Lovely Place

I think the article Visualizing Email Content: Portraying Relationships from Conversational Histories is very interesting.
The point I like the most is the one made about the keywords used to allow visualization of email archives.
Of course Chapeau! The project is worth admiration, though it needs further development.
I believe one of the best things at MIT and Harvard are the social components, and the spirit of group or team work. I went to Cambridge, Boston, last summer to accompany my daughter in her first week summer internship at Harvard, and I was impressed by this social dimension over there. You feel the same kind of human warmth in Paris. There are musicians playing and singing in the streets... and you can sense the close relationship between artists and civilization or urbanization. You can listen to an interesting TV interview with Judith Donath here

Congratulations to Irvika for her website. See you tomorrow.

Thank you for sharing that very interesting interview with Judith Donath, it is precisely about some of the important issues we have discussed, or at least brought up to our attention. She is very articulate and so composed when talking about things that are completely changing our lives in ways we cannot fathom.

And yet we get together to share the embodiment of the human experience, before our atoms are completely disintegrated into bits!

Cheers!
