- Got my WinkSite moblog into my sidebar. I guess it looks painfully obvious. Kewl thing is it's a Javascript (or I should say ECMAScript) that writes an iframe tag that calls a ColdFusion page. The WINKsite emulator then reads my Radio RSS feed and spits it out. So my blog calls the WINKsite moblog, which calls stuff from my blog again. |

- Vote for Howard Dean. Yes, that’s right. The only way to get Republicans to truly fight for the low-tax, reduced-spending principles they traditionally espouse is to give them an opponent in the White House to fight against. Consider that for all his flaws, Bill Clinton grew government at a rate more modest than most of his predecessors and most certainly at a rate slower than his successor — a distinction that is almost entirely the result of Clinton being forced to work with a hostile Congress for most of his two terms. |

Uses compact flash cards, runs off two AAA batteries and is priced at around $239. |

- Cyborg profs. What is it with cyborg professors? First the rather scary publicity hound Kevin Warwick and now Steve Mann.

- Mon employeur s'intéresse à la cartographie de concepts... sujet qui commence à être à la mode apparemment mais reste en pratique bien souvent du domaine du gadget avec une tendance à l'évolution vers un outil de travail sophistiqué pour analystes professionnels de l'information (mais l'intérêt pratique et la praticité elle-même restent à démontrer). Toujours est-il que pour en savoir plus, outre les liens que j'avais déjà mentionnés, il peut être bon d'aller faire un tour du côté des outils froids du Web, qui consacre un "billet" récent à ce sujet. Et puis, tant que j'y suis, je vous mets ci-joint des joujoux personnels. L'image ci-dessous est un exemple de cartographie 2D, sans légende, d'un graphe (de concepts, de carottes, de choux, ... |
