• Thinkering: A New Model for Biotechnology

  
  healthcare epistemocrat — Authority: 119
  Theres a Biomedical Mutual Organization (BMO) taking shape. I suspect William Baines and Seth Roberts would agree. It may still be in the start-up stages, but its building momentum as we speak. I envision, perceive, and actively participate in (thankfully and luckily) an intriguing and innovative ...

• Health Care Reform and Its Unintended Consequences

  
  2parse — Authority: 129
  I said I was going to make a point of noting solid criticisms of the Obama administration by mainstream conservatives and right wingers. Mona Charen of the National Review wrote a solid piece that didn’t resort to blatant falsehoods as far as I could tell that made a solid case against health care reform. Her ...

• TheShelfHimself by Jörg Schatzmann

  
  Lost In A Supermarket — Authority: 140
  Love the bold lines of this flatpack shelf. It’s a great minimalist / modern look that won’t look out of place next to more contemporary furniture as well as with classic modernist furniture by someone like Eames, etc. The word timeless comes to mind. Jörg Schatzmann is all about DIY / tinkering, low / no ...

• n=1 Self-Experimentation Positioning: How to Not be Fooled by Randomness

  
  healthcare epistemocrat — Authority: 119
  Living in a world that we dont understand is a humbling, human endeavor. The history of science and the history of medicine teach us that causation is murky, at best, and that things often work for reasons that we dont understand. People have been tackling this conundrum for many years, in various ways, and there ...

  The End in Mind — Authority: 92
  John Seely Brown is visited the BYU Campus today and gave a compelling talk about Homo sapiens , Homo faber , and Homo ludens .

• What’s Happening Now: Hashtags on Twitter Lists

  
  OUseful.Info, the blog... — Authority: 507
  So over the last few days, there’s been so much chat around the roll out of official Twitter lists that some people have probably even blogged about them. Ad hoc lists (aka ‘groups’) have been available for some time on a variety of twitter clients, of course, but now there’s ‘central support’ so it ...

• Proverbial Knowledge: Clinical Wisdom in the Art of Living as a Patient of One

  
  healthcare epistemocrat — Authority: 119
  An epistemocrat is a Patient of One clinician in the practice of n=1 philosophy, in the bricolage (and meritage) of self-experiments (clinical trials) with lifestyle design and m=1 my-thology . Its ancestral, proverbial knowledge in the clinical practice of leading lives (not careers): taking general ...

  plognark.com — Authority: 103

I possess an analytical mind thats allowed me to learn multiple programming languages more or less self ...

• Water Rocket Fun

  
  My Home Among The Hills — Authority: 119
  I am sitting here at Panera (yes…again…I know, I should go to work some) looking out at the dark rain clouds rolling in and wishing that we would get a bunch more days of nice weather.  I have always loved Summer.  I sort of dread the coming of Winter and Fall. I was thinking about some of  the things ...

• CyanogenMOD back with 4.2.1 stable release

  
  Gadgetsteria — Authority: 586
  Looking back but a mere month ago, hearing the word “CyanogenMOD” meant sadness and sorrow as it was at that time Google sent Mr “Mod a cease-and-desist order because of his Android tinkering. Thankfully a common ground was reached and Cyanogen could continue on pleasing many Android tinkers across the world. ...

• Craftsmanship and Time

  
  Times New Rohan — Authority: 115
  My wife’s parents came to stay with us for a spell (Sorry about that I’ve been watching Firefly), and when they visit we often go out and about. It’s great when they come to visit because I wind up doing things I wouldn’t think to do on my own. On this outing Ed and I paid a visit to the Australian Maritime ...

• Treemapping Council Committees Using OpenlyLocal Data

  
  OUseful.Info, the blog... — Authority: 507
  Some time ago, I started exploring how treemap representations might be used to provide a quick overview of the make-up of the membership of local council committees ( Glanceable Committee Memberships with Treemaps ).

• Getting Started with data.gov.uk, Triplr SPARYQL and Yahoo Pipes

  
  OUseful.Info, the blog... — Authority: 507
  RDF, SPARQL and the semantic web are too scarey for mortals, right? So here’s a hopefully easier way in for those of us who are put off by the syntactic nightmare that defines the world of formal Linked Data: Yahoo Pipes :-) A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to get one of the developer preview keys for ...

  OUseful.Info, the blog... — Authority: 507
  Several weeks ago, I put in an entry to the JISC MOSAIC Library Data Competition based on a couple of earlier hacks I’d put together that were built around @daveyp’s MOSAIC API wrapper the competition dataset. Here’s the howto… First thing to note is that the application built on stuff I’d posted about ...

• Tinkering Through the Tulips: Container Gardening Can Beautify Any Space

  
  Gardening Seeds Guide — Authority: 438
  When you think about gardens, what comes to mind? Lush, green lawns? Vibrant flowerbeds bursting with a kaleidoscope of color? Or maybe exotic plants for as far as the eye can see? Once upon a time, those things were some of the only characteristics of a garden. To have a garden, you had to have land to spare. But not ...

• Topical, Hyperlocal DeliTV for Local People

  
  OUseful.Info, the blog... — Authority: 507
  It is said that “fortune favours the prepared mind”, or at least the mildy obsessing one, so when I saw @danbri’s post on Local Video for Local People and realised that it was trivial to get hold of geocoded Youtube videos within a certain distance of a specified location using the following Youtube API call: ...
