IEEE Intelligent Systems Editorials

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

I used to post my editorials here, but in the past few months I’ve finally migrated them to RPI, so please look for my new editorial, entitled “We’ve come a long way, maybe…”  at the RPI Tetherless World Weblog.

Reinventing Academic Publishing – Part III

Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

This is a preprint of the third, and I’m happy to say final, entry in my “Reinventing Academic Publishing” trilogy.  There is a lot more to be said on this topic, and I suspect I’ll be one of the people saying it, but for now it’s time for me to stop writing about it and […]

..but wait, Rachel’s one of the good folks

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

In my blog of a couple days ago, I said what set me off was a blog by Rachel.  Let me be clear, I was in no way disagreeing with her view of the Semantic Web - if you read between the flaming, you’ll see I totally endorse her view — what I didn’t like […]

Shirkyng my responsibility

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

OK, I’ve finally gotten angry enough that I feel compelled to respond to something written over 4 years ago — the much quoted and, forgive me, totally misguided, blog entry by Clay Shirky in which he totally mischaracterized some of what Tim Berners-Lee, Ora Lassila, and I said in the 2001 Scientific American article, which […]

Here’s a pre-edited preprint of my editorial for the next issue of IEEE Intelligent Systems. I welcome your comments - Jim H.
=======================
Intelligent Readers,
While it is generally considered tacky to quote one’s self, recently I’ve been involved in several activities and discussions I’d like to share with you. These largely arose from a column […]

Science FOO Camp 2007 (Scifoo 07)

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Given my travel schedule I have no idea when I’ll actually get a chance to do justice to this meeting (probably never), but thought I’d do a quick shot to get some things online-
first, for those who don’t know what it is, Scifoo is a gathering of a relatively random collection of people, mostly scientists […]

Airport and Time Warners Road Runner

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

(apologies to those picking this up on the Semantic Web list, it’s not related)
I searched for information that would be of help when connecting an airport wireless router for a modern home network (i.e. multiple laptops, wifi aware devices, airport express music, etc.) to Time Warner’s Road Runner cable, but was not successful in finding […]
