Surfing on Entropy
Brian Eno: People tend to think that it's total control or no control. But the interesting place is in the middle of that.
Kevin Kelly: Right. We have no word for that state of in-between control. We have some words like "management," or "herding," or "husbandry." All these are words for co-control.
Brian Eno: I call it “surfing.” When you surf, there is a powerful complicated system, but you’re riding on it, you’re going somewhere on it, and you can make some choices about it.
Kevin Kelly: I think I know what you mean. Artificial life researchers talk about surfing the wave of increasing complexity. A very complex system gets close to a certain edge between rigid control and utter chaos - that’s when the whole thing can surf to the next level of complexity. They see this in evolutionary systems. Some go as far as to say that’s what life does: surf on entropy.

If you use both Firefox and Chrome
josh mohrer just discovered that you can drag tabs from Firefox to Chrome (though not in the other direction). Pretty cool! === Neat!
