BBC has a good article about Peter Norman, the other man on the podium at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. He stood in solidarity with Tommie Smith and John Carlos and it cost him his Olympic career.

It starts slow, but the pay off is totally worth it.
“Digital organisms, while not necessarily any more alive than a phone book, are strings of code that replicate and evolve over time. Digital codes are strings of binary digits—bits. A Pixar movie is just a very large number, sitting idle on a disc, while Microsoft Windows is an even larger number, replicated across hundreds of millions of computers and constantly in use. Google is a fantastically large number, so large it is almost beyond comprehension, distributed and replicated across all kinds of hosts. When you click on a link, you are replicating the string of code that it links to. Replication of code sequences isn’t life, any more than replication of nucleotide sequences is, but we know that it sometimes leads to life.”
George Dyson in Wired
New DJ Shadow video. High concept and silly at the same time. I really like it.
