Firstly, in all honesty, I am a douche when it comes to music. I heard a sample of the Keyes bit somewhere, but the song is essentially new to me. Initially I thought he was doing a funny send-up of self-absorbed rap artists but... I think I'm with Bruce the map is prolly an effect of Clearchannel corp.

And I bet a significant portion of that science budget is for military purposes.

But then a shitload of science is financed through DARPA and I'm not sure where that money would show up... if at all.

DARPA starts a company, then that company spins off another, then an existing DARPA startup morphs into something else, then THAT company develops it's "purpose", then creates something a bit different but with a similar theme, and on and on and on...

DARPA---Google---LifeLog---FaceBook---YouTube---Twitter---23andMe---The Brain Initiative---AncestoryDotCom---LinkedIn

All taking every aspect of your life and placing it in a life log. Individually they seem cool enough. Take a step back and maybe not as much so.

Data from every aspect of your life being collected. And shared. For one great big file about YOU ( and me ).

No, that's not disturbing. They are all working for my best interests.

And so much of it starts with DARPA.
