such as Digg or Stumbleupon.  If you like an article, pass it along. 

Spread the word.

An Invisible Future

August 14, 2008

Yes the future is coming at us quickly!  And what’s future without invisibility? Earlier this week, scientists at Berkeley cloaked a 3D object by redirecting light around it, and are one step closer to invisibility cloaks. It’s about time.

A scientist in a July CNN article discussing the future of invisibility claimed that at this stage “clumps of dust particles” would be better candidates for such cloaks than trucks…  ..  However uncertain the future of invisibility may be, there are clearly looming military applications (the Berkeley study was funded in part by our friends at the US Army Research Office).  Historically, there has been a ton of human factors work in the development of military technology because of the big budgets and life-or-death consequences involved.   Well I’ll say it now (for the record): whatever great human factors research lies ahead in the realm of invisibility, I want to be in on it.  I guess we’ll have to see.
