00:04 < nsh-> hot purple girl is hot and purple
00:04 < nsh-> :-)
00:05 < kanzure> she's Creative Commons
00:05 < kanzure> she mentioned she does 8k miles in 10 days of flying
00:06 < nsh-> that's insane
00:06 < kanzure> me, Joseph Jackson, Jim Hardy, Chris P (does biogerontology stuff ;-), and I have no idea what her name was
00:06  * nsh- nods
00:26 < kanzure> heh
00:26 < kanzure> so the other day I was talking with a grad student from Stanford 
00:26 < kanzure> he does quantum optics
00:26 < kanzure> I think I mentioned it in here
00:27 < kanzure> so I was talking with him and he mentioned he does quantum optics
00:27 < kanzure> and my eyes went up in flames
00:27 < nsh-> hmmm
00:27 < nsh-> what does he do in particular?
00:27 < kanzure> and I asked him if he knew Nathan Lundblad, 
00:27 < kanzure> (light squeezing)
00:28 < kanzure> and he laughed :)
00:28 < kanzure> because he indeed does know Nathan
00:28 < kanzure> I don't care what area of science you are in, but,
00:28 < kanzure> for me to be able to tell you who your friends are just off of hearing what general area of physics you are in
00:28 < kanzure> is pretty damn awesome :)
00:29  * nsh- chuckles
00:29 < nsh-> i forget what light squeezing means..

00:48 < kanzure> aha, Kaitlin
00:53 < procto> kanzure: re our previous discussion of HMMs, look up bernoulli processes
00:53 < procto> now I'm off :>
00:53 < kanzure> blah, not a good time
00:53  * kanzure is sending out emails to everyone he met at BioBarCamp
00:55  * nsh- contemplates cyberstalking her
00:55 < nsh-> (joke. that would be a poor use of my time)

01:16 < kanzure> "hip hop recursion"
01:17 < nsh-> sounds interesting
01:17 < kanzure> http://www.vim-vigor.net/implant.htm
01:17 < kanzure> 'These implants are neodymium earth magnets, encased in metal (stainless steel for the larger, gold for the smaller), and then encased in implant grade silicone.  The one on the left went into my upper left forearm, and the one on the right went into the distal pad of my left ring finger.'
01:18 < nsh-> wtf

01:22 < kanzure> huh, Todd follows Silona
01:22 < kanzure> bah, I have to go find my twitter scripts
01:22 < kanzure> https://twitter.com/ToddHuffman/
01:22 < kanzure> to auto import or something
01:30 < kanzure> heh
01:30 < kanzure> I actually called the script 'twstalk'

01:46 < kanzure> she helps to organize Maker Faire in Austin.

02:22 < biopunk> About the implants, those are considered 'functional body modifications'... one can feel electromagnetical fields in the fingertip. There is a small thread about at biopunk: http://www.biopunk.org/23c3-body-hacking-t38.html
02:25 < elias`>  Last time I read about someone with such implants their casing had broken within a few months, leaving the person without the sense and magnetic particles in a scar tissue.
02:33 < biopunk> That's probably Quinn Norton, the one in the youtube clip

03:38 < kanzure> oh
03:38 < kanzure> pete pointed out something stupidly obvious to me
03:39 < kanzure> note that Google AdSense generates a list of suggested terms that you might use
03:39 < kanzure> whatever that method is, is what I want for the semantic search facilitator thingy
03:45 < elias`> kanzure: how do you currently filter and discover relevant information to read?
03:46 < kanzure> elias`: filter? I read 500+ blogs. This is /not/ filtering. This is "read or die".
03:47 < elias`> not everything's going to be relevant out of those
03:54 < elias`> anyway, based on my experiences, I think there's a significant potential for automation using e.g. a multi-agent system to crawl the Web, seeking/tracking relevant sources of information.
03:55 < elias`> and I'm just using about 50 RSS feeds as of now
04:02 < fenn> dear lazyweb why would you stick a magnet in your fingertip?
04:03 < fenn> there are these things called spectrum analyzers that are more useful, cost less, you can share results with others and do data analysis, etc etc
04:13 < kanzure> yes, I do crawling somewhat
04:13 < kanzure> elias`: http://heybryan.org/projects/autoscholar/
04:26 < elias`> just recently got access to similar things through uni. Possibly unknown knowledge dependencies and a general lack of information about relevant things to look for make it difficult to find what I want
04:28 < elias`> So currently I'm mostly focused on publicly available things like mailing lists, newsletters, RSS feeds, etc.
04:32 < kanzure> right
07:46  * nsh filters using kanzure v0.8
