First, NASA furnishes a fabulous tutorial about the big bang theory and the evolution of the universe (1). Visitors can discover the foundation of the big bang theory, the observational tests, and the limitations and extensions of the theory. The second website, developed by Maxine Phaisalakani at the University of Toronto, introduces in a slide show presentation research that led to the discovery of the expansion of the universe (2). The site addresses many astronomical concepts including the big bang theory, dark matter, and the Doppler Effect. Next, The Online Journey Through Astronomy offers educational materials about studies leading to the discoveries of distant galaxies and the expansion of the universe (3). The website supplies two short animations illustrating the formation of the universe. The fourth site, created by PhysicalGeography.net, provides an online chapter about the past, present, and future of the universe (4). Students and educators can find links to a useful glossary and a list of additional readings. Next, PBS presents a timeline of the universe from the Big Bang to the future (5). This interactive website offers concise introductions to many of the key developments of the universe including the formation of elements, the earliest life forms, and the dark era. At the next site, the physicist, Patricia Schwarz, presents numerous animations, illustrations, and text dealing with the Big Bang Theory (6). Users can learn about the observations and knowledge that provide the framework for the theory. Next, Meta Research discusses hypotheses and assumptions about the big bang theory and the expansion of the universe (7). Visitors can find out why some scientists have qualms with the theorized phenomenon. Lastly, CNN provides an article about a group of Australian scientists' findings of a new string of galaxies that could challenge the big bang theory (8). Visitors can learn how scientists use computer simulation models to test astronomical theories.

Java is Mature

Java is Mature 01/18/2004 12:23 AM

Java is a mature proven language for non-GUI applications.  What it means is that it does what you expect it to and there is a large body of open source software you can leverage.  Carlos E. Perez's enumeration of Open Source Web Crawlers Written in Java is a good example.

C# and .NET, on the other hand, has a long way to go still and there is no easy to extend IDE like Eclipse for developers to rally around.  Working with .NET at this point is like working in a new town destined to grow, maybe like Chicago was around 1840.  As for my involvement with .NET, I enjoy the rough life.

A More Mature Microsoft 07/23/2004 01:08 AM
Microsoft's surprise announcement Tuesday that it would share about $75 billion with stockholders over four years has investors and analysts wondering if the world's largest software company is still a growth company. If it is, they want to know what's going to drive that future growth, at a time when the PC market where its Windows and Office products dominate has been slowing, and a major new release of Windows, called Longhorn, is widely seen as delayed until 2007.

This Topic in Depth presents the science and research of galaxies. First, the University of Cambridge offers clear, logical descriptions and images of the Milky Way, spiral and elliptical galaxies, clusters, and dark matter of the Universe (1). Users can also find educational tutorials on many other cosmology topics. Next, the Space Telescope Science Institute's "Galaxies Galore, Games and More is a learning module designed to allow elementary students to use their observational skills, recognize patterns, and learn how galaxies are classified" (2). Through the fun, interactive materials, students can learn about spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies. The third website, developed by NASA, introduces students to Seyfert Galaxies, quasars, and blazars (3). Visitors can find cool facts about the topic, quizzes, an advanced-level article on galaxies and pulsars, and additional resources. Next, Professor Bill Keel at Leiden University and the University of Alabama supplies graduate level virtual lectures on the topic of extragalactic astronomy (4). While the website is only updated to the most recent class he taught (Spring of 2003), the wealth of high-quality information offered on topics such as star formation, environmental effects on galaxies, and galaxy interactions and mergers makes it worth the visit. The fifth website, produced by the Jodrell Bank Observatory, is "an electronic publication dedicated to the observations and theory of active galaxies" (5). The newsletter promotes new papers, conferences, dissertations, employment opportunities, and more. Sixth, the Science Museum of Virginia educates users about the differences among galaxies through a series of images and clear text (6). Visitors can view images collected by the Hubble telescope and can test their skills at classifying galaxies. The seventh website, produced by National Academy of Engineering member Edward Barlow, presents concepts of general relativity and the new developments and tools used to study galaxies and other cosmological phenomena (7). The complex materials offer great examples of how models are used to help scientists understand facets of the universe. Lastly, Wikipedia offers concise explanations of the characteristics of galaxies, their history, and etymology (8). Throughout the text, visitors can find links to more information on the concepts discussed. This has been added to Astronomy Resources Subject Tracer&ttrade; Information Blog.

