Missing Missy

Vetle — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 15:28:26 +0000

26b/6 or (26bslash6 if you will) has a lot of entertainment in for you if you have small troll inside. Not a really vicious one though – just a happy, sometimes cute, always funny, little troll that has become quite the internet celebrity ever since Simon’s Pie Charts hit the blogosphere a while back.

StoryCorps

From storycorps.org: StoryCorps is an independent nonprofit whose mission is to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives. Since 2003, StoryCorps has collected and archived more than 30,000 interviews from more than 60,000 participants. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
There’s a great deal of highly interesting material collected, and the importance of such a library cannot be measured or compared to anything. Some of the stories are very personal, and I sometimes find myself left with a sense of gratitude for being let in on the highlights of other people’s lives. This one here is a good example, it might make your eyes moist:

A world-wide version of StoryCorps would be beautiful.

The United States of Supercomputers

Vetle — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 20:20:27 +0000

Without counting secret machines, this is the state of supercomputing in the world: The United States’ government, companies, and universities have more computing power than the rest of the world combined. Each square within each country represents one supercomputer. (gizmodo)

I already knew the basic outlines of these proportions, and can’t say I am surprised by the US’ dominance. I didn’t expect to see Switzerland up there though, nor Saudi. And where are the aussies?
