For some strange reason, there was a scotsman dressed up in tartan kilt, sporran, the full works, playing the bagpipes to a family gathering, inside the monument walkway, itself. His skill was such it was rather charming, but an odd moment and more than a tad surreal ...

a door mat with Japanese characters by nofrills

Sorry this one is blurred... I was in a crowd. This is the entrance of an "onigiri (rice-ball) restaurant" - no, I'm not kidding, this really exists - in Tokyo.

The banner is hang in a quirky way. They want to make you feel that this restaurant is "traditional", "very Japanese", "something we lost in our now-Westernised lives" and so on. If you are interested, take a look at this one from my archive (of the Museum of Traditional Rouge Making).

Thought and language by Isabel

He climbed and walked and climbed and walked and kept finding intriguing objects. He inspected each one of them curiously. He wished He could keep every new object in His mind, but it wasn't easy. The idea of naming things using some organized language crossed His thoughts, but He abandoned it at once: what would He need a language for if He didn't have any other creature to communicate with? (to be continued)

If you want to know how it all started, you can watch it here, but I wouldn't give a damn if I were you.

from life to language by Cesar Harada

I tried to clarify the relation between matter and language, from the original chemical components of life (as self-organisation) to the emergence of species, ethno-linguistic groups, programming languages. This cladogram draft permits me to map clearly the shortest path from matter to language (red line). Of all this complexity, interwoven histories, some simplicity should emerge...

The proximity of 2 elements on this tree also make the compatibility of the elements more obvious : compatibility of human and other mamals organ transfert, compatibility of 2 close-by computing syntaxes.

This cladogram is very simplified regarding the complexity of evolution, just a few branches out of the main path. I might continue this research here, feel free to advise me on this subject, if you know a software that does wonderful graphics of interwoven cladograms, I am interested.

research continues here :
