The Building Blocks of Life

Hello my comrades, my sincerest apologizes for the absence. I'm thinking of making an entry detailing my disappearance, but meh. Just know that this is how my brain works, jumping from one creative project to the next. Flighty? Perhaps, but without the promise of monetary or academic reward, I don't like being chained down by my own work.

So anyway, I was motivated to start a new post after reading this on Kotaku... (yes yes, two entries in a row where I've linked to the same site, I'll keep that to a minimum from now on)

How legit is this? Even if this fails to live up to the quality that Euclideon is promising, how can you not have immense respect for the resemblance that Point Cloud Data has to actual organic life in the real world? It's so breathtaking... the possibilities are absolutely awe inspiring!

What does it say about technology when it begins to render reality in the same way as the universe? This is way bigger than video games. Spiritual comes close to describing it, but that's not quite accurate.

Perhaps I'm being histrionic or abstract, but these implications are just far too fascinating. But, as for the actual uses, I suppose time will tell.

For some interesting perspective, you might find this interesting as well...
