James Madison Papers
http:// memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/madison_papers/

The Library of Congress announced the release of the James Madison Papers, now available on the Library's American Memory Web at the above link. The James Madison Papers from the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress consist of approximately 12,000 items captured in some 72,000 digital images. They document the life of the man who came to be known as the "Father of the Constitution" through correspondence, personal notes, drafts of letters and legislation, an autobiography, legal and financial documents, and miscellaneous manuscripts. The collection is organized into six series dating from 1723 to 1836. Beginning with a selection of his father's letters, the series moves through Madison's years as a student, and as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates and include extensive notes of the debates during his three-year term in the Continental Congress (1779-82). Notes and a memoranda document Madison's pivotal role in the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and the Virginia ratification convention of 1788. Other materials reflect the nine years that Madison spent in the House of Representatives and his tenure as Secretary of State during Thomas Jefferson's presidency. Correspondence and notes trace his two terms as the fourth president of the United States, illuminating the origins and course of the War of 1812 and the post-war years of his presidency and subsequent retirement. The collection also includes a complete copy of Thomas Jefferson's notes from the Continental Congress of 1776. Notable correspondents include Dolley Payne Madison, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, Edmund Randolph, Noah Webster, and Secretary of War James Armstrong, whose correspondence with Madison fills an entire series. This has been added to Reference Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Waiting for Intel's Madison

Waiting for Intel's Madison 03/20/2003 01:05 PM
Madison, Intel's third-generation Itanium chip, is on the horizon, and the server market is abuzz. Will this be the processor that gives Intel a solid toehold in the high-end server market, or will it be another embarrassment like the company's first-generation Itanium, Merced? And should IT managers delay server purchases until Madison is released?

Photos of "robots" carrying signs written in binary code. They're marching to support underpaid and overworked teaching assistants in Madison, Wisconsin. Such thoughtful 'bots. Correction: BoingBoing reader Ryan Whaley says, "They weren't supporting the teachers' union, it just happened to be going on at the same time. They planned it weeks ahead of time. They're all members of the somethingawful forums."

Amazing dining at Eleven Madison Park

Amazing dining at Eleven Madison Park 05/21/2004 05:16 PM
I've had my share of tasting menus but last night's six-course tasting menu at Eleven Madison Park was one of the best. With wonderful big windows looking onto the lush Madison Square Park, and an interior filled with flowers of all kinds, Eleven Madison Park's atmosphere got the evening off to a great start. The champagne that followed continued the thrill. Usually the tasting menu is a series of small plates, demonstrating the breadth and depth of the kitchen. At Eleven Madison Park, the breadth is more visible because they don't serve everyone the same dish. So each course was actually one thing for Jason and something different for me. Like a creamy pea flan with morels for one and asparagus with goat cheese for the other. Or skate in brown butter and cod. Arctic char and salmon. Each course we ate half of what was on the plate, then switched. So the six-course menu (which actually eight courses counting the tuna tartare amuse bouche and the chocolate soufflé) ended up providing eleven different things to eat. And wowzers, but where they good! The pea flan was creamy and sweet and the most beautiful shade of green. The four fish courses were each distinct, each wonderful. And the only course that was the same for both of us was a côte du boeuf -- beef -- that was perhaps the best piece of meat I've ever eaten in my life. It was such a great experience to have so many textures, so many flavors -- and with the wine flight we had to accompany it, so many different wine tastes -- that I wonder why I'd ever want just a larger plate of one thing. I am fully subscribed to the Thomas Keller school of thought when it comes to portion size: three or four bites is a wonderful amount, enough that you experience it and yet not so much your tongue tires of the flavors. Each last bite leaves you wanting more. And yet the next course comes and it's another exiting adventure and new flavors. I can still nearly taste the pea flan on my tongue! I definitely recommend Eleven Madison Park and hope to have the pleasure of dining again there someday.

Apple's iPod and other digital music players were clearly designed with Ben Folds, not Beethoven, fans in mind. From its cataloging system to a dearth of downloadable classics, the iPod presents challenges to longhairs. But Lexington-area classical aficionados say overcoming some bugaboos is worth it for a player that serves their needs like no other. By Robert J. Hughes, Wall Street Journal

Learning by Doing

Learning by Doing 12/19/2004 03:41 PM
Real-time programmer Jack W. Crenshaw has written a fascinating, if not directly robotics-related, article on the differing opportunities for learning by doing that exist for kids today compared to a generation ago. Jack learned by taking apart model trains, clocks, and the Sturmey-Archer 3-speed hub from his bicycle. But how could someone growing up in today's world learn about computers in the same way? He goes on to describe toy-like machines that implement digital principals such as flip-flops, counters, and logic-gates in a mechanical way that allows you to see, touch, and disassemble them. He doesn't mention it in his article, but I think robotics kits offer kids some of the same opportunities to take apart and understand modern machines.

