Old Daily Links Archives

This page is somewhat editorial in nature. There is no attempt to be thorough or unbiased in presenting links and associated discussion. This does not necessarily represent my opinions. Our purpose here it to produce something interesting and stimulating. If you enjoy any of the links presented below then we have fulfilled our goal.

There are gaps in the record below. It is difficult to come up with high quality links every day. Items are dated when they first appear. The purpose is not to have a link every day, but rather to date any item that we find interesting.

Some old links might be dead. We preserve them anyway for historical interest. Sometimes the links that are "missing" are more interesting than those which remain.

Items listed under each date are occasionally modified, updated, and corrected from the material which first appeared on the given date.

There are some references to FEREGO. This is some work that I did when I worked at FEREGO. They are gone now.

Sources

It should be noticed that two important sources for a good number of the links listed below are: 1. The Harrumph site. (This site is now redirected to a different site and so some kind of archive needs to be identified to obtain the original source material.) 2. The Isthmus Daily Features page.

You can probably pick through these sites mentioned above and find many more interesting things.

Daily Listings

Daily listings of interesting things are given below.

Here are thousands of suggestions for band names. It is called Ten Thousand Statistically Grammar-Average Fake Band Names. Do any of these sound like bands you may have heard?

It has been about a year since any interesting links were reported in this column. We are making this entry to keep this column alive. Various compendiums of work have appeared at other locations in our web pages, and in particular the "web pages with attitude" is a place to find some interesting and funny items.

Blogs. We like compiling blog links. Of course there is no shortage. These are now a small collection here and a small collection there. Maybe at some time we will present a grand compilation of links. It is probably only a question of time.

Here are some of the blog links: [1] [2] [3]

It's the last day of the year.

Financial. There's a zillion financial links. (We might collate more in some future article.) Wall $treet Week with FORTUNE PBS presents PBS coverage of many events, and many items covered are never seen on so called "commercial air." The title of this article on new world disorder is pretty catchy. The term world disorder is maybe better than "world order".

Nice pictures from an amazing time. Einstein-Image and Impact. AIP History Center exhibit.

There are some pictures here from an amazing era in science and physics. Many of the greats: Bohr, Schrodinger, Einstein, and more are shown here in group photos. A friend of mine once commented "imagine the brainpower when these people gathered." The picture of Einstein with a hat on is classic.

These pictures are from a different era and time. These are from a time the likes of which we probably will not see again for quite some time.

There was more progress in physics in the few short years that these men were alive than there was in all previous history.

Nikola Tesla. With a man of Thomas Edison's accomplishments, it is amazing that a fellow like Tesla was remembered at all. Hey, are you AC or DC? [1] [2] [3] [4]

One area of dispute between Tesla and Edison was on the issue of commutation. It was the DC motor that had a commutator, and commutation was something that Tesla succeeded in eliminating in his early work on ac motors.

Years ago supposedly FEREGO had a high quality Java programmer who created this applet. It's always hard to figure out what to call this stuff and we had the fun of trying to come up with a name. We almost called this something like Space Crystals or Laser Space Speckle or Space Spark Opera. Or maybe this should be given a reference like Starry Night, although we'd be lucky to gain fame in that "high art" league. We'll stick with "A snowy evening" and "he gives his harness bells a shake". We also almost called this "Posted Frosted Flakes".

Captain Scott's Electric Love Bunker.

I have always been impressed with original names and with any kind of original art. I couldn't come up with a name like this in a million years.

Interesting links for Wednesday Dec. 4, 2002

George Westinghouse did much pioneering work in railroads and electricity. Are there any analogies to today? The internet could be said to be a railroad carrying information goods, and the gods of the internet today are much like the railroad magnates of 70-100 years ago. Is there anything we can learn from history?

Bloggers are cool. They almost do all the work for you and all you have to do is type. They do the formatting and most bloggers also pay for the site, so it turns out to be completely free. The catch is that they use your content for their adds - fair enough maybe. This is the first blogger that I had been aware of. It is interesting to see how this is updated even every minute. There are numerous other bloggers on the web now.

FEREGO conducts extensive research into the Brady Bunch. This link provides helpful information, and you can read up on any episodes that you might have missed.

May the source be with you. A lot of really fresh ideas come from the excellent student newspaper Isthmus The Daily Page. We also find many interesting references to really fresh websites at The Daily Page Features Sites Web.
