    Posted on April 25, 2004

    There’s an entry at Lambda the Ultimate pointing to notes from a talk given by Stephen Wolfram. I’m just skimming through it myself, so I’m not sure where it eventually ends up :-) But even just some of the information on the first page is worth mention. Almost immediately he... [Read More]

  • UW Calendar

    Posted on April 24, 2004

    I saw this linked off of Hack the Planet, an online calendaring system called UW Calendar. It provides for multiple calendars aggregated into a single feed, and is meant to feed data out to all sorts of systems (open source, open standards, yay!!). I need to write a palm application...

  • Jaron Lanier On The McLuhan Ramp

    Posted on April 24, 2004

    I went to the presentation by Jaron Lanier yesterday and it was very interesting. This Future Salon thing is pretty cool, I’ll definitely go to more of them. The main thrust of the talk was that there are lots of different “ramps” which people can use to judge progress. There’s... [Read More]

  • Touch This

    Posted on April 22, 2004

    Here’s an interesting article about researchers using touch to convey text messages. An interesting concept. They call it “tactile melody”. I would have called it braille. Even though they apparently want to use different movements of pins than the letter combinations used by braille. They probably figure they can convey... [Read More]

    SmartMobs reports on a free (and soon to be open source) urban social landscapes tool. The tool is a release from Intel, available as J2ME using MIDP but soon to be open source. Based on the info page the sensing pattern seems to be based on Bluetooth. Very interesting. Here’s... [Read More]

  • Blogroll

    Posted on April 21, 2004

    I’ve been trying to figure out how to include a blogroll version of the site without always putting a big long list my blog all the time. Having a list of users whose blogs you normally read is nice to do because the people who are receiving your readership can... [Read More]
