One Truly Moving Presentation
Posted in Commentary, tagged Randomness, TED on February 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I’m not sure if I should refer to it as a presentation, talk, speech, or call to action, but Jill Tarter’s TED talk from earlier this month is truly inspiring. Whatever your feelings on SETI, this talk is so full of passion, so thoughtfully delivered, and drop dead elegantly designed, you really shouldn’t miss it. [...]

Perhaps sensing a void following a raft of bad economic news, Dilbert enters the scene with some needed comic relief. The ongoing ‘Dilbert works in collections’ series is great but, today’s takes the cake.

Days before the release of Kindle2, John Siracusa has a fascinating read on the past, present, and future of e-books. The once and future e-book: on reading in the digital age – Ars Technica.

Congrats to the Steelers who became the first team to secure their 6th Super Bowl title Sunday night.

But then there’s Steve… and this reflection from CNET of his interview with Rolling Stone back in 2003 a mere 8 [...]

The information they’ll be able to aggregate and analyze for patterns is huge. The API will open the door for [...]
