This is a really interesting video: A New Marriage of Brain and Computer
It's talking about a link between quantum effects and consciousness.
Here's the guy's website: http://www.quantumconsciousness.org/
Pretty interesting stuff if you are interested in the roots of consciousness or the complexity of human cognition.

So I was just sitting there watching the Colbert Report and enjoying my La Maitresse du Moine Dark Strong Ale from the Midnight Sun Brewing Company, when this came on: The Craziest F#?king Thing Stephen Colbert Has Ever Heard
I was laughing so hard I had trouble breathing. I could have been the Ale... But seriously, it was funny.

In this digital age, all our devices are complicated PCBs and ICs. It's nice to see a VERY simple circuit that performs a useful task. It sparks something visceral when something simple like this can create a bridge between the evanescent world of invisible radio waves and our senses in the tangible world.
