Overwhelmed by social networking? ("I need to know what is important, and I don’t have time to sift through thousands of Tweets and Friendfeed messages and blog posts and emails and IMs a day to find the five things that I really need to know.") Imagining the Tenth Dimension. I dare you. Too heavy? Try old Johnny Cash.

tried the 10th dimension. way too early and not enough coffee yet for that. my husband, though, will probably get quite a kick out of it--he's much smarter than me. he reads your blog faithfully and enjoys many of your links. we are spending lots of time at Hasbro Hospital with our son (going on 10 weeks in intensive care, but he's on the mend) and your blog lends my husband lots of stuff to explore on our laptop (thankfully the hospital has wifi). so thanks on behalf of my husband, who will likely see this comment today when he logs in.

Kerry, thanks for the note, and I hope your child is home soon. Scary stuff to go through. I'm glad my blog has been a diversion for your husband. Sometimes when I'm posting these links I wonder if anyone else shares my nonstandard interests -- knowing that they've helped your husband through this makes my day.
Yeah, the 10th dimension can give you brain burn. (:
Easier: I've just added a link to quilts based on the Fibonacci curve -- the math that determines the number of rows of seeds in a sunflower, the curve of the chambered nautilus, etc. The quilts are amazing.

Ah, I gave into your dare and was impressed by the tenth dimension Web site. Thanks for the link up.
P.S- I'm getting tired of politics and social networks too.

Intuitive filters, Nicole, that's what we need. Linear machine thinking can't evaluate importance or let good surprises right though the walls. It seems the fatal flaw of machine intelligence.
