Oh yes... wow, I just really do not get twitter... I do get it, but its just so fascinating as a media and medium in which to communicate. I can and cannot believe that they are using this as a way to discuss things in the government. It's like watching Obama surf with his shirt off. It's just mind boggling...

Dr. Greenberg-

I did get your comment on the "space lady." Thanks.

I can show some of those web comics sites to the Aesthetics class... although most of the people in that class have already seen them, I think!

Dr. Greenberg, yes, I finally saw your comment on my Diane Cibrian Post. And then I saw the one you posted today, realizing I hadn't been paying attention to my comments. Sorry.

Stolen from someone else's blog!!!! (is this ethical or normal on the net?)

Wikipedia links used to build smart reading lists - tech - 02 January 2007 - New Scientist Tech Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 From the “so cool it is uncanny” department… Software that generates a list of reading material tailored to a person’s individual interests has been developed by a PhD student in the US. Alexander Wissner-Gross, a physics student at Harvard University, teaches a course to under-graduates student at his university. While preparing the reading list for his course, he began to wonder about ways to automate the process. (Check out his paper about this topic.) Wissner-Gross says he saw similarities between the structure of his course and the way information is connected via links in Wikipedia, a free online encyclopaedia written and edited by volunteers. “Increasingly, a net user who wants to learn more about a subject will read its Wikipedia page,” he adds. “However, for further depth in the subject, there has been no system for advising the user which other [Wikipedia] articles to read, and in which order.” Wikipedia links used to build smart reading lists - tech - 02 January 2007 - New Scientist Tech Just One More Thiing the government's been hiding from us Duncan Mansfield reports for The Associated Press, "A three-year veil of secrecy in the name of national security was used to keep the public in the dark about the handling of highly enriched uranium at a nuclear fuel processing plant - including a leak that could have caused a deadly, uncontrolled nuclear reaction."
