That’s Greg McG, Dr JuliaD, LisaB, and me, doing martinis at the JuliaD Defense Party
Jula D is now Dr. Clevergirl, PhD.! It was a great little celebration afterwards. JuliaD is my first student (from a grad course at OISE in 2002) to get a PhD. She says “Now I have to plan out the rest of my life. I guess.” Wonder what that will do.
JuliaD has a post about the JhaiPC which is doing from a bottom up perspective what the OLPC is doing from the top down. She and I have been following them for a while, her more than me, and it will be nice to compare the two projects. JhaiPC uses much more local input and […]

Got this from Don’t forget your shovel. and So High School – a thaumaturgical compendium
JuliaD sent along The world on your desktop | Economist.com has some neat stuff about Google Earth and other similar tools: “It’s turning into a map of historical significance.” And they’re a little bit scary. And JuliaD’s brother wrote it!!! Of course I’m just submitting a funding proposal today that deals with google earth. Wish […]
