Stigmergy

"Other eusocial creatures, such as termites, use pheromones to build their complex nests by following a simple decentralized rule set. Each insect scoops up a 'mudball' or similar material from its environment, invests the ball with pheromones, and deposits it on the ground. Termites are attracted to their nestmates' pheromones and are therefore more likely to drop their own mudballs near their neighbors'. Over time this leads to the construction of pillars, arches, tunnels and chambers" - from the wikipedia entry for "stigmergy."

I'm not sure (nor do I care) if this has anything to do with anything (I haven't read the "link pile" assignment), besides the fact that a feel like a lot of us are from New Jersey (atleast 3 that I've seen, including myself). I thought my fellow New Jersians may find this interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/12/nyregion/12marijuana.html

There is actually a formula that calculated, based on all these different factors, that today is the most depressing day of the year. So the Brits have come up with a website to help you fight the case of the modays today lol. http://www.beatbluemonday.org.uk/
