ience-fair-projects.com/Today your teacher announced
that your school is going to have a science fair and students are
responsible for exhibiting their projects. What do you feel?
Enthusiastic? Despondent? Dreadful? Fearful? Excited?" This statement
opens the Super Science Fair Projects site. Actually, whether student
or parent, science fair projects, while great ways to get students
actively involved in learning the scientific method and problem
solving, can be tough assignments. This site may help you with one of
the hardest parts: coming up with an idea. The site does a great job
of walking the visitor through the steps needed to plan and implement
a project, from Choosing a Topic, the Scientific Method, and writing
the Project Report. There are even tips on displaying your project,
rehearsing, winning over judges, and what to expect the day of the
fair. This is definitely a great tool to tap into when planning a
science fair project.[From The NSDL Scout Report for Math,

Jason did great for live TV, which is just about the most stressful
thing in the world. He seemed relaxed, though the host seemed a little
manic. I assume a producer was screaming in the host's ear to keep
Jason moving, which caused the host to cut Jason off whenever he
started sounding reflective. My favorite parts were the host violating
the Adsense terms of service by goading people into clicking his ad
links and the graphic "Blogging for Bling" in the background (because
clearly, Jason's only in it for the benjamins).

nonetheless.
If legislators were forced to vote today for the "right of first

allowed libraries to circulate physical materials, I wonder how many
of them would blindly sign it away without a second thought to
libraries. If public libraries didn't already exist, would we be able
to start them in this day and age? My guess is no.

College To Do Away With Fair Use
College To Do Away With Fair Use
12/17/2003 09:34 PM
The latest silliness from our college campuses is this bit of news
from Ithaca College, where they're planning to tell professors that fair use no longer exists when it comes to course packs
(the photocopied excerpts from various sources that many professors
use to give students short excerpts from a variety of sources). While
most such course packs do involve some approved material, much of it
is often used on a fair-use basis - but university administrators are
afraid of getting sued. Thus, they're going to tell professors that
they need to license every last bit of content they use. This means
that (a) professors will ditch a lot of materials, because they don't
have time to get approval from everyone or because the publisher wants
too much money to include a single paragraph and (b) the course packs
will be much more expensive with less useful stuff for students. In
some cases, professors will simply put the materials on library loan,
where students will go and photocopy it anyway - basically adding an
"annoyance" factor to the process. It's a great lesson we're teaching
the students of today when they don't get to read certain materials
because it's just too damn expensive.

Fair and Balanced?
Fair and Balanced?
10/28/2003 11:07 PM
Bill Gates recently got together with Steve Mills from IBM and
demonstrated some web services interoperability between our two
companies' products. It has taken awhile to get to this point,
from the initial hype to the point where some of these key scenarios
work without smoke and mirrors; so it is nice to see a "status report"
like this.
The first response I saw came in the form of this shrill attack
piece run on CNET. The author seems stuck in the last
century, when people still bought the big lie about "write once run
anywhere". He fails to explain how "runs only on Java" is
significantly different from "runs only on Windows", and completely
misses the point that most enterprises have to support both
types of systems (and many more) and therefore place a high priority
on interop.
The attack piece brought back fond memories of the days when Bob
Metcalfe and Jai Singh (now managing editor at CNET) were together at
the helm of Infoworld. Then I saw another analysis in
CNET, covering the same interop event, but surprisingly balanced,
at least in comparison to the first piece. Finally, I found yet another
analysis on CNET, again covering the same event; and this one is
positively glowingly accurate!
What to make of it? A single presentation by Bill Gates
inspires three different pieces in CNET which cover the whole spectrum
of opinion. Can't complain about that.

disingenous. As my cow-orker Fred Von Lohmann noted today in a mailing

eloquently), First Amendment is like fair use, technically invoked as
a defense in court, but that doesn't stop us from talking about our

Customer Expressions, a leading provider of complaint handling and
case management software, today announced that Canada's largest
medical group purchasing organization, Medbuy, has begun the
implementation of the i-Sight complaints management software
package.When the rollout is complete, i-Sight will enable Medbuy and
its 300-plus member hospitals across Canada to reduce administrative
expenses and increase the quality of patient care by providing a fast,
efficient and cost-effective means of logging, tracking and resolving
complaints arising from their purchases of pharmaceuticals.Using
i-Sight’s leading-edge portal technology, pharmaceutical vendors will
be notified automatically when hospital staff report errors in
shipments, incorrect labeling, problems with packaging and other such
problems. Vendor representatives will then be able to login to the
portal and provide a resolution. At the same time, Medbuy, its
hospital members and pharmaceutical vendors will benefit from
real-time access to ongoing statistical information that will enable
them to reduce the incidence of such problems in future. [PRWEB Jul

Software That Lasts For Years And Years
Software That Lasts For Years And Years
07/14/2004 06:51 PM
We were just talking about the rise of
quick and dirty programs as a way for individuals (not necessarily
programmers) to solve specific needs. However, as was mentioned at
the time, that would be a different "tier" of software programming,
and there would still be a need for programmers to do higher level
"big" projects. In the past, we've also discussed the
problem of data extinction, where old computer systems and formats
die out, leaving content and applications virtually useless on ancient
media. This is a big problem for many applications, and Dan Bricklin
is now suggesting that people need to start designing "Societal
Infrastructure Software" that can last for centuries, not just a
few years. The idea is that this type of software shouldn't have to
worry about new computers or new formats or new anything... but will
be able to just keep on working. In order to build this, though,
Bricklin believes it will require embracing open source programming,
though not necessarily the way people view open source programming
today. It's a fascinating concept, but getting people to think
long-term is so difficult these days, that you wonder if such ideas
will actually catch on.
