You know, stuff
Found this story about a wrist based Sony Device that allows for the control of Android based phones via bluetooth online. It is compatible with many Android 2.1 or newer based phones. Price $150. Cool, but not sure I would drop that on a modified remote, though I would pay that for a good watch.

Though many are discussing the parts of Paul Allen’s forthcoming biography where he, Mr. Allen, alleges that Bill Gates, Steve Ballmer and others tried to cheat him out of a large part and the value of Microsoft’s stock.

The NY Times had an article on the trends / steps in high school and college – focusing on Central Florida University and turnitin.com – to stop cheating (full story here). Since I have not seen a classroom in almost 20 years this kind of stuff was really interesting to me. I knew cheating was [...]

Gower’s weblog has a ongoing series uniquely discussing the lower bounds of complexity (P vs NP) by use of emoticons. Yes that is right a math conversation with emoticons as the characters.
