“Scientists have for the first time found powerful evidence that genius may be linked with madness. Speculation that the two may be related dates back millennia, and can be found in the writings of Aristotle, Plato and Socrates. Aristotle once claimed that “there is no great genius without a mixture of madness”, but the scientific evidence for an association has been weak – until now. A study of more than 700,000 adults showed that those who scored top grades at school were four times more likely to develop bipolar disorder than those with average grades.” Hold Your Horses - 70 Million (via patozao) “ Clip de 70 Million, chanson du groupe franco-americain Hold Your Horses ! produit par L’Ogre, mettant en scène les membres du groupe dans un voyage à travers l’histoire de l’art.” I especially enjoyed their interpretation of David’s Marat Assassiné.

Alex AinslieHi, I'm currently studying at Cornell University in the College of Arts and Sciences, finishing an independent BA in Computing, Cognition, and Aesthetics and an MEng in Computer Science. I have spent the past three summers at Google working on mobile maps and gmail, suggest, query refinements, social search, and most recently goggles and mobile local search. This site was born as a personal photo journal during a semester spent abroad in Paris and has evolved into a curated collection of links, code, videos, music, text, and images.
