If you want to do machine vision using a camcorder on linux, consider starting with dvgrab-shell.

Empirically trained orientation detector
Orientation maps can be constructed efficiently based on prior experience, rather than mathematical models -- see the orientation look-up table.

I'd like to be able to communicate with aliens over great distances. Until Google solves this problem nicely, I'm working on a cosmic OS.

Unless gates
Here is a simple javascript unless gate simulator.

I'd like to be know whether people are intrinsically good or bad. Until Google solves this problem nicely, you can judge.

Cooperative Directory
A listing of enlightened organizations.

Compagniit
Fun people in Genoa, Italy.
