You can tell a lot about a society based on their currency, which often serves double duty as a kind of propaganda. However, some have hijacked it to promote their own ideals.

Corporate marketing sees highly viral ideas and tries to invent a few of their own, while some folks would like to protect them from being hijacked.

With a little deconstructing, it's easy to see why AYBABTU has become a truly sticky meme. You can find a decent history and an ongoing project of abuse derived from humorous quotes in the original game. To cause a mutation, get a used copy of Zero-Wing or alternatively an emulator ROM. Now you too can release phat tracks for local clubs in ambient, trance, industrial, one or two gabbers, pfunky, or just plain weird genres.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the re-release of The Exorcist coupled with the broadcast of a TV documentary called "Possessed" would create a new wave of reported demonic possessions. Elizabeth Loftus and other scientists at the University of Washington have done some fascinating research that indicates one should be wary of supposed repressed memories.

If you've been online long enough to remember the phrase "September Stupidity," it's likely you've been forwarded the Darwin Awards story of the speed-crazed man who strapped a JATO rocket to his car and met his untimely demise after underestimating the boost and smashing into the face of a canyon. Fact or urban legend? Alas, it's just a yarn - the history of the Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner-inspired meme is chronicled online.

When your belief system compels you to contradict dozens of established scientific facts, there are naturally plenty of things that will annoy you. Things Creationists Hate is a whimsical collection of biological and geological realities that fly in the face of those who insist the earth is 6000 years old.

Searching for music is not limited to finding MIDI or audio files tagged with the text of interest. Searching by example, aka "More Like This," is potentially a far more intuitive mechanism for retrieving content but is especially challenging in the audio domain. However, until MPEG has completed their specification MPEG-7 in 2001 July there will not be a standard mechanism for creating searchable multimedia files. Muscle Fish LLC is the 1992 offspring of four West Coast academics who chose to patent their sound classification scheme in 1997. The most technically interesting feature is a statistical distance metric computed on fairly well understood audio features used for speech recognition and synthesis. Along similar lines, Carnegie Mellon student Doug Beeferman developed a musical search algorithm that can index and retrieve find musically similar files encoded in MIDI on the web with QPD -- Query by Pitch Dynamics (detail).

Dan Lietha's comics tells us that evolution is a trojan meme from the evil Secular Media designed to corrupt good Christian children and that the Bible is only thing that stands between kids and school violence.

Don't let those pesky skeptics with their fancy-pants science books and empirical facts upset your faith - Christian Answers offers scientific-sounding justifications for creationism and other areas where the bible contradicts science.

I found the page of the Meme Factory, a software company, by not paying attention while trying to get to memepool.com. What I found there, though, was a very nice collection of memetics links.

As any student of anthropology knows, adolescence (the extended period of time between puberty and professional employment/marriage), is a peculiar by-product of modern Western culture. But plagued as we may be with the idiosyncratic problems associated with hosting a population of horomone-crazed jobless youths untethered by the civilizing institution of marriage, I remain skeptical of the campaign (driven, no doubt, by the powerful meme-machine of Judeo-Christian sexual repression) to dissuade young people from doing the obvious.

Sadly, most deliberate acts of memetic engineering spawn destructive ideas motivated by greed, hatred or fanaticism. That may be why it's such a delight to discover the benevolent infovirus from the host of generosity.org.

Cosma Shalizi uses snippets of Talking Heads lyrics for the titles of each section, so it has to be good. And it is, particularly the Codex HTML and the author's notebooks.

Do you have friends or family members who have recently been approached by somebody from Amway? Before they become meme-spouting drones trying to sign you up to buy overpriced soap, have them check out Amway: The Untold Story, particularly the eerie comparison between Amway and destructive cults.

Nick Szabo is one of my favorite heroic curmudgeons. Among his early work in Theoretical Applied Science I loved his work on comet mining and his frightening alarmist piece on green goo. Most famous is probably his work on Smart Contracts, but he has also written an introduction to algorithmic information theory and articles on hermeneutics, security architecture, and protocol design.
