Well I personally think it’s quite creative to prove mathematical theories using beer. Some people hovever think this research and a few others are worthy of public derision.
Thanks for the reminder Fizzz

Before PowerPoint
Here is a presentation by Doug Engelbart recorded in 1968. It’s quite impressive to see that most of these concepts, outlines, multiple views, hyperlinks, the mouse, are still in use today.
On the other hand, what was really high tech then is now common place but watching this, I can’t help to feel we haven’t come that far in 35 years.The concepts are the same, the goal is the same. The concept is much more polished, it’s not lab stuff anymore. But is there anything in the labs right now that will bring a revolution that will change the way I work in the next 30 years. I don’t think that WinXX qualifies there.

My cultural contribution of the day…
I found a link to this at a perfectly legitimate legal weblog. I have no comment on them, just thought that the pics were different from what we usually see (alright, and kind of funny too). Can it just be art? (Ok… there is somekind of social message in there but me not getting into that…)
Enjoy! It’s Friday!
But I love this weather!

CURRENT CONDITIONS
Nov 29 2002 1:00PM – Dorval Airport
Heavy snow
I prefer the french version:
Conditions actuelles Aéroport de Dorval
Nuageux. Neige et poudrerie élevé
Poudrerie is the seal of quality of a good tempête.
And I’m listening to Printemps été from the album « Menteur » by Jean Leloup…
Now the fun part is that I actually love this weather. I’ll happily walk 40 minutes in it tonight. Plus the dog walk (the dog loves snow too). And I might just x-c ski this week-end.