m-learning is a European research and development project supported by the European Commission's Information Society Technologies (IST) programme. Its mission is "to develop prototype products and services which will deliver information and learning experiences via technologies that are inexpensive, portable and accessible to the majority of EU citizens." The products and services currently being designed are targeted for "young adults (16 to 24) who are not currently taking part in education or training" and who are unemployed, under-employed or homeless. The products employ themes such as football and music and include activities designed to develop aspects of literacy and numeracy. Research reports and Powerpoint presentations are available online, along with video clips and summaries about the group's work.

Learning to let go

Learning to let go 05/19/2004 02:41 AM
Accessibility and Usability are discussed a lot more lately than the last few years. Many rumours and half truths about accessibility and the law make non technical colleagues come up to us with questions about accessiibility. Most developers make the mistake of considering accessibility a technological problem, which is only partly the case. We do not need new technology, as old browsers are here to stay, we need to rethink the design of the products we make, we need to learn to let go.

Learning to use Audacity

Learning to use Audacity 05/07/2004 06:16 AM
Audacity is a free-as-in-GPLd, cross-platform sound editor for Windows, Mac, and Unix. I've recently spent some time learning how to use it. I can tell you already that it's a gem, ranking up there in my all-time top ten list of free Linux applications. Before the review police start whacking away on this story, let me make one thing perfectly clear: this is not a review. I'll leave that to those who know a lot more about sound engineering than I do. This is the tale of an ordinary user learning to how use a kick-ass application.

Learning Photo

Learning Photo 08/19/2004 03:21 PM

There are lots of great sites to help you learn the basics of photography and keep up with the latest news, but recently I came across the new site Learning Photo which is doing something a bit different than the others.

For each shot shared on the site, the photographer describes the location and how it was taken, and why any changes were made while shooting. Then, in addition to the information and final photo, the original images are offered for download if you'd like to see exactly what Joe started with. It's the first time I've seen a photographer offer RAW images for download and tweaking by others. Serious digital photographers shoot in RAW because it allows for fine-tuned control and pre-processing in an application like Photoshop CS, and it's great to see a photographer letting readers go "behind the curtain" in this way. The RAW images are licensed under a non-derivative license, so you'll have to ask Joe's permission if you want to post a black-and-white version of his shots online, but in the case of learning how to shoot and process the best photographs possible, sharing RAW images under a Creative Commons License is a great way to share source with prospective students while protecting your photographs from being exploited by others.

Learning to Rest

Learning to Rest 12/08/2003 08:08 AM

Adam Bosworth: I admit to not being a REST expert and the people commenting, Mike Dierkin and Mark Baker in particular, certainly are. They tell me I'm all wet about the REST issues. I'll dig into it. But I admit, I don't get it. I need to be educated.

I personally think that the place to start is to first tease apart the "HTTP is the one true protocol" from the "REST is the one true architecture", and then initially focus on the latter.  Once done, you may come back to believe in one or both of these, but they can be addressed independently.

To draw an analogy, Java 1.0 did not have a component model.  A convention of getters and setters methods corresponding to a property emerged.  Getters always have zero parameters, setters typically have one.

On the web, there is an analogous component model.  Resources have a GET and POST method (as well as a few others).  This is not one per property, but one per resource (object).  This encourages a coarse grained approach to integration - something that scales better than fine grained access.

Nothing in REST requires or precludes an equivalent to WSDL.  However, nothing in WSDL today models the interaction that is typical of WSDL itself: "at this address is a document of a given type.  If you GET it, you will find a strongly typed description of another resource (endpoint)".

Anybody with experience in database design will tell you that it makes sense to focus a lot of energy on optimizing reads.  The web does this well.

Other principles that apply: all persistent resources have identifiers.  No implicit state.

I have further thoughts posted at REST+SOAP.  I'd also point to The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing, but alas, it has gone 404.  (The concept of 404 itself is an important implication of a REST design).

Biological Learning and AI

Biological Learning and AI 07/07/2004 07:46 PM
Cogprints just announced the addition of a 1994 research paper (PDF format) by Christian Balkenius on the implications of biological learning mechanisms to artificial intelligence. The paper is ten years old but still relevant today. It ties in nicely with Rodeny Brooks' subsumption approach to behavioural robotics and suggests that prior AI research efforts to find a generalized set of learning algorithms were fundamentally wrong.
