    This seems like an interesting step towards open government, if gentle. I read about the site on someone's blog and decided to check it out. It purports to present problems to the public for them to solve hand in hand with the government.

    This is an interesting idea. Essentially it is an open fiber network that internet service providers have the option of providing service on. It is sparking lots of debate due to is Private/Public funding. It is something that I would like to keep my eye on.

    Fascinating and spiritual history of our current version of the LDS Scriptures. There were many many people who worked on the project. The Church got a lot of public input on the making of these scriptures. You might say they are "open source", or that they were made with an agile process. Even the Bible Dictionary was taken from Cambridge University and they let the Church take their Bible Dictionary and make amendments to it.

  • overlap between the stenographic and computer geek worlds is bafflingly small, considering how vital efficient text entry is to virtually every tech field
  • on-commercial applications for stenographic technology.
  • into any X window using a $45 off-the-shelf keyboard.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Steno is the only text input system that’s functionally equivalent to conversational human speech.
  • wearable computing is unlikely to really take off until we get the head-mounted display issue worked out, and I don’t currently have any idea of how to make that happen on a practical level.

      which is why TypeWell which expands words when you type all the consonants is so much easier to remember. Plus you can program your own abbreviations. It' makes mroe sense for the general public. And how are Deaf/ HoH people supposed to learn the phonetic system of what to them is a foreign language? That seems a bit short sighted to me.
