for no particular reason, a curiousity

Something about one of my favourite songs (one too painful to keep)

"In 1977, John sat in the presidential suite of the Okura Hotel in Tokyo and began singing and playing his old songs with his acoustic guitar. The gigantic hotel suite had lifts that arrived straight into the Lennon lounge. As John was playing "Jealous Guy" to himself, the lift doors opened and a Japanese couple — who had arrived on the wrong floor — walked out. They sat and listened as John continued the song. When the song ended, they seemed displeased and went back down the elevator. Little did any of them know it, but this was to be John's last ever 'public' performance. They were the last two members of the general public to ever watch John Lennon perform a song."

No particular reason. Or every reason there could be

PLEs

htp://clcommunity.wikispaces.com/  Connected Learning Community

http://reload.ces.strath.ac.uk/plex/ PLEX

http://wiki.cetis.ac.uk/Ple/Report PLEX report and use cases etc.

Still wondering if a PLE is really needed, or if a set of Web2.0 tools loosely linked is a better solution

the worst things you can do

are tell someone how you feel about them

or not tell someone how you feel about them

Any way you look at it, you lose.

biggest number that can be written on a blackboard

On Friday, Jan. 26, two philosophers, MIT Associate Professor Agustin Rayo (The Mexican Multiplier) and Princeton Associate Professor Adam N. Elga (Dr. Evil) engaged in the Large Number Duel, in which they attempted to one-up each other by inscribing the largest finite number ever to be written on an ordinary-sized chalkboard. The feat, if successfully accomplished, would be worthy of a note in the Guinness Book of World Records.

It's not clear why the expression "what's written on the other guy's blackboard, plus one" wouldn't win...

Readymechs are free, flatpack toys for you to print and build. They are designed to fit on an 8.5"x11" page and printed with any printer. You’ll need double-sided tape, thick matte paper, and 10-15 minutes for build time.

$100 laptop on trial in Australia

Australia's Northern Territory is trialing Negroponte's $100 OLPC laptop

Some other jurisdictions seem entirely ignorant of anything that isn't marketed by people who'll take them out to an executive lunch.

mathematically based face morphing. Relatively simple linear algebra, nice manifestation in the real world.
