  • Stange Behavior of Cellular Automaton

    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]

    I saw this linked off of Hack the Planet, an online calendaring system called UW Calendar.

  • Jaron Lanier On The McLuhan Ramp

    Posted on April 24, 2004

    After seeing the interview with Ward Cunningham linked to from a post in Many2Many I started wandering through the archives of the luvly mailing list. There’s some great stuff in there.

  • 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]

    Posted on April 21, 2004

    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]
