neural networks, infomorphs, B-Corps, normalcy, weirding. more random connections to figure out.

A [neural network computer at Google X Labs](http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/26/technology/in-a-big-network-of-computers-evidence-of-machine-learning.html?_r=4&pagewanted=all) that “basically invented the concept of a cat” algorithmically. [Weavrs](http://weavrs.com), infomorphs that can put together slide decks semi-autonomously, among [many other things](http://prosthetics.weavrs.com/). The [IoT Bill of Rights draft](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yZAsNaesDocqqtkFgucbFS_zE4tDP1Jsfszsvls7Yuc/edit). [B-Corps](http://www.bcorporation.net/). The [Manufactured Normalcy Field](http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2012/05/09/welcome-to-the-future-nauseous/) and this Foo session’s [notion](http://www.flickr.com/photos/unavoidablegrain/7355512520/) of [normalizing vs weirding](http://urbanhonking.com/ideasfordozens/2012/06/24/designing-for-and-against-the-manufactured-normalcy-field/) things.
