Good post, Here is a post I developed as part of a series titled The Internet of Things. It is surprising that QR codes have taken this long to reach America and be adopted by the advertising crowd. Apparently, they don’t know a good thing when they se…

阿彌陀佛 無相佈施<br /><br /><br />不要吃五辛(葷菜，在古代宗教指的是一些食用後會影響性情、慾望的植<br />物，主要有五種葷菜，合稱五葷，佛家與道家所指有異。<br /><br />近代則訛稱含有動物性成分的餐飲食物為「葷菜」，事實上這在古代是稱<br />之為腥。所謂「葷腥」即這兩類的合稱。 葷菜<br />維基百科，自由的百科全書<br />（重定向自五辛） 佛家五葷<br /><br />在佛家另稱為五辛，五種辛味之菜。根據《楞嚴經》記載，佛家五葷為大<br />蒜、小蒜、興渠、慈蔥、茖蔥；五葷生啖增恚，使人易怒；熟食發淫，令<br />人多慾。[1]<br /><br />《本草備要》註解云：「慈蔥，冬蔥也；茖蔥，山蔥也；興渠，西域菜，云<br />即中國之荽。」<br /><br />興渠另說為洋蔥。) 肉 蛋 奶?!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />念楞嚴經 *∞窮盡相關 消去無關 證據 時效 念阿彌陀佛往生西方極樂世界<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />我想製造自己的行為反作用力<br />不婚 不生子女 生生世世不當老師<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />log 二0.3010 三0.47710.48 五0.6990 七0.8451 .85<br />root 二1.414 1.41 三1.732 1.73五 2.236 2.24七 2.646<br />=>十3.16 π∈Q’ 一點八1.34

This is kind of the opposite of what I need.<br /><br />Usually when I have a possession in my hand, I already know all I need to about it. I think that’s why Google’s “Goggles” program isn’t more than a curiosity to me.<br /><br />The problem I have is actually storing and then retrieving objects. If I could just store objects in ramdom bins, and then have a system for finding the objects when needed (as in Cory Doctorow’s “Makers”), I’d be very happy.<br /><br />But I think that would require, at a minimum, RFIDs. And even better would be a GPS receiver for every item so that it knows where it is. We need more Moore’s Law time to pass by.

Yep thats the kind of application we hope people will use it for – as for the price point, its free :)<br /><br />Access for the blind is high on our list as well, we will have news soon as we can.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment.<br /><br />Andy

Can’t follow on tweet (corporate censorship) but this would be fabulous for tagging/archiving/attributing paintings and art ….<br /><br /> one tag could then let people leave comments on a painting specific blog… see the changing interpretations of aesthetics over the years …no more titles in the gallery, just the labelink on the wall, wonder what data a curator/restorer would want included ….<br /><br />is the price point feasible? Can it be embossed for the blind to know that it exists -maybe a discrete beep sent to the “inow” device, people could leave notes to themselves, or others like dogs sniffing their territory markers ….we live within the computer now

NYC Yellow Cabs have GPS fitted to them which have been tracked for the past year or so… anyway, there is an excellent article on this in the New York Times with obligatory map visualization:

I am very excited by the massive expansion of Google Street View, and is a good opportunity to present my street chronology:

1988-1990
Alnmouth, Northumberland

1990-1993

What’s the data source for this visualization? Is it available for download?

This paper reports on a cross-cultural outreach activity of the current UK ‘Spatial Literacy in Teaching’ (SPLINT) Centre of Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), a past UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) grant, and shared interests in family names between Japanese and UK academics. It describes a pedagogic programme developed for Japanese postgraduates and advanced undergraduates that entailed quantitative and qualitative analysis of the spatial distributions of Japanese family names. The authors describe some specific semantic, procedural and theoretical issues and, more generally, suggest how names analysis provides a common framework for engaging student interest in GIS.
