Homebrew for DS


For anyone who has a modded Nintendo DS here is a list of Homebrew apps (courtesy of Craig).

Homebrew:

Beup - MSN Messenger client for DS.

DSOrganize - Kind of like a PDA app. Features: Calendar, Day Planner, Address Book, Web Browser, File Browser, Ability to download homebrew and demos via WiFi straight to your card, To-Do List, Scribble Pad, Calculator, and IRC Client.

DS Notes - Designed to provide a way to quickly jot down and save notes or small sketches. The program has been designed for lightning-quick saving, browsing, and loading of notes (stored as black and white bitmaps, each only 6kb in size).

Colours - It's an app that uses the DS touch-screen and it becomes a perfect portable digital sketch-book. You can then email your image to anyone you'd like, straight from your DS :)

DSMIDI - Turns your DS into a MIDI keyboard for creating music.

NitroTracker - Music making app for the DS.

Pocket Physics - Game/App...really fun :)

You should take a look around this site too, has lots of homebrew apps and stuff.

Dreams: Night School


This is a great article about why we dream.

Here are a few good lines from the article:
(They are best read in the context and flow of the entire article)

"Dreams, he contends, are a training ground in which animals and people alike go over the behaviors that are key to their survival."

"Revonsuo believes that by providing rehearsal, dreaming helps us recognize dangers more quickly and respond more efficiently. We don't need to be aware of this rehearsal, just as you don't have to recall exactly where you practiced your tennis serve in order to reap the rewards.

"The single most pervasive theme in dreaming is that of being chased or attacked. Just as athletes in training repeat parts of their performance, we may, in our nightmares, be attacked and chased over and over again, not to solve a particular problem but to actually practice efficient escape behavior."

"The dreaming brain, explains Revonsuo, scans emotional memories. When it detects a memory trace with a strong negative emotion, it constructs a nightmare around that theme. The more traumatic the event, the more intense the nightmare. The brain's system for detecting threats is sensitive and flexible: Anything the brain tags with a strong negative charge gets thrown into the threat bin and dredged up at night."

"If dreams evolved to simulate the threats in our environment, then being exposed to more dangers in real life should activate the nightmare function, overstuffing our dreams with threats. This is precisely what happens. Even a single exposure to a life-threatening situation can plunge a person into an inferno of post-traumatic nightmares, dreams in which the threatening event—the attack, the rape, the war—is repeated over and over in every possible variation."
