Real Clever Science

My name is Ari Einbinder. This is the journal of my travels into the realm of science and science education.
I've worked at science museums in NY (NYSCI and AMNH) and across Europe. Currently I'm studying "museology" (aka museum studies) at UW in Seattle, WA. I'm also one of Tumblr's Science Section editors.

I discuss anything that fascinates me, but popular topics include evolution, transhumanism (e.g BCI), futurism, psychology, quantum computing, climate change, sustainability, genetic engineering and occasionally politics - to name a few.

Enjoy!

Gmail Motion - No (Longer a) Joke

On April 1st I shared a promo video about Google’s new Gmail Motion (here) - an April Fools Day joke about a using wild body gestures to control gmail. Well, sure enough a few researchers hacked an XBox 360 Kinect to do just that.

Check out the link (Thanks Jer!). It’s entirely ridiculous, but an awesome example of how technology and the growing “hack culture” is opening up new creative frontiers. (And btw, the Kinect is probably one of the best things to happen to hack culture, which is a huge win for everyone.) Dig it.
