It played on the notion of a gene, as both genes and memes multiply with human-to-human contact. As UC Santa Cruz computer science professor Gerald Moulds put it, “Every idea that manages to self-replicate is a meme.” Internet memes are much the same thing. They spread from website to website, from community to community, from user to user across the Web, mutating and bonding together,… ]]> Mon, 06 Jun 2011 02:25:06 -0700 http://www.cityonahillpress.com/2011/05/05/a-medium-for-the-masses/ (Contemporary) Japanese karaoke hits http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/182301 Karaoke in Japanese.

He has chosen to engage in this pursuit alone.

Nate Dogg, having just arrived in Long Beach, seeks Warren. On his way to find Warren, Nate passes a car full of women who are excited to see him. Regardless, he insists to the women that there is no cause for excitement.

Warren makes a left turn at 21st Street and Lewis Ave, in the East Hill/Salt Lake neighborhood[6], where… ]]> Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:34:03 -0700 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulate_(song)#Synopsis Fool's Christmas http://www.flickr.com/photos/huge-entity/4176632880/

Now, more than 15 years after the game's release, we might have confirmation that the late King of Pop was responsible for the threequel's incredibly catchy ditties.

That's begun to change as the internet rewrites… ]]> Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:08:00 -0700 http://www.wired.com/dualperspectives/article/news/2009/06/dp_opensource_wired0616
