articles · The dice painting analogy for emerging ideas
29/10/2007 17:20 · 31 votes · no comments
We tell each other that order really does emerge from chaos, that when we network a lot of pieces that don’t seem to belong to each other and the pieces form a pattern, the whole becomes more than the sum of the parts.

articles · That’s my daughter, underwater

The image above shows a girl, watched by a couple of avid younger observers, as she captures fish images in the Montreal Canada Biodome. My title for this article is a slight variation of a line from a song in this summer’s hit movie “Knocked Up.” The movie’s credits that roll at the end are illustrated with a delightful series of images of the actors and cinema personnel with their...

articles · On Sputnik's 50th birthday remembering it inspired education
by Judy Breck: goldenswamp.com · commented on 6/10/2007 18:24 · 38 votes · 2 comments
