a short braindump.

hmm, haven’t posted anything in a while.
a smattering of notes from life:

  • my mother-in-law just took a trip to Yunnan, China to take photos. I’ve posted some of them in this flickr set
  • went on ISI’s bi-annual AI retreat a few weekends ago. a few interesting things that I may fill out later:
  • SIMILE (project aiming towards “inter-operability among digital assets, schemata/vocabularies/ontologies, metadata, and services”. distributed semantic web, like a delicious of metadata sets/organizational structures).
  • Craig’s group, researching mashups of mashups
  • my first taste of lisp programming (gives (me (of-type (headache big))). (or something like that)
  • and now, for some lunacy: last night ahd a conversation with friends about the magnetosphere around earth. this morning i woke up wondering, if the field extends far enough–say, to the moon–if we could lay down some long electrical wires and generate “free” (err, compared to the oversized kinetic energy of the moon) electricity as the moon orbits through the field. hmmm.