There's a remake of Logan's Run (1976) in the works. From the plot outline at IMDB it'd appear that in 2005 you are too old when you are 21 rather than 30 as it was in 1976.

Star Wars Galaxies economy laid bare

Star Wars Galaxies economy laid bare 05/03/2004 12:13 PM
Raph Koster, Supreme Dictator of the Star Wars Galaxies online game, has posted detailed stats about the SWG monetary supply and flow. Ted Castronova, the leading MMO economist in the (very small) field, says "So rather than say that something is wrong from an economic policy point of view - I don't know that, hell, an army of Stanford Nobel laureates can't know that, not yet - all I can say is that something in these numbers makes me uncomfortable."

SWG uses what is called a faucet-drain economy. You can visualize a spigot of cash coming into the game, a big ol' sink where the money sloshes around, and a set of drains where the money goes out the bottom. When money comes in from the faucet, it's actually being "minted" - it's being created by the game system. The sink is basically the whole game. It's the bank accounts, the player inventories, all the money that is used for trades and transactions among players, etc. When money goes out the bottom, it's deleted from the system, rather than circulating back to a central bank.

(Credits aren't the only thing that is generated, of course - a significant faucet into the game economy actually comes in the form of resource mining. Since the amount of money and the amount of resources coming into the game at a time both vary, you get small fluctuations in the price of resources as the value of both the resources and the currency changes. Plus, you also get different qualities of resources that affect the price. But we're not really talking about commodities pricing today, much as just about the value of a credit).

I'm extremely tired - I have slept only a couple of hours in the past couple of nights.

Still, I feel as if there was something in the air. A lull before a storm. A pause between moments. There are signs of transition: things you see, things you hear, things you read. Things you feel. Things you have done.

I have a feeling that something will change soon. Hard to say in which direction.

Could be the spring, too.

Odds & Ends

A picture that tells the whole story: Where the US budget deficit is headed. From the NYT, link courtesy What Would Dick Think. The Next Great Distraction: We seem to be lurching from one short-term crisis (most of them manufactured, like the US social security 'crisis'), and blithely ignoring the longer-term threats that continually sit just outside the edge of our attention. While Bush is likely to keep his countrymen distracted for at least four years by stealing their social security and planning his next imperial adventure in Iran, the rest of the world is likely to be distracted by another crisis that is just waiting to happen -- a global pandemic caused by new strains of influenza jumping the species barrier. We've brought all these crises on ourselves -- overpopulation, overcrowding, and reducing the diversity of life on Earth to the point all the nodes of the ecosystem are rendered horrifically fragile. But the greatest danger us that these short-term crises are tangible and demanding of immediate attention, distracting us from making even an iota of progress on the critical but not yet urgent issues like global warming. Voyeur's Delight: Opentopia is an open source directory of some weird and wonderful online stuff. Its newest feature is online webcams where you can see what's happening in various public places all over the world. First one to spot a terrorist wins a prize. Thanks to The Pre-Surfer for the link. How to Be a Consultant: Also courtesy of Presurfer, this site humourously and candidly tells you what you should do, and not do, to succeed in the wacky world of consulting. Hilarious and very true advice. What First Amendment?: A recent exhaustive survey suggests most American schools don't teach students what the First Amendment is, or why it's important. Not surprisingly, therefore, it also finds most students don't know, or care. Dave Gets Another Blog Award Nomination: How to Save the World has received a lot of award nominations, but its lack of focus generally means that it just doesn't 'fit' in any of the categories well enough to compete with single-subject blogs. For example, recently I was nominated as 'Best Single-Subject Blog', prompting one voter to ask me "which of the 40 subjects you write about is this referring to?" I've also been nominated recently as Best Canadian Blog, which is remarkable since I almost never write about Canada. Needless to say, I'm still award-less. Now I've been nominated for Best Business Blog, and while that's not all I write about, at least I have a whole category on the subject. Since some of the other nominees are promoting their nomination to stir up votes, I thought I'd at least make an attempt to try to win one award. If you think my blog warrants consideration as Best Business Blog, please take a look at the nominees and consider voting for me here.
