Step Up to Wireless Networking

Step Up to Wireless Networking. Just an article I was looking for about setting up a small business wireless network.

I, Robot. I, like this.

Scott Rosenberg's commentary not only sums up the NYT editorial about why the book was so good, but nails the relationship to user interfaces. Excellent and to the point.

An Atlas of Cyberspaces - Topology Maps

An Atlas of Cyberspaces - Topology Maps This is very cool.

Microsoft TechNet: Structure of the Internet and the Web

Microsoft TechNet: Structure of the Internet and the Web This is just a link I wanted to keep for personal use.

Groove Networks

Now this is something that just may be useful, but it all seems a little to creepy. Once I read more, I'll (maybe) post more. Generally, it looks somewhat interesting. I wonder how it integrates with blogs . . .

Electronic Election 2004

This is funny in a sort of Dilbert way: Electronic Election 2004. Funny, but a little too close to reality.

Free Textbook

This is a list of Current Papers and Brief Summaries, which includes a complete textbook written by a professor for use in his class. I remember the overpriced crap I had to buy when I was in college. This may not be better than the others, but it is certainly cheaper.

I bet Cisco sues him for copyright infringement . . .

Google Conquers E-Mail

Honestly, I think this hits it on the head. Gmail is really quite remarkable.

java.blogs

I just wanted to be sure that I kept this link somewhere handy. This blog is really becoming my personal knowledge store. And then there is this guy.

XP and RUP

I just found this paper that merges RUP and XP. Folks at my company generally believe that it has to be one or the other. Maybe not.

A Good overview of Content Management Systems

I always find this topic to be large and unwieldy, especially when talking to people that really have no background in it. This article provides a pretty good overview and, potentially, some context within which one may be able to have a useful discussion with those less immersed than others.

The New York Times > Technology > Circuits > For Some, the Blogging Never Stops

This is interesting. I think I know a few people like this and even one that shares a name, "They blog openly or sometimes, like Mr. Wiggins, quietly so as not to call attention to their habit." I think there is a distinct lack of readership of blogs. For me, I've mostly started to use mine as a place to store interesting links that I may need to come back to later on. The default taxonomy that blogs use is simply a calendar which you can then contextualize with comments and ramblings such as this. Instead of a forum for others to read, it becomes my public cognitive artifact.

I can (and do) use other taxonomies to store links and interesting peices of information, but none seem quite so portable as this.

Kerry Gets Google-Bombed

Wired News: Kerry Gets Google-Bombed
Superb. And Bush does too. And neither one has a single clue about what it means, what the effect is, or anything. Both sides have the position: "if they do it, that is wrong. If our folks do it, that is just the nature of democracy and the internet."

I think it is the latter. Next election, they will have really figured out what to do with this. Of course, everything will have changed by then.

I think the government should be run by blogs.

Yahoo! News - Universe Measured: We're 156 Billion Light-years Wide!

I love this tidbit of information. Stated with so much assurance and so much room for error. And I love this quote.
Yahoo! News - Universe Measured: We're 156 Billion Light-years Wide!: "'If the universe was finite, and had a size of about 4 billion to 5 billion light-years, then light would be able to wrap around the universe, and with a big enough telescope we could view the Earth just after it solidified and when the first life formed,' Cornish said. 'Unfortunately, our results rule out this tantalizing possibility.'"

Don't even think about speeding in Italy

They will catch you! I'd like to see the Cops episode where they use this car to bump some people off the road or throw the perp over the hood for frisking. Do NOT scratch the paint

Cold Turkey

Kurt Vonnegut is a most excellent writer and a very interesting thinker. I cannot truly vouch for the fact that this (Cold Turkey) article is his, since the whole commencement speech event, but it is very interesting. I'd like to argue against what seems a very pessimistic POV on humans, but then I'm not 81 with that perspective. Anyhow, read and think.

LauraJ's Weblog

I have been desperately looking for some information about getting the alerts to work correctly in Sharepoint and ran across LauraJ's Weblog. It didn't have the information that I was looking for, but it is a good blog with what looks like some good information.

Saint Anxieti of Malta

I think a very good friend of mine just might be the Patron Saint Anxieti of Malta.

E-mail Post

Thought I'd try the new feature, just to see how it feels. Here is a link about people hoping for an earthquake.
