• Lessig on Free Culture

    I just got done witnessing my first presentation by Larry Lessig. That was really quite interesting. Not only was the topic engaging, and the commentary insightful, but the format of his presentation was great. I had seen posts about the “Lessig Style” of presentation before, but hearing about it is... [Read More]
  • Mostly Lisp Blog

    I ran across the blog LEMONODOR, which has lots of info about the Lisp programming lanauge. Most of it is stuff I imagine I would never run across otherwise, and I have been trying to learn Scheme well enough that I can use LispME on my Palm to do small... [Read More]
  • Gordon Bell Tonight

    A reminder to those in the Silicon Valley area, Gordon Bell is speaking at PARC tonight about a project to catalog and search enable all aspects of his life. Sounds pretty cool.
  • Implications of Increased Mobile Storage

    An article over at The Feature talks about some of the implications of storage getting larger in capacity and smaller in size and power consumption.

  • WaveBlog

    Russell posted info about WaveBlog today. This is the first I’m hearing about the company and the product line, but it’s an area that I’ve been watching intently for a long time. I think the technology is right on the money. Attaching blog updates to places and being able to... [Read More]
  • Busy

    Hello all. Sorry there haven’t been many updates in the last few days. I’ve been completely overwhelmed and haven’t even really had time to read news, let alone write up anything of interest. This will probably keep up for a few days at least.
  • Some More Clustering Tools

    A Linux Gazette article about Hybrid Clusters mentions a couple of cool tools that I didn’t know about. In particular, the DRBD package looks great. In the past few weeks I’ve run across Clustered JDBC for the first time as well. c-jdbc looks like a great package, but applies only... [Read More]
