I’m amazed at how elite the elite Republican Guard is. Oh well, guess they wouldn’t cut it in the Marines….

Came across Venter’s new scheme

29-Mar-03

Came across Venter’s new scheme at Life Made to Order. Essentially Venter is looking to create his own form of life. That’s right, completely build his own DNA and from that create the actual organism. Amazing, truly amazing….

If you haven’t read Dear

21-Mar-03

If you haven’t read Dear Raed then I suggest you spend some time with it. It is utterly compelling and fascinating. Basically its the blog of an Iraqi musing about daily life and the war.

Good productive Saturday. I finished a new technique for model matching, basically using a metric based approximate string match. Got some good sql done, also a nifty extended stored procedure for sql server that does the actual guts of the search.

10-Feb-02

Wanna read something really freaky (this is copied whole from Ars Technica): “Many software developers predict that presence technology will become almost as ubiquitous as communication devices themselves. In six months, Motorola officials say, the company will roll out a system that will allow a caller to tell whether another person’s mobile phone is on [...]

Hey, so I just read

10-Feb-02

Hey, so I just read Eve Arden’s history of arsDigita, an extremely interesting and innovative consulting company. Can’t say I disagree with alot of what she says! I’ve been involved in a few of the Silicon Alley companies. I remember thinking how foolish I was thinking these people don’t have a clue! Now I know, [...]
