Also in MCA Hogarth’s Livejournal entry is a commenter who brings up the neotony as a possible cause for the appearance of anime-style animation.

Direct offshoots form the Neotony article that I haven’t had a chance to get into yet:
[Female] Physical Attractiveness
Averageness

It’s been a while since I’ve really posted much of anything, but today’s trail of breadcrumbs has lead me through a number of interesting Wikipedia articles that I’d like to keep track of for more in-depth reading (and more breadcrumbing :) ) later.

Today’s trail started at MCA Hogarth’s LiveJournal entry here, wherein she mentions the term “uncanny valley.” And from there to Wikipedia.

Direct offshoots from the Uncanny Valley article that I haven’t had a chance to get into yet:
The Uncanny
The Polar Express
Humanoid Robot

Ran across this blog through Matthew Ingram’s article on Wordpress’ Prologue theme (yeah, still looking for ways to tweak the Prologue functionality). Looks interesting. I’ll probably check it out a little more later.

It all started here, at Judge A Book By Its Cover…and just went downhill from there.
The breadcrumb trail began via this article, and and held my attention like some bizarre galactic train wreck for the rest of the evening. See the rest of today’s links for the progression.
