]]>This site is dedicated to the Little Gems of children's television programs that have long faded into memory such as Moondial, Into the Labyrinth, The Herbs, Cockleshell Bay, Alias the Jester, Belle and Sebastien, Murun Buchstansangur, The Singing Ringing Tree, Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings (as shown on Captain Kangaroo) and Portland Bill. It also includes recently discovered Gems such as The Big Knights. These and other classics may no longer be seen on our television screens but we hope that this site will bring back vivid memories of those lazy days of the summer school holidays.

For my final project for MAT 259 (Data Visualization) I wanted to explore the topics of 3D Space, particle systems, OpenGL and java, alpha blending, bill boarding, user interactivity, self-organizing algorithms (Kohonen), and electromagnetic attractions and repulsion. The end result is what you see above and below. I used one year of transaction data (books, DVDs, etc) from the Seattle Public Library to drive the visualization. Each particle/sphere is given properties, such as what category/subcategory it represents and how many items where checked out in that category. This is used to drive the physics system that is used to separate the nodes evenly on the surface of the sphere, moreover I wrote a Kohonen-like to cluster the nodes that are related (same category) together. The visualization is interactive; it allows the user to manipulate how they see the data and the properties of the system.
RDF is worth learning for a different reason — the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it. That experience will make you a better format and data API designer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use RDF itself a lot. (You can get some beginning experience with RDF fairly easily by writing and modifying simple files like FOAF and DOAP for social networks and software projects, or RDFa extensions for XHTML.)
This year will see the implementation of a new piece of American legislation developed by the Department of Homeland Security called the Secure Flight Program (SFP). The bill contains at least one measure that has raised the ire of many Canadian civil liberties organisations; airlines must provide the United States’ Transportation Security Administration with such personal information as a passenger’s passport and travel itinerary three days before any flight goes through American airspace. All information gathered is subsequently cross-referenced against lists of suspected terrorists and criminals.
HyperDither is an OS X image processing utility that converts color or grayscale images to 1 bit black & white using a sophisticated dithering routine. Specifically, HyperDither implements the “Atkinson” dithering filter. Years ago, during the development of the first Macintosh, Bill Atkinson (of HyperCard, QuickDraw, MacPaint & now nature photography fame) discovered a very elegant dithering filter to convert greyscale image data for the 1 bit black & white Mac video display. The dithering produced by this routine was much higher quality than the now-a-days ubiquitous Floyd-Steinberg or “Error-diffusion” filter (used by QuickTime, PhotoShop).
It is no secret Gotham Gal is one of my favorites and is a top content creator ! I once posted a comment on her husband’s web site that I still took notes on Crain StationaryWith A Quill pen ! http://www.crane.com/ My mother was very well educated and in our house Etiquette was king ! We had beautiful Crane Note paper and I still remember even though I was born in 1936-having to write hundreds of thank you note’s to people who attended my Bar Mitzvah ! I of course used a Parker 51 Fountain Pen that I got as a gift ! When I turned 21 I had my own Crain Stationary that was blind embossed with a simple line in the left hand column and the store where I bought it had to register the embossing ! The stationary got me a lot of response from politicians and other people I wrote , they must have thought I was important ! Presentation is a very important element in any communcation ! I was always jealous of my Friends who attented Catholic School since their penmanship was a work of art ! They had the Palmer method applied to their fingers with a ruler ! I didn’t meet the ruler method until I went Hebrew School ! I went to Detroit Country Day School for grades 1-12 and there was a lot of pressure applied to read and write ! Steve Ballmer also graduated from that School a long time after me and I know dam well it gave him an excellent base for a career ! Most of the people at that school were Harvard Bound since the headmaster F Alden Shaw was a Harvard graduate ! Me I went to the University of Miami and majored in what they call today Communication, with a minor in Statistics and it was the fifties so we all got 5th Degree Black Belts in Rum Drinking on a beautiful island 90 mies from Miami - Viva Ritmo Latino ! A good education will help you understand the Human Condition a long with a few wacks from a good Psychiatrist ! Both these elements temper your ego and make sure you are not a snob ! The internet is young and I have found a lot of people who created content that is presented with good taste aimed at all of the US The Unwashed ! I strongly resent the critics on the internet who have no backround liberal arts critisizing others ! Teche’s are the worst at this since usually they have technical degress and have never learned to communicate with anything other than a machine ! My people communicators are Seth Godin- Davie Winer- Chris Brogan-ShelIsrael-Bill Israel-Andrew Badera-Frank Eliason-Guy Kawasaki -Fred Wilson-Gotham Gal and many more !

Apple announced during the 1984 Super Bowl that on January 24th, 1984 will not be like 1984. It was on this day that the first commercially successful personal computer to feature a mouse and a graphical user interface rather than a command line interface would be sold. And it was called “Macintosh”. Bill Gates in addition to what he said in the clip above, also said “The next generation of interesting software will be done on the Macintosh, not the IBM PC.” La petite vidéo de Bill Gates est à voir !

C’est vrai que vous devez avoir du charme pour que je vienne vous visiter régulièrement. Car vous avez aussi plein de défauts. Votre site n’est pas très bien fichu. On s’y perd, car vous vendez un peu de tout, de l’avion, des hôtels, des séjours, des voitures… Et pour les trains, votre site fait ses crises. Il ne reconnaît pas bien les noms de villes qu’on lui demande, il se crispe sur les accents, ne veut pas sortir de tranches horaires qu’on lui a demandés à l’origine. C’est un peu long, fastidieux alors qu’il y a mieux à faire.
Du coup, il y a des traîtres à la patrie qui passent par le site internet de la Deutsche Bahn, votre pire ennemi, qu’ils trouvent bien plus simple pour acheter des billets SNCF. Un comble. Faut dire qu’il n’y a pas d’autres choix quand votre boutique baisse le rideau de fer parce que tout a planté dans les arrières cuisines informatiques. Comme cet été au moment des grands départs, plus récemment ou de façon sporadique. 700 000 visiteurs par jour que vous revendiquez. La faute a trop de succès. Et peut-être à des choix techniques pas très heureux. Il y en a qui disent que vous n’auriez pas dû faire confiance à Microsoft. Chère Rachel, avez-vous songé à écrire à son patron ? « Cher Bill Gates, un grand MERCI à vous. Malgré tous les défauts de vos logiciels, nos clients nous ont quand même élu comme leur site préféré ».
We can now add colleges and universities to the list of victims of the financial crisis. The stock-market collapse has badly eroded endowments, forcing schools to suspend capital projects, freeze hiring, rethink need-blind financial-aid policies and cut budgets. The Journal reported this week that Harvard University's giant-killer endowment, which stood at $36.9 billion as of June 30, has lost 22% of its value in the months since and that the university's administration is planning for a 30% decline for the fiscal year ending next June.
"So I started writing down the funnier moments of the day. I keep a jar on my desk, and when the kids say something particularly worthy of recording, I grab a scrap of paper (phone bill, envelope, chopstick holder.. whatever is lying around) and I quickly jot it down. " "The jar is filling up quickly, and when I'm having a below average day, I reach in and pull out a quote.. and suddenly I'm laughing and running to hug my little comedians."
