Trying to somehow utilize 3d acceleration to make GUIs better has been around for a while…

My sister lives down in Knoxville Tn. They have a news station there called WNOX, and a website to go along with it at newstalk99.com. They just sent out a huge broadcast a while ago announcing their new move to 100 and the change of name to NewsTalk100. Unfortunately the guy who was in charge of securing newstalk100.com must have been sick that day because someone saw the broadcast and apparently registered it and is recording the number of hits it recieves. The new NewsTalk100 site. Word on the street is that someone is going to use it to sell an improved breed of corn seed they’ve called the “New Stalk 100.”

Did you know that the most expensive procedure in terms of the physican’s labor (and most expensive overall including several other factors) is the “repair of a diaphragm hernia.”

Nathan Mabry, a friend of mine who finds lots of semi-valuable tidbits of goofy information online found something this morning which he tried to explain to me on the way to work. It’s a new way of folding T-shirts which allows the folder to complete the fold in half the time.

This is another article I came across before, of which I was reminded, today. So I did some searching to find the article again. It is one man’s thesis that the way our mind perceives things is a function of harmonic resonance within a neural network rather than a feed-forward-like neural network which he calls the Neuron Doctrine.

I’ve always been intrigued by number patterns and patterns of prime numbers in particular, and pi, so I found this article about a man named Srinivasa Ramanujan, a man who lived a century ago and was likewise intrigued, though, much more so. Another article gives some examples some of the patterns Ramanujan was able to find. His work on what he calls “partitions” is fascinating.
