doing the things a particle can
doing the things a particle can04/09/2004 04:08 PM I had a fantastic time at the convention yesterday. I performed
material from Just A Geek and Dancing Barefoot to a
mostly-full theatre, and I think it was my best performance to date. I
took material from both books, and I put it together in what I hoped
would be a dramatically interesting order.

Particle collider edges forward08/20/2004 10:01 AM Physicists take a key decision on the technology to be used in the
International Linear Collider, one of the grand scientific projects of
the 21st Century.
“Researchers from the University of Cambridge in England, the
National University of Singapore and the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology have devised a relatively simple way to transfer data
between quantum bits, or qubits. The method is a step toward building
quantum computers, which have the potential to solve certain types of
very large problems many orders of magnitude faster than is possible
using classical computers.”…

Town of Bourton's miniature model has a miniature model of the model (and so on)
Town of Bourton's miniature model has a miniature model of the model (and so on)12/23/2003 11:30 PM Mark Bourne says: So
my wife Elizabeth and I are googling up possibilities for our long
trip to England next year. Checking out London sites and so on. An
acquaintance suggested staying for a few days in the Cotswolds, a
scenic Middle Earthy region west of London. That's how we found a
page about the town of Bourton.
You just gotta love this text, which blends Ye Olde Scepter'd Isle
with sci-fi gee-wizardry:
You will probably have noticed that when you take a branch
from certain trees (some conifers for example), the branch looks like
a miniature version of the tree, and when you break a piece off the
branch, that looks like a tree too. Mathematicians call this property
self-similarity.
Bourton has a wonderful example of self-similarity: it contains a
1/10 scale model of itself. Because the 1/10 scale model is a complete
model of the town, it must contain a model of itself, and it does, a
1/100th. scale model of Bourton, and because the 1/100th. scale model
is also a complete model of Bourton, it must also contain a 1/1000th.
scale model of the scale model of the scale model of Bourton.
And it does. It is only a matter of time before a team of
nano-technicians turn up in the town to etch a sub-micron scale model
of Bourton on a silicon wafer, complete with mill, waterwheel, and a
highly imaginative interpretation of the River Windrush as a stream of
electrons.

It's Not a Model: It's One-to-One Scale
It's Not a Model: It's One-to-One Scale11/20/2003 12:40 AM This sounds like the biggest toy train set in the world: Burlington
Northern and Santa Fe Railway Co. use Wi-Fi to remotely control their
engines in trainyards. You can't make this stuff up. Less amusing and
more interesting, the company wants to look into opening up their
private microwave network to public cellular and data communications
as a way to provide service in underserved areas....

Plaxo Does Have A Business Model... But Not Really
Plaxo Does Have A Business Model... But Not Really05/24/2004 03:05 AM I'll admit that I have not
been kind to Plaxo in the past. Ever since the service was first
announced, it sounded like a bubble era pointless dot com. There was
a lot of hype about the young founder (previously founded Napster!)
and the "service" itself didn't seem like much of a product. At most,
it was a feature of a larger product, and that larger product might
just turn out to be something like Microsoft Outlook. If the system
was remotely useful, you would think that Microsoft would just build
it in to Outlook. However, it didn't even seem that useful. If
anything, I expected it to be annoying - and has it ever been
annoying. I now block all Plaxo requests, but for a while, the amount
of Plaxo spam was ridiculous. Then, of course, there's the privacy
question. While Plaxo now goes to great lengths to swear up and down
that they keep your info private, they don't seem to understand the
real privacy complaint: when your friends give your address to
some 3rd party service, are
they violating your privacy? It's a question that's not entirely
clear. In the meantime, this was all made worse by the fact that
Plaxo still didn't have anything remotely resembling a business model
(shades of the bubble era again...). Well, now they claim they've
solved that issue, and have announced that their business model is a
$20/year paid version for which
you'll get such great features as... well, they actually don't seem to
know yet. You will get better customer support though. It
always worries me when companies decide that better customer support
is a premium "feature," because they've just set up the incentives to
mean that they give the absolute worst customer support to anyone not
in that tier. This doesn't seem particularly compelling. They're
basically saying their new business model is that they'll annoy me
less if I pay? No thanks...
