Two Web 2.0 Tools Behind the Scenes: TZO and Carbonite
I usually write about applications that are very visible to web users. In this post, I will look a bit behind the scenes at tow products. First there is TZO. Most web sites are supported by multiple servers, even small firms quickly graduate beyond a single server as traffic builds. Optimizing load balancing has usually meant an expensive hardware purchase with associated implementation and administration costs, limiting access to these resources to large enterprises with big IT. Recently I talked with with Chris Cook, the Director of sales and Marketing at TZO, a Boston-based firm that is offering load balancing as an on-demand software service at dramatically reduced price points.
Individual-Based Models
Individual-Based Models
an annotated list of links
by Craig Reynolds
Individual-based models are simulations based on the global consequences of local interactions of members of a population. These individuals might represent plants and animals in ecosystems, vehicles in traffic, people in crowds, or autonomous characters in animation and games. These models typically consist of an environment or framework in which the interactions occur and some number of individuals defined in terms of their behaviors (procedural rules) and characteristic parameters. In an individual-based model, the characteristics of each individual are tracked through time. This stands in contrast to modeling techniques where the characteristics of the population are averaged together and the model attempts to simulate changes in these averaged characteristics for the whole population. Individual-based models are also known as entity or agent based models, and as individual/entity/agent-based simulations.

Designing Visualizations for Time-Based Data
Most interaction designers understand the concept of timelines and other time-based data. Blogs, calendars, and to-do lists are all examples of time-based data. However, if you are trying to fit 400 data points into a 1024 x 726 screen you'll quickly see how challenging time-base data can be. Currently, many interaction designers are turning to visualizations to overcome many of the issues associated with this form of data representation. Below you'll find a list of some of the best time-based visualizations on the web. More...

Out-of-place artefacts 11 and 12: crystal skulls and ‘model aeroplanes’ from South America
11 The crystal skulls of Central America
A number of skulls, each allegedly carved from crystal and found in Central America, have been touted as evidence for advanced technology in the past and, much more incongruously, as evidence for unexpected anatomical knowledge. The most famous is that said to have been found in 1924 (or 1927) by Frederick Albert (or Arthur, depending on which of his books is used as a source) Mitchell-Hedges (1882-1959, also known occasionally as Mike Hedges) in Lubaantun, Belize, where the British Museum had been conducting excavations under the direction of Thomas Athol Joyce (1878-1942). Lubaantun is a late Classic ceremonial centre dated 700-900 CE. Despite Mitchell-Hedges’s autobiographical claims to have discovered and excavated the city under an exclusive twenty-year concession, it had been known for some time. Moreover, he was sponsored by the Daily Mail and was reporting on the British Museum’s fieldwork, not running any. He was therefore in no position to donate the finds to various museums in Britain, as he claimed in the 1950s. Even the date of discovery is confused: Anna Mitchell-Hedges recalled its date as coinciding with her seventeenth birthday in 1927, yet Frederick claimed never to have returned to the site after 1926.

Boffin stacks 16 PS3s to simulate black hole collisions | Register Hardware
The 16 PS3s haven't been physically modified. They're networked together using an inexpensive Gigabit Ethernet switch.
"Overall, a single PS3 performs better than the highest-end desktops available and compares to as many as 25 nodes of an IBM Blue Gene supercomputer," Khanna noted.
