There’s a review on Ars Technica about an interesting new take on browsing by startup “searchme“. They take Apple’s coverflow to the browser; you can sign up for a beta, or just watch the video for now.

I just discovered this incredible Martin Wattenberg visualization of a the shape of a song. Repeated sections of music are shown with the arcs. You can actually visualize any song you want, as long as you can find it as a midi file.

Interesting story over at Wired about a study that seemingly shows the difference between adult and infant color processing. Specifically, it appears that the adult mind perceives colors through verbal processing centers while infants have a “more pure” experience, experiencing it through the pre-linguistic right hemisphere.

The question is whether that means that the experience is different between adults with developed language and infants; do infants “see” color differently? It probably doesn’t mean that babies can see infra-red, but does add another layer to the concept of color naming.
