The idea of an ordered and elegant universe is a lovely one. But you don’t need religion to appreciate the ordered existence. It’s not just an idea. It’s reality. We’re discovering the hidden orders of the universe every day. The inverse square law of gravitation is amazing. Fractals, the theory of relativity, the genome: these are magnificently beautiful constructs.

Facebook to Path

With the explosion in the number of smartphones in high schooler’s hands, the number of teenager users that are using mobile-only apps like Instagram and Oink are skyrocketing. For that reason, I expect a mass exodus of teens from Facebook to Path.

There are already early adopters from my school, and they are trying to spread the network as fast and to as many people as possible. And, as far as I can tell, it’s working. Since I looked last week, thirty people from my school have joined Path. That’s not a signifigant number in the overall scheme of things, but that means that there is a market for networks like these with teens.

Google+ could have been a contender with the teen market. But with Google’s repeated refusal to allow 13- to 18-year-olds into the beginning of the beta, they essentially killed their chances with teens.

I could also see some trouble with Path. The limit to 150 friends and lack of a desktop version will definitely shy people away. Yet I look forward to the time where I don’t even need to visit the increasingly terrible Facebook to catch up with friends.

SIRIUS XM’s BPM station played Kaskade’s excellent remix of Walking on a Dream by Empire of the Sun, and I just had to post it.

Mackie announced their DL1608 wireless iPad mixer a few days ago at NAMM. Not sure what’s going on with this rather… interesting… video, but that mixer looks so amazing.
