Vaporlock and high gas prices couldn't stop photographer and book  
artist Georgette Freeman as she crossed and recrossed the continent  
this year, in yet another quest for "[q]uestions never dreamed of at

Freeman's 2008 wanderlust found pause in our neighborhood and she's  
agreed to continue May's discussion of stereo and computational  
photography.  Continue Reading  ?

from Richard Cyganiak.

The information revolution can seem more like an algal bloom of data  
overwhelming us as we try to make sense of it all. We're told it's all

This industrial strength blender will present an eclectic mix of  
speakers who will discuss their application of the network data model  
for various problems in academia and industry.
