Fourth of July Factoid

Without Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, Americans wouldn’t have the Declaration of Independence. Rather strangely, both men died on the same day, exactly fifty years after the signing of the Declaration - July 4, 1826.

Stephen Colbert Reads Joyce’s Ulysses

Every June 16 is Bloomsday, which commemorates Jame’s Joyce’s Ulysses (get free audio here). In Dublin and around the world, celebrations usually include a reading of Joyce’s classic. This year, in New York City, one high-profile event featured Stephen Colbert reading the part of Leopold Bloom, the character around which the sprawling novel turns. You [...]

Will Google Kill Science?

Not an obvious conclusion, I’ll agree. However, Chris Anderson, editor of Wired, presents the argument like this: as all sorts of data accumulate into a vast ocean of petabytes, our ability to synthesize it all into elegant theories and laws will disappear. The story is the cover of this month’s issue of Wired but I [...]

Seymour Hersh Reveals Covert Operations In Iran

A quick fyi: Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersch has a new piece in The New Yorker detailing “a major escalation of covert operations against Iran.” The plans drafted by the Bush administration and funded by Congress brings the US another step closer to a military strike against Iran’s nuclear program, and such a strike becomes [...]

Looking Inside Darwin’s Room (and Also Where Virginia Woolf, Lord Byron, & Kipling Did Their Thing)

Darwinmania (as The New York Times dubbed it) is about to begin. During the next year, we will celebrate Darwin’s 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the Origin of Species (download zip audio here) and the discovery of natural selection. It’s pretty much a given that the minutiae of Darwin’s life will get thoroughly [...]

Facebook To Open Source Facebook Platform

TechCrunch, a reputable technology blog, reports that "Sometime soon, perhaps this week, Facebook will turn the year-old Facebook Platform into an open source project, multiple sources have told us. The immediate effect will be to allow any social network to become Facebook Platform compatible - meaning application developers can easily take their Facebook applications and have them run on those social networks, too. This poses some interesting scenarios for Colleges and Universities that would… Continue

Spring Break

Spring Break is a great opportunity for a change of pace for students and teachers alike. For the first time, instead of catching up on work, I am going to enjoy a trip to Big Bend National Park in Texas. I am going with my son who is also a teacher. This presents us with a great opportunity to relax. No computers, e-mail, or phone calls; just a chance to enjoy nature. I am so looking forward to my first "real" Spring Break.

Fight Terror With YouTube

I read an interesting op-ed piece in the NY Times today about how web 2.0 has the potential to disrupt Al Qaeda’s use of media to propagate their message and recruit new members. In essence, web 2.0 is all about freedom, access to ideas, and discussion. When an organization, such as Al Qaeda, depends on their ability to suppress freedom and control ideas to succeed, it becomes obvious how the

I help set a world record by downloading Firefox 3: the greatest web browser

Check out this cool certificate I got from Firefox for helping them set a world record for the most downloads of a software app in one day. Firefox 3 is awesome and has tons of add-ons that you can download to make your browsing experience excellent. Plus, since it is open source, everything is free so don't worry about forking over tons of money. I think it is time for people to put their
