Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain.
Wow, neat! Processing 1.0 |

Last year I became the first journalist in the conference’s 24-year history to be thrown out of TED. The story is not a particularly glorious one, either for myself or for the organisers of TED, but I feel since a year has passed it is time to tell all. Excuse me if it sounds a little self-indulgent, but I feel the tale contains an important point about the way the conference is organised.
Haven't even finished this thing, but what a great lead in... The nasty truth about TED :: Edmund Conway |

tlanta’s condominium market was so hot a few years ago, an entire building would presell in a matter of weeks. Element at Atlantic Station in Midtown was one of those must-have properties. Its 322 units were all under contract months before the building opened. Even a fire that destroyed the partially built project in July 2005 failed to dim Element’s appeal. Just one contract was canceled, and Element was rebuilt. But those supposed sales were a mirage. Half of Element’s buyers abandoned their contracts, and today the developer, the Lane Co., still owns 35 percent of the units. Now Lane wants to shed a bunch of those Element homes all at one time. Boston-based Accelerated Marketing Partners will auction 40 units Feb. 28 at the W Atlanta downtown.

Dan Kaminsky was in Atlanta yesterday. We and some of the usual suspects met for food and drinks at the Vortex in midtown. Some odd/funny things were said, and To keep track, I kept SMSing myself so I could preserve these for posterity. Chris: I'm going to create Nemisis-oasis. Its the inverse of Match.com and Facebook. You type in what you like and it finds someone that you would absolutely hate.
Dan: Its like a Fuck You Cupid! Tom: (handing me a girlie drink) Here Billy, this will make hair grow on your vagina. (I have no context for this next quote. I have no idea why Tom said this)
Tom: I can only get off if the sheep is from Luxembourg
Billy: I'm totally putting this on Memestreams... how do you spell Luxembourg? Tom: (About a computer scientist at a recent conference) They're proof that every now and then Appalachia produces something good. So its: Bucked Toothed Redneck, Bucked Toothed Redneck, Bucked Toothed Redneck, Cryptographer, Bucked Toothed Redneck... A night of drinks |

directthought is proud to announce the development of a native iPhone application to access and control Amazon's EC2. You'll be able to keep tabs on your EC2 resource (instances, volumes, etc.) using this application running on your iPhone. Because it is a native application, it doesn't rely on any other server. All you rely on are your iPhone, Amazon's servers and your internet connection. This application is under development and has been tested on the iPhone and iPod touch. We're posting some preliminary screen shots. These are subject to change as the application is refined prior to release.
