rosnfeld | Shared With: Everyone - Nov 15 2006 | crabs, seafood, norway, travelAs much as this may seemingly go against my earlier post, I think we need to move now to stop this ecological menace. It's going to be like Starship Troopers - who's with me?
Quoted: An army of red monsters is marching west from Russia. They have eight legs, and huge claws, and they grow up to 6ft wide. They’ll eat anything they can catch. There are 10 million of them, and they’re multiplying rapidly.

Some interesting short talks by some of the most popular authors and speakers of the last few years.
Quoted: TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is an invitation-only event where the world's leading thinkers and doers gather to find inspiration. Initially an annual conference, the scope of TED has expanded to include a bi-annual global conference, a humanitarian prize, and free audio/video podcasts of extraordinary talks.

Anybody read this? Looks interesting... talking about systems development in the 70's. Perhaps in a similar vein to "The Mythical Man-Month" but with more narrative?
Quoted: Amazon.com: The Soul Of A New Machine: Books: Tracy Kidder by Tracy Kidder

Fortran, B in BNF...

Jim Gray is missing! I remember a talk he gave on storage technology in 2000-2001... one of the more memorable ones I attended.
Quoted: The Coast Guard searched the waters off Northern California on Wednesday for an award-winning computer scientist missing since a weekend sailing trip to scatter his mother's ashes at sea.

With a title like that, how could I refuse? A little Alton-Brown-esque.

An older article from the NY Times fashion pages about the author of "Stumbling on Happiness".
Quoted: For the happiness research Daniel Gilbert, the greatest luxury is an utter lack of fashion imagination: cargo pants from Costco.

This has been one of the more interesting currency trades for me over the last couple of years... although to most people it's probably like watching paint peel. I still read almost every story on the topic... almost missed this one!
Quoted: In the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, visitors from neighboring Hong Kong are not nearly as popular as they used to be.

Not sure what side I come down on.
One thing that surprised me was how *little* money is reportedly going into these startups... $455 million of venture capital in the first 9 months of 2006? There are *tons* of Web 2.0 companies, so either they're not getting funded by VC's, or not getting/taking much from them. I realize that it's cheap to start a lot of these companies, but it takes money to grow them... hrm.

YES. Glad to know I wasn't imagining this...

A lot of classic Capitol Hill hangouts are slated to close... looks like developers may destroy the neighbourhood they are trying to cash in on.
