ABSTRACT
Estimating geographic information from an image is an excellent, difficult high-level computer vision problem whose time has come. The emergence of vast amounts of geographically-calibrated image data is a great reason for computer vision to start looking globally on the scale of the entire planet! In this paper, we propose a simple algorithm for estimating a distribution over geographic locations from a single image using a purely data-driven scene matching approach. For this task, we will leverage a dataset of over 6 million GPS-tagged images from the Internet. We represent the estimated image location as a probability distribution over the Earth's surface. We quantitatively evaluate our approach in several geolocation tasks and demonstrate encouraging performance (up to 30 times better than chance). We show that geolocation estimates can provide the basis for numerous other image understanding tasks such as population density estimation, land cover estimation or urban/rural classification.

Confident, but no longer cocky. Look for a video within two or three hours explaining all of this. HERE on youtube, first.
WOOPS! Forgot to add the damn lyrics! Sorry about the spelling errors, I was focused on the message.
An Open letter to Eminem.
Dear Marshall
I hope this isn't gonna be too harsh
but I MARCH
to the TUNE
Of the thoughts that you LOOM
With the method you LAy
and I PRAY
That some DAY
I can SAY
"See what I did there, that's Marshall's way"
he taught me to say
Why I'm feeling so gay
What I mean to say, is that I'm happy
Cause I'm slappy
With the rhythm
Of my thoughts
going crappy
Not to be sappy
But I heard what you said
And I bled
the wrong colors so long because my head's
been nappy
without a back-beat, Without the rhythm of my feet
Hitting pavement, Hearing statements
See where my head went?
I know you do that too.
Let me pay rent
With my head dent
The SCAR I got when I was a kid
Runnin to HARD and too FAR
into a TAble with a NAIL stiking out
Been there, done that
So maybe you know now that I've got some clout.
I've got the goddamn
A.D.D.
Mixed with the
O.C.D.
And like YOu,
I was FOOled
and in school
and at work
I was dribbling drool
Tryin to listen to the
teacher's boring ass fucking rules
See what I did there?
I can't help but curse a lot
at the world too
Not because of you
But because of their rules
Because they say
do this not that
And if you step out of line once
I've got a baseball bat
That's as fat as the cat
Sitting top of the pyramid like a brand new
grand Poop Czar
With the dick-shaped cigar
In his mouth and a car
That runs on dead dinoSAURS
And planes that soar
Over us peasants sitting in OUR cars
"Hey look at that, Dean! PEASANTS!"
But I need your help
That's what this shit's all about
Lend me a hand
I wasn't ever your biggest fan
Cause I didn't understand
But I've been where you are
and I want to be the band
Playing you the tune
Of the LOON that I know you are inside
You might be locked up,
I've got the keys in my stride.
I'm not holding ransom,
I just want your aid
And if you won't even help me
I'll still get paid
maybe not laid
cause I'm fat
Got the dick of a gnat
But I'm getting off topic
Gotta learn to control that
I'm going to bed with this shit in my head
And a notebook I bled onto
with a number two pencil
I'll sit by my phone
as long as I'm home
Till I go to Ralphs
and earn my fuckin own
Working 40 hour work weeks
Instead of EXPLOd-ing
I'll be in the deli unLOADING
deli sliced meat du-jour
Upon every hapless Houre(whore)
Untill I hear from ya.
Love and peace,
The name's Bohemia.
Recorded while wearing a bathrobe, because the loft apartment I'm living in doesn't have heat and my clothes are too dirty to wear in a video.

