Heather Gold asks geeks to use their powers for good and hack the vote to defeat prop 8, the DMarriageCAlifornia. Information wants to be free. So does marriage.

Moments from the celebrations in San Francisco on the day when the Supreme Court of California handed down it's decision that all Californians can marry, and that any discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is unconstitutional.

Scrambling with Scrabble, originally uploaded by subvert.com. Looks like your typical chat show doesn t it? This is everyone scrambling around as guest Jane McGonigal led the audience in a game with Scrabble letters. The conversation with Jane, author Kirk Read and everyone spurred by star beatboxer Kid Beyond s soul searching about his own work was awesome. Give it a listen. (about 90 minutes)

Listen to the mp3 of the entire show (90 min) Friday, April 13 2007. Perception: How does perception lead to knowing? How is life different for someone with coupled senses—someone who can literally taste words? Can we all change our world view and how often? Animator and creator of the Graffiti Archaeology Project, Cassidy Curtis (Shrek2, Madagascar) has colored-letter synesthesia (a neurological phenomena), draws pictures of math, and sneezes when exposed to bright sunlight. After a lifetime of performing, Cabaret and comic Enzo Lombardo-Quintero (Love, Humiliation Karaoke) began to go blind in his right eye in 2005. Magic Safire can make things appear to fly, appear and disappear (Nanjing Acrobatics Troupe s resident magician, Thirty Seconds of Fame). Allof these wonderful guests and of course you will join Heather to explore the ways we perceive the world and how this affects our understanding of truth. As a special treat, joining us in the audience to participate in the conversation will be scientist Brian Alvarez (UC Berkeley doctoral candidate in Cognitive Neuropsychology) and unique synesthete Colleen Silva who experiences anything that can be put in chronological in order in space around her as a mapped sensation in her body. How did you first realize that you see the world in a particular way?
