With the push of an iThing it looked like ePub was the format to aim for. It is after all, a standard […]
Sometimes you have trips with very well defined and choreographed itineraries, where you know what is/should be happening down to some overly detailed level of detail. This week has not been one of those, it’s been more of going with the flow. And that’s ok. A planned trip to visit friends in Monterey was built […]
I’m really excited to be making my first trip ever to London next month (too late to meet up with Scott or Brian) for a few days of NMC meetings. I have set aside a few extra days to be a tour dog. But I am a total n00b in my London knowledge– so I […]
If I was teaching a class in logic, I would frequently use the Chronicle of Higher Education as a rich resource– of faulty logic. Hardly a day passes in the feed reader without some preaching headline that one cannot get from point A to B without a psychic leap of thinking. Try this one on. […]

Writing these means have to remember the structure, but […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by Duncan Kinney Oh what a tangled blog I weave mangle. I thought it would take a few posts and days to document the work I started in April to use the then beta features of WordPress 3 to develop the NMC’s MIDEA web site. And just trying to write […]
After a bunch of lead weight code riddled posts, let’s lighten it up. I can always count on GraphJam for some laughs, but also for the clever ways people find to represent ideas, thoughts, jokes, in graph form. Yes, when I was a kid, Pluto was a planet, but scientists have kicked the cold rock […]