Google Tech Talks
June, 3 2008
ABSTRACT
Have you heard that Google wants to wire up the entire African continent?
Or that broadband will be ubiqitous throughout developing countries in ten years?
Or that poor kids with connected laptops will teach each other?
Or that the latest fiber optics cable being installed will lower Internet costs overnight?
Just like many other realms of human activity, access to information and communication is dramatically different between privileged people and the world's poor. Six out of seven people worldwide have no access to the Internet. It is important to have a realistic understanding of the manifold hurdles and constraints that face those who want to serve the bulk of humanity that is currently beyond the "World Wide" Web.
The WiderNet Project, a non-profit service program in the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Iowa, mixes practical research with capacity building activities to identify best practices in deploying ICT in developing countries. Over 4,000 people have been through their practical, hands-on training programs in sub-Saharan Africa. Their volunteers have provided over 1,200 refurbished computers and $1.5 million in hardware and software donations to partners across the continent. And they have developed an off-line digital library that contains over 1,200 Web sites and CD-ROMs (over ten millions documents) for those with little or no Internet connectivity.
Cliff Missen, the project director, will present information on the scale of the challenges and the three challenges of scaling technology to serve millions of people: computer face time, information access, and human capacity.
Speaker: Cliff Missen
Cliff has over 20 years professional experience in computers, networking, multimedia design, and applications development. At The WiderNet Project, he combines this with his long-term interest in international development. His first visit to Africa was with a medical team in 1982, and he continues to teach and promote appropriate water well drilling technology through the U.S. non--profit organization Wellspring Africa.

Short documentary movie based on the book of Rick Strassman, M.D. - DMT - The Spirit Molecule.
Rick Strassman was permitted to embark on the first human research with psychedelic, hallucinogenic, or entheogenic substances in the 1990s in the United States after 20 years' intermission in the field. In the intermission period it has only been legally possible to research on animals.
Strassman's studies investigated the effects of N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a powerful entheogen, or psychedelic, that he theorizes is a substance produced by the human brain in the pineal gland (without any conclusive proof), and an active ingredient in ayahuasca. Ayahuasca is any of the various psychoactive infusions or decoctions prepared from the Banisteriopsis spp. vine, native to the Amazon Rainforest (which is also called ayahuasca). The resulting drinks are pharmacologically complex and used for shamanic, folk-medicinal, and religious purposes. Occidental ethno-biologists have noted a variety of 200-300 plants used in the different brews made by the Ayahuasceras. It is an open question whether Ayahuasca should be noted as one particular shamanic medicinal brew, or that it should be noted as an entire medicinal tradition alongside, for instance, Ayurveda or Tibetan Medicine.
During the project's five years, he administered approximately 400 doses of DMT to 60 human volunteers. This research took place at the University of New Mexico's School of Medicine in Albuquerque, New Mexico where he was tenured Associate Professor of Psychiatry. Strassman has conjectured that when a person is approaching death, the pineal gland releases DMT, accounting for much of the imagery reported by survivors of near-death experiences.
Strassan wrote about the research program in his book DMT: The Sprit Molecule.

In this incredibly informal documentary as well as an actual filmed lecture we will al hear from many former highly intelligent Government employees, secret agency members, tope secret classified clearnace employess, and also many engineers for both NASA and all of the highly classified sects of the Worldwide government. The technology we have gained from the Extraterrestrial intelligence from the inner solar system and throughout the vastness of the entire visible/invisible cosmos. The Universe we live in as a aplae blue dot is just one in mnay, we all exist in an ocean of blackness just simply sailing upon a pale blue dot.
The entire "Disclosure Project" is an organization that was developed by the honorable Mr. Steven M. Greer and it includes over 400 military, government, and other fields of propulsion technological development for clandestine sects of the "shadow government" which is kept hidden away from the mainstream populace for so-called national security issues. This is an extraordinary documentary which covers all of the eye witness testimonies of all of these very credential individuals who have gathered the courage to come forward and testify in Congress about the secrets they have withhled under penalty of law from all of the mainstream public. Very heroic men and women speak the absolute truth about their work with this sector which branches off into many other highly secretive departments of the hidden satellite government. I urge all o fyou out there to go out and do your own individual homework and gather up all of the fruitful knowledge you can about the various subject matters discussed within the duration of this entire film.
Please visit and support the following website URL that I have provided below for all of you out there who watch this and are anxiously wanting to gain a more advanced education on all of the material covered. Also purchase the bokk by Mr. Steven M. Greer and the entire DVD as I have that is this entire film. VISIT AND SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING WEBSITE;
