It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Interesting stuff but I definitely don't agree with the last one. There are people with natural abilities to learn faster then others. There is no dispute to this fact. This article seems to completely ignore this and seems to be saying that anyone can excel at anything given time and training. The reality is ... sure a lot of people can excel at certain things but some people excel at some things that others don't irrespective of how hard they both try.
Perfect examples of this are seen by everyone throughout their lives. One of the examples was my English exams. I always liked English but was a naturally lazy student. Some of my friends didn't like it so much but were dedicated to getting good entrance scores for university so they studied. I literally didn't. I only read the books we read in class and rarely ever handed in out of class assignments (I think I stopped completely in my final year). Yet I got better marks then many of those who worked harder and vice versa in subjects I did not like or was not profecient at.

Additionally a lot of peoples perception of someone as highly skilled in something can rely on chance. Some people get publicity, others get raw luck. For example, I only cook the simplest things for myself and rely on other family members for complex to prepare meals. I have seen how to cook them but I wouldn't be all that good at it. One day, by chance an idea shot into my head about a simple to prepare yet delicious meal. Chances are its been done before but it was above and beyond most things my family prepare in my own eyes.

A better example in the cooking field is a couple of Radio presenters in Australia. They interviewed Jamie Oliver (the famous British chef) and showed him, on air, a new technique for making toasted cheese sandwiches. They're not professional cooks but Oliver has since used this idea because of how novel and good it is.

Sorry for the rant ... some very interesting links there.

I was actually focusing more on the slashdot reader comments more than the article itself (which i didnt really read through). The arguments by readers were primarily made against the theory that genious is hard work rather than innate

~ExtremeJordan Aug 17, 2006

Yeah, I agree with a lot of what you said. I, for one, am a pretty lazy student yet I'm the smartest in my class. Many students that aren't as smart as me get better grades. Yet there's no way that one of those students can ever be better at math than me, because there's a difference between instantly understanding it and working hard ot figure it out.

~senor-freebie Aug 17, 2006 Professional Digital Artist

True that ... I didn't do Maths in year 12 because in Year 11 I was working all the algebra and complex calculations out in my head ... as I knew I'd need to do that in the future. Because I didn't show working out I was told that I failed even though I would repeatedly get the answers right. I was never instructed to do the working out. I think there was an assumption I cheated because perhaps the teacher couldn't do it herself. The crazy part is that I wasn't even interested in a good mark ... I just wanted to learn and they tried to stop me ... at a private school.

~ExtremeJordan Aug 18, 2006

lol, some people are just good learners. I actually just started 8th grade (one of the younger dA members), and so far (i.e. 4 days) we haven't really learned anything in math. Just out of curiosity, I flipped to the back of the math book (we're actually doing like 10th grade math) to see if I could do most of the problems, and yes, I can. So, at 13 years old, I can do 9th or 10th grade math without ever being taught it. Yet my grades last year sucked, because I was bored as hell in most of my classes.
