Smart Kindergarten

A UCLA professor is working on set of sensors and data-capture applications to record a school classroom in intimate detail. The project webpage has more information; see also an older story. The professor apparently envisions actually deploying these sensors in a classroom next spring, but doesn't mention what school is willing to participate.

    Has Jennifer's Cat Salon gone to the dogs? Proprietor Jennifer Evans let the cat out of the bag earlier today in a CBS exclusive news conference, announcing that she would begin offering dog-related grooming services. I guess it's true that every dog has his day.

    And that's .. part of our world.

      Man, I knew Salon was in trouble and desperately in need of some money-making ideas, but that's just ridiculous.

    Wallops are used to send msges to every IRCop in the Net at once. I use this mode to find out who's hacking what in the net. People wallop the IRCops to help them after their channel was hacked ops and over or got kick off. Usually IRCops don't get involved with channel conflicts.

  5. Black hurricanes by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Do devastating hurricanes need help from affirmative action?

    A member of Congress apparently thinks so, and is demanding the storms be given names that sound "black."

    The congressional newspaper the Hill reported this week that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) feels that the current names are too "lily white," and is seeking to have better representation for names reflecting African-Americans and other ethnic groups.

    "All racial groups should be represented," Lee said, according to the Hill. She hoped federal weather officials "would try to be inclusive of African-American names."

    A sampling of popular names that could be used include Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn, according to the paper. Jackson Lee's call is brewing its own storm of response across America.
