This is a fascinating article about Feynman and the connection machine!
Speaking of computers, here is an article explaining Google's
filesystem that was kind of interesting. Not to be confused with
GMailFS that I plan on trying out (or a variant thereof, as I have some other email accounts with even more storage).
Staying with filesystems I may
upgrade my very full iPod should it show even the slightest hint of a disk issue (of course, I'll try and use a 1.8"
disk rather than a 3.5" one :-) )
Getting back to humans, here are
some more things of interest from the
Guy who brought us the
10/20/30 rule. I'm very interested in understanding VC's and their thinking style at the moment :-)
By the way, I just discovered
PubSub which creates an RSS feed out of your keywords by searching all the things that it subscribes to. This seems to me to be similar to having a google query execute continously! That, it seems to me, is pretty powerful...
Finally, a very random link: try entering "salad fingers" into
google video and watching the resulting cartoons (by
fat-pie). Not for the fainthearted, but somewhat entertaining even if it is the product of a warped mind.
Today's post was brought to you with a day off work, several glasses of red wine, and BBC
radio 1's "Fabio and Grooverider".
