Fwd: RT @CameronNeylon: Video of my talk at #pmrhack - Why good software practice matters in research and how service based thinking can help http://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr... (via http://friendfeed.com/steelgr...)
I didn't quite get the wrap right the way I wanted - there was a larger point I wanted to make about thinking about services and diversity of services that didn't quite work. Still, some good core messages in there. - Cameron Neylon
So long and thanks for all the fish! ;)

"Polilov found that M.mymaripenne has one of the smallest nervous systems of any insect, consisting of just 7,400 neurons. For comparison, the common housefly has 340,000 and the honeybee has 850,000. And yet, with a hundred times fewer neurons, the wasp can fly, search for food, and find the right places to lay its eggs." - Jan Wessnitzer

I am currently enjoying two Stanford courses.... http://www.good.is/post...
"This fall, Stanford decided to experiment by offering its three most popular computer science classes to the public—for free. Within weeks, 200,000 people from around the globe signed up, with Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, taught by renowned Stanford professors Peter Norvig and Sebastian Thrun (pictured above), attracting a whopping 160,000 students." - Jan Wessnitzer

"If you head over to Wolfram Alpha right now and input "flights overhead" into the search box, the site will return all the planes that are currently over your position, their altitude, angle, and slant distance." - Jan Wessnitzer
