It may be boring to everyone else, but art, science, politics and culture is the haps in Eldorado.
- A New Weblog

I'm going to start focusing my efforts on a blog that seems to meet my needs a little better, so I am inviting everyone to bookmark my new location for my daily ramblings on "the internets.". Don't worry, I will be visiting Y!360 sites still so you will hear from me!
HERE IS MY NEW BLOG:

-
Apple released a beta development tool free called Dashcode, specifically for creating Dashboard Widgets. Cool. So I downloaded it a couple of days ago and before you know it I was working on creating a widget. A slight knowlege of Javascript and other development doesn't hurt to know but overall its incredibly easy to generate widgets.
I created and just submitted to Apple my first one. It's a simple widget that takes the RSS feed from the New Mexican and throws it in a widget. And it works!

Above is a screenshot (with the story of Gov. Richardson planning on announcing his first steps to run for president on Tuesday) and here is my page where you can download it. Maybe I'll find time soon to clean it up or create another widget. It's kinda fun.Tags: technology, newmexico, apple Friday January 19, 2007 - 11:55pm (MST) Permanent Link | 2 Comments - Friday and we have snow...
-
...coming in yet again. If there was a word to describe 2007 so far I would say it's "SNOW". Strange. "Global weather chaos" is what scientists have mentioned "global warming" should be called.
Us getting 3 feet of snow is anything but normal. How about ice storms in Houston? Snow in Malibu? Warm northeast winter? Green December in Minnesota? Ski lifts closed in Europe due to lack of the white stuff? New Islands in Greenland due to melt?
I can go on. I have a friend in Kenya who says they have had record floods.
Anyhow, we do need the moisture in NM so I won't complain anymore today.

-
I'm not sure how well this will work, but the theory is interesting. Wish there was a link to their research so I can see more of what it's all about...
Using Wikipedia, Technion researchers have developed a way to give computers knowledge of the world to help them “think smarter,” making common sense and broad-based connections between topics just as the human mind does. The new method will help computers filter e-mail spam, perform Web searches and even conduct intelligence gathering at more sophisticated levels than current programs.
Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have found a way to give computers encyclopedic knowledge of the world to help them “think smarter,” making common sense and broad-based connections between topics just as the human mind does.Tags: computers, technology, society Wednesday January 17, 2007 - 10:22pm (MST) Permanent Link | 0 Comments - Sundance 2007

I know little about what's happening there this year. If anyone has a connection to the scoop, pray tell and post!
