These are a few sites I thought were interesting from June 13th through June 17th:
- The Mundaneum Museum Honors the First Concept of the World Wide Web – NYTimes.com – “this will be the radiated library and the televised book” – a quote from Otlet about his system. BTW, “Mundaneum” is a great alternate name for the WWW
- The Library in the New Age – The New York Review of Books – A more nuanced and bibliophilic reading than Carr’s of the effect of Google (and earlier information tech, like books) on how we think
- Is Google Making Us Stupid? – Nicholas Carr finds that Google is creating artificial intelligence — our own brains’
- Why women quit technology careers – Why? Because there’s too much machismo among geeks. Seriously
- Meteorites are rich in the building blocks of life, claims new research – Amino acids found in meteorites, and analysis of their carbon content shows the acids could only have formed in space.
- Developers at WWDC Looking Forward to iPhone 3G Platform | Gadget Lab from Wired.com –
- WWDC Keynote: Steve Jobs Announces a $200, 3G iPhone | Gadget Lab from Wired.com – Wired.com’s coverage of the keynote. I was the guy who did all the typing.
- War Photog Blends Video, Stills for New Combat Views | Danger Room from Wired.com – Awesome gadget: little video camera sits on top of photographer’s lens, so you can watch from his point of view as he shoots stills in warzones
