A conversation with Greg Wilson about doing HPC right

My guest on Innovators this week is Greg Wilson. We share common interests in collaboration and Python, but neither of those topics was the focus of this conversation. Instead, we discussed Greg’s unique and somewhat curmudgeonly take on high-performance computing. In his view, the HPC industry has focused on achieving bigger and faster computation at [...]

Caroline Arms on digital formats for long-term preservation

My guest for this week’s Perspectives show is Caroline Arms, a digital preservation pioneer at the Library of Congress. She’s a leading student and promoter of digital formats for long-term preservation. It was fascinating to hear her take on the interplay between the reality of market forces and the interests of cultural preservation. From the Library’s [...]

Could there be an association of URL-shortening services?

The creator of a new URL-shortening service, urlborg, recently wrote to me to announce some new features. There are, at this point, quite a few of these URL-shortening services. I’m sure each has differentiating features, but before I explore the differences I’d like to see a new and important kind of commonality. Each of these services [...]

Semi-structured database records for social tagging

In my writeup on MIT’s Project Simile, and again in my talk at the CUSEC conference, I lauded an approach to collective information management that respects our actual linguistic nature. People don’t normally create vocabularies by committee. Rather, we absorb, imitate, innovate, and negotiate the vocabularies we use. Simile embraces that reality. It encourages people [...]

On this week’s Interviews with Innovators show I spoke with two of its creators, Gabriel Dance and Shan Carter, about that project, and about some of their other work including the stunning Faces of the [...]

Where is WinFS now? Quentin Clark explains.

In 2004 I interviewed Quentin Clark, who led the WinFS effort, for an InfoWorld cover story on Longhorn. We had dinner recently, and Quentin made a surprising remark. He said that although WinFS never shipped, many of the underlying technologies already have. I wanted to hear more. So, on this week’s Perspectives show, Quentin expounds at [...]

Computational thinkers make good body hackers

Sean McGrath’s report on coping with RSI reminded me of a couple of things. First, I need to find out whether the chair-mounted split keyboard shown here is still available. It’s been hugely helpful to me over the years, but I’m not sure it can be replaced at this point, and that would suck. (Update: Uh [...]
