When Work is Child's Play (Jan 31 2008 19:11 GMT) - The morning show moment Moms are buzzing about. Wish every day was "Bring Your Child to Work Day"? Check out this Today show clip, where you'll see one company that actually encourages their employees to bring their children to the office.

What's your take on this new trend? |

A vueltas con la madre del arte (Jan 31 2008 19:11 GMT) - (Por si no os acordais, este post viene motivado por una de las palabras que me propuso Mikel. ¡Prometo que no había leído su blog hoy!). Entropía es la palabra de la Física que encierra más poesía, como fractal hace en las matemáticas. Es la magnitud de la flecha del tiempo, de la edad de los sistemas, de la lucha eterna mientras dure el Universo entre un factor, ordenado y civilizado, domeñado por las funciones que se portan bien, y otro, más que desordenado, salvaje, e impredecible hasta por la peor de las funciones. |

Gee, another Lisp written in Lisp (Jan 31 2008 19:09 GMT) - It looks like Paul Graham's new language Arc has been released (link via lemonodor). I was reading over the announcement when I saw this: In exploratory programming, the fact that it's unclear what a list represents is an advantage, because you yourself are unclear about what type of program you're trying to write. The most important thing is not to constrain the evolution of your ideas. So the less you commit yourself in writing to what your data structures represent, the better. |

I didn't realize comic books had story boards (Jan 31 2008 19:09 GMT) - As a kid, I loved reading comics, and wanted to be a comic strip artist much like Charles Schulz or Jim Davis. I had even attempted once to draw a comic book. What I don't recall is how I wrote the comic book. I had seen how comic books are written, thanks to an oversized (nearly poster sized) Superman special comic book, and it looked more like a screenplay than a comic book (oddly enough, most movies, or at least those made by Messrs. Lucas and Spielberg, go through a storyboard phase which looks more like a comic book than a screenplay). |

Two stories about green teens (Jan 31 2008 19:09 GMT) - First up, there's Marco Facciola (16) (Wlofie and Bunny should find this interesting): As a 16-year-old high school student in the International Baccalaureate program, I am required to complete a 'personal project' on a non-academic topic that is of interest to me. I have always enjoyed woodworking and design, so I decided to build a functional wooden bicycle. There was to be no metal used in its construction, only wood and glue. I wanted a project that would be a challenge. |
