Pig-Nibbling Inside 11 Giant Imaginations: The Latest Glimpse of Glitch

Here is some video of Glitch–the new game that Flickr co-founder Stewart Butterfield is in the midst of creating from the Vancouver HQ of his Tiny Speck start-up. Butterfield showed me the latest iteration of the game, which takes place inside the minds of 11 giants. Including, oddly enough, a pig that will give up some meat if you nibble it, but walks merrily away after.

“Soggy Pork”: The Other White Meat

“Fifty years hence, we shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.” Winston Churchill made that prediction in 1932 and now, some 78 years later, it’s beginning to come true. Scientists in Holland have taken muscle cells from a living pig and cultured them into a “soggy form of pork” in the lab.
