		<description><![CDATA[A colleague pointed me at this video by OK Go. I watched it through all the way, and have to admit: this is some amazing Rube Goldbergness.


Awesomeness.

		<description><![CDATA[I admit it, I picked up a funny domain name.
Allegheny College has a Freshman Seminar series where students engage in writing and speaking exercises that explore a subject in the context of the liberal arts. Darren Miller (Art faculty) and I linked our seminars (mine is titled Technology and Activism, his is Art and Activism) [...]]]></description>

		<title>plumbing is released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



      The concurrency.cc logo



I am excited to announce the release of Plumbing, software and documentation to support artists and makers in the programming of low-cost, open-hardware
platforms like the Arduino. The Plumbing libraries are a collection of parallel components written in occam-pi , a small language with a long history.
Last summer, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I gave an introduction in Technology and Activism the other day to the Creative Commons. In that introduction, we (briefly) explored two thought problems:
[ music ] How long until you can own every song ever written? My first question had to do with music. If $60 buys a 500GB hard drive, you can put one [...]]]></description>

		<title>the &#8220;no asshole rule&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Peter Klein over at Organizations and Markets wonders aloud:

It’s easy to come up with examples of organizations run by jerks that failed, but do we have systematic empirical evidence that nice-guy firms finish first? Do the marginal costs of costs of placing rude, self-centered people in management positions outweigh the marginal benefits?

It is likely that [...]]]></description>

		<title>my entire library</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m eager to see anyone release a full-sized (US Letter / A4) ebook reader. The Sprint Skiff is promising, and may appear shortly. It looks like an 11.5&#8243; diagonal with roughly 3GB of internal storage available, and expansion through SD cards.


Along with the large screen, it looks far lighter and portable than any laptop I [...]]]></description>

		<title>knuth&#8217;s charge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the preface to The Art of Computer Programming (1969), Knuth wrote the following:


I would posit that the vast majority of students who complete an introduction to Computer Science (often heavily focused on introducing the practice of programming) would not say that they felt they had been exposed to &#8220;an aesthetic experience much like composing [...]]]></description>

		<title>again: qualitative research is good research</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greg Wilson recently posted about student learning, specifically with respect to studying from their own lecture notes. He received some advice from Brock MacDonald at the Writing Centre at Woodsworth College. Brock gave Greg some very bad advice about qualitative research, based on what Greg passed on in his blog (emphasis mine). Here&#8217;s some of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Natural Parenting
\
Yeah, that&#8217;s roughly how it works.
To be clear, #2 is not on the way. That is not what I&#8217;m saying.
But frames one, two, and three roughly capture our parenting experience so far.

		<description><![CDATA[Omer passed on this picture:

That is a concurrency.cc Arduino-compatible board fired up and ready to go. As you can see, the vias aren&#8217;t really lined up that well, which may account for some intermittent USB-to-serial weirdness that he is chasing down at the moment.
Awesome job, Omer! If all goes well, I think we&#8217;ll have around [...]]]></description>
