Is the economic drought over?

Is the economic drought over? 03/06/2004 01:57 AM
I've spent a bit of time over the last two years searching through my cobweb shrouded memories of the lectures of one of the best teachers I ever had and trying read the entrails of the economy and predict when the hi-tech rebound would start, all without success. We finally shut down our company last year, and I have been parenting, travelling, writing and doing a bit of consulting since. Until recently, the Bay Area economy and the high-tech economy seemed mired in the doldrums. However, recently my personal economic barometer has suddenly moved from calm to hurricane. Last week I got two phone calls from old colleagues about jobs, as well as a couple of calls from recruiters, something that used to be an almost daily nuisance, then didn't happen at all for two years. This week I have 3 meetings to discuss employment opportunities, one that I sought out, the two others that sought me out. I certainly hope that this is a sign of things to come for the Bay Area economy and hi-tech. As Glenn Fleishman once said, "Whenever I get busy, my blog dwindles. You can practically draw a revenue/work graph line against frequency of posts. ... If you don't hear much from me, congratulate me. I must be doing well. " To complete the parade of cliches, I'm not counting my chickens before they hatch, but I expect that postings will be light in the immediate future, and I hope they will continue to be light for a while....

I was at an identity management conference last week, and while many of the presentations would be of interest to network managers running Windows 2000 and Windows 2003, one in particular drew my attention. It was about a company that has 3,500-plus employees scattered in 43 offices across the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, South East Asia, the Pacific, and South America. Its network looks like this:

While the number deployed will certainly vary from organization to organization, still there should be some rules that tend to support either a single forest or dozens.

Forest Practices From Above

Forest Practices From Above 04/08/2005 12:34 AM

Via Dave Shea, a visual lesson on modern forestry. I’ve actually visited a clear-cut or two, that’s some real ugliness. You don’t have to be a fanatical green, here in BC, to start having a real attitude problem about forestry companies and their pet politicians. Kind of like the Ents’ attitude towards Saruman’s Orcs. There has to be middle ground; I like living in a wooden house and reading words on paper. But look at those pictures; we can’t go on like this.

"...the surviving Wanniya-laeto community retains much of its own distinctive cyclic worldview, prehistoric cultural memory, and time-tested knowledge of their semi-evergreen dry monsoon forest habitat that has enabled their ancestor-revering culture to meet the diverse challenges to their collective identity and survival."

Spider Robots of the Forest World

Spider Robots of the Forest World 10/30/2003 11:57 PM
A Colorado Daily article describes a new type of robot that will be used to study complex ecosystems. Bill Kaiser came up with the idea of small, solar-powered robots that move above the forest on a network of wires at up to 20MPH. The robots can also lower themselves on self-contained fibers much like a spider to examine activity lower down in the forest. Working with UCLA and the Center for Embedded Networked Sensing (CENS) an NFS grant was obtained for the project, known as the Networked InfoMechanical System (NIMS). CENS does a lot of other interesting R & D on robotics and remote sensing for use in studying the environment. For more info on NIMS and photos of the robots, see the UCLA press release.
