Stipple Helps Gilt Spread Lady Gaga’s Merchandise Across The Web
Stipple Helps Gilt Spread Lady Gaga’s Merchandise Across The Web: "If you haven’t heard, Lady Gaga is taking over the internets with marketing and branding deals to spread the word on her new album, “Born This Way.” The pop artist just launched a new deal with Zynga for Gagaville; and today Lady Gaga is debuting a partnership with flash sales giant Gilt Groupe; offering Gaga-inspired merchandise, curates sales, access to Gaga events and more. And to help spread these deals across the web, Gilt has enlisted Stipple, a technology that allows you to tag people in images no matter where they reside on the web."

The 30+ Orca were spotted in Seymour Narrows heading south at 1130 yesterday. They sure didn't stay up here for very long!! Thanks to M/V 'Wildlife Adventurers' for the report.

Andrew Schloss » The Year of Science
Andrew Schloss, a professor in the University of Victoria’s School of Music, carries on this evolution of sound and technology. He uses technology to make music and to analyze sound, exclaiming, “I love that I can experiment with new sounds using new technology. You can experiment with sound just like you can experiment with chemicals in a chemistry lab!”

Trimpin: The Gurs Zyklus
Trimpin: The Gurs Zyklus: "Combining live performance with kinetic sculpture, and world history with personal biography, The Gurs Zyklus (“Gurs Cycle”) represents the fruits of a lifetime of curiosity, investigation, inspired tinkering, and riveting invention on the part of Trimpin, the brilliant artist of one name and no definable genre."
D-Wave researchers demonstrate progress in quantum computing
D-Wave researchers demonstrate progress in quantum computing: "To demonstrate quantum annealing, the researchers first adjusted the eight qubits to resemble a 1D chain of magnets, where each qubit wants to point in the same direction (up or down) as its two neighbors. The researchers then set the qubits on the ends of the chain in opposite directions, and allowed the six qubits in the middle to orient their spins with their neighbors. Since this set-up forces two neighboring qubits to have opposing spins, the process resulted in a “frustrated” ferromagnetic arrangement. Then, by tilting the qubits in the same direction and raising the energy barrier, the researchers caused the system to move toward one specific arrangement of frustrated spins, which is the ground state."
The Little Ludwig, an evolutionary learning machine for musical composition
The Little Ludwig, an evolutionary learning machine for musical composition: "Beethoven is gone, but his music remains. Had he been given another opportunity, who knows what he would write? Presumably any new compositions would feature at least some of the elements present in his previous music. The Little Ludwig operates on this assumption. The Little Ludwig is an evolutionary learning machine for musical composition. Written in Common Lisp, it is Earl Bellinger's final project in CSC 466: Artificial Intelligence and Heuristic Programming, a course in the SUNY Oswego Artificial Intelligence concentration for a B.S. in Computer Science."

A Python programmer’s first impression of CoffeeScript | Stephan Sokolow’s Blog
A Python programmer’s first impression of CoffeeScript | Stephan Sokolow’s Blog: "When foo is an array, if foo is always true
[] != false so, to check whether a list is empty, you have to do if foo.length instead."

Reinteract - Trac
Reinteract - Trac: "Reinteract is a system for interactive experimentation with Python. Reinteract worksheets contain Python code combined with the results of that code, formatted as text or graphical plots. Unlike a traditional shell, you can go back and edit previously entered statements, and the results will update. Among other things, Reinteract is suitable for experimentation with the Python language and for data analysis using the NumPy and SciPy packages."

Modernize Your Git Workflow « object.io | All code has costs. Only some code has value.: "Installing git-flow adds a few helpful commands to the git environment for creating and managing branches for features and releases. A fresh git repository is born with a master branch. In the default git-flow setup, this is where the current production release lives."
Episodic memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Episodic memory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "In healthy adults, longterm visual episodic memory can be enhanced specifically[11] through administration of the Acetylcholine esterase inhibitor Donepezil, whereas verbal episodic memory can be improved in persons with the val/val genotype of the val158met polymorphism through administration of the CNS penetrant specific catecholamine-O-methyltransferase inhibitor Tolcapone.[12] Furthermore, episodic memory is enhanced through AZD3480 a selective agonist at the neuronal alpha4beta2 nicotinic receptor, which is developed by the company Targacept"

Thrift vs. Protocol Buffers || Floating SunFloating Sun
Thrift vs. Protocol Buffers || Floating SunFloating Sun: "f you’ve ever built a non-trivial software system, especially any kind of distributed system, you’ve probably found yourself in need of a portable and efficient mechanism for storing and exchanging data. This is precisely what both Apache Thrift and Google’s Protocol Buffers provide: a language and platform neutral way of serializing structured data for use in communications protocols, data storage etc. Of course, several smart people have attacked this problem over the years and as a result there several good open source alternatives to choose from, including but not limited to Avro, plain-old JSON or XML etc."

The Elephant Seal has been surfacing in pretty much the same spot after, an average of 20 minute dives, for 5 hours now! So neat to have his presence in Blackney Pass. Beautiful, sunny, calm evening here.

Measuring brainwaves is not just for neuroscientists anymore – new affordable consumer level EEG devices ( & even some toys) do a respectable job at measuring tiny voltage pulses given off by neurons firing in the brain. Cool – but how shall we use these new found sensory powers? To automatically compose electronic music, of course!

Skilldrick » JavaScript and the end of progressive enhancement
Skilldrick » JavaScript and the end of progressive enhancement: "So, where does this leave things? It depends on how strongly you’re tied to progressive enhancement. Up until now, progressive enhancement was a good way to build websites and web apps – it enforced a clean separation between content, layout, behaviour and navigation. But it could be holding us back now, stopping the web moving forward towards more natural interfaces that aren’t over-burdened by its history as something very different to what it is today."
The Cool Cam - The Daily WTF
The Cool Cam - The Daily WTF: "Tim's 'cool cam' saved European Air War. It went from a money-leaking embarrassment to a top-tier release for MicroProse. The weekly meetings got easier, more developers were brought on, and the team managed to put together one hell of a game. It reviewed well after its 1998 release and is still a popular game for history buffs. And it probably wouldn't have been released if not for a programmer that knew what the project needed most; the cool cam."
