Science fiction writer Rudy Rucker, author of the book, Mathematicians In Love, claims that any natural process can be regarded as a computation, and that computers are not "digital."
Official Launch: 10ZM.TV
One of the reasons for the "video apology" term in the settlement agreement with Michael Crook is that we were already planning to launch a video property. Having Crook's apology in video seemed an appropriate format, and its wide viewing would help get some visibility for this new effort. We figure he owed us that much.
There are a few things we're going to experiment with in the show, called 10ZM.TV, and hosted on the Blip.tv video sharing network. First, we'll be collecting video commentary from web figures on stories and themes we explore on our various other properties, such as this site, The RU Sirius Show, NeoFiles, Destinyland and Pastor Jack. Second, we'll record bits from our own writers and commentators. And finally, we're going to publish hot little bits from the continuous series of mind-blowing interviews conducted by RU Sirius.
Rudy Rucker's interview is the first one we videotaped, so you'll see several clips from that in the coming weeks.

Dear 10ZM,
I have been using the handle ZEN Monkey (which is a play on me being a zen monk) for at least 2 years now on Battlefield 1942.
I’m interested in how you came up with the name 10 zen monkeys, it was funny when I stumbled upon this website via a link and found my handle used on a title. I’m not mad about it or anything, just curious as to what was your inspiration.
it just popped into my already monkey-obsessed brain one night. i think i may have been somewhat high.
Everyone loves monkeys! A friend of mine has taomonkey.com for his artwork. I used a picture of a drunk monkey on my website, and soon after that, tons of kids were hot linking the image on their myspace pages. It’s now the 3rd image that comes up under a google image search for “drunk moneky.” =]
Ah yes, the power of monkeys.
Anyway, I’ve been getting into subscribing to video feeds with Democracy TV lately, so i look forward to seeing your stuff…
