global consciousness project on peace-at-least blog

I don't know much about the Global Consciousness Project (therefore, I don't have much of an opinion about it, either—my opinion is pretty neutral so far), but I'd like to know more about it, so I'm going to store some resources on here for easy access.

dot meaning via noosphere.princeton.edu:

• Dark blue: Significantly small network variance. Suggestive of deeply shared, internally motivated group focus. The index is above 95%
• Light blue: Small network variance. Probably chance fluctuation. The index is between 90% and 95%
• Green: Normally random network variance. This is average or expected behavior. The index is between 40% and 90%
• Yellow: Slightly increased network variance. Probably chance fluctuation. The index is between 10% and 40%
• Orange: Strongly increased network variance. May be chance fluctuation, with the index between 5% and 10%
• Red: Significantly large network variance. Suggests broadly shared coherence of thought and emotion. The index is less than 5%

[Also via noosphere.princeton.edu] These colors can fade between each other so it's possible to have, for example, yellow-orange-ish and green-yellow-ish colors. Please don't strongly interpret the dot!
