That’s some pretty sweet fractal math
Gadgets: Electronic Contact Lenses Give Future You Crazy Eyesight, Heads-up Display
Wow, I totally did a group final project in my ICAM 130 class conjecturing the implications of just such a device — at the time, purely a figment of our imaginations. The project wasn’t that great, but I’m still totally excited for the inevitability of contact lens displays.

Tom Hodgkinson on the politics of the people behind Facebook

Wow. After 9/11… in 1999.
Blatant errors, biases, and omissions aside, this rant is a very interesting take against Facebook. Taken with a few grains of salt it may even be useful. I think it’s important to consider the fundamental philosophies and world-views of something’s founder’s and backers.

ZFS on OS X
Now that there are New Binaries and Source for ZFS on OS X I have finally been able to run through this handy ZFS Tutorial.

It’s only a matter of time before I’m running the ultimate home file server/media server/NAS on a quiet little Mac Mini. In the mean time, does anyone out there want me to build an OpenSolaris file server cluster for their organization? :-)
