A proposal for a field theory to understand the communication of bees. The researcher proposes a link to Quantum mechanics. Ok, unexpected.

I have had several conversations lately around a Sun research paper that I read. I keep thinking I will get around to posting a summary and some thoughts but work intrudes.At a minimum I will post the link for now. The paper is Mashware: The Future of Web Applications and is at least the second paper I have seen from Antero Taivalsaari. Andy or Bruce, I would love to hear what you think about

During Christmas 2007, the wife and I escaped to the Grand Canyon for two days. Throwing caution to the wind, we went for hotel rooms when the sun went down. The hotel rooms were booked solid at the entrance to the park and the rooms inside the park were pretty spendy. This is in the middle of winter!The unplanned search forced us back to Williams AZ about 60 miles away. Williams turned out

One of my favorite scenic places in Europe is Chamonix, France. I was lucky enough to spend a few days exploring it a few years ago and I remember two events fondly:-- the cable car ride and walk around Aguille du Midi-- the train ride between France and Switzerland over the mountainsThanks to the wonders of You Tube, I can share them here. Let me know if they disappear from You Tube, I have

I have a friend who is a history teacher here in Minnesota and she has been a pasionate advocate for oral history and its power. While she has opened my eyes to this field, I have never really sought it out in the IT realm. On a whim I did some searching the other day and was pleasantly surprised to find the Charles Babbage Institute (CBI) and:1) it is an IT oral history repository2) many

Ran across this item on MS research site and was intrigued."This directory contains a set of 1.3K questions collected from 10-13 year old schoolchildren, who were asked 'If you could talk to an encyclopedia, what would you ask it?' Children wrote their questions on slips of paper, and these questions were then keyed in/spell-corrected. A research librarian then spent several months combing

I was looking through MS research site and found these two resources that have to do with digital photogrpahy (I think) and I was curious what a "real" photographer (read not me) would think of them.Mark, if you are reading this would either of these titles entice you to download these and try them ;)Continuous FlashMS Easy Camera Calibration Tool

I own a Mirra M-250 personal server. I originally purchased the device to serve as an easy backup solution for part of my home network. One day it was replaced with another solution and I set the Mirra on a shelf. I took it down today with the intention of converting it into a small Linux box for the lab.DISCLAIMERNo warranties, either express or implied, are hereby given for anything provided by
