KnowledgeMiner comes to Mac OS X: "The application [...] is a neural network analysis program that takes inputs and results for systems and derives equations that describe the results in terms of the inputs. [...] This extracted knowledge can be directly used to improve model results, to get new insights into the system, and to aid decisions." [MacCentral]

More on open access to scientific data: "Let's go beyond open access for computers to open access for cell phones. That was the inspiration that seized Björn Ursing, a genomics researcher at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute. He has now created WiGID (Wireless Genome Information Database), a database providing open --and wireless-- access to the genome sequences of all 117 sequenced organisms. As new organisms are sequenced, WiGID will incorporate their data as well. Mauno Vihinen of the University of Tampere, Finland, has taken the idea a step further with BioWAP, a wireless gateway to more traditional open-access databases." [FOS News]

Cognitive Correlations: 'Sometimes the obvious just knocks you on the head and you think, "Why didn't I do this earlier?" Douglas Hafstadter is one of my favorite writers. Until I read his work, I thought the way I strap thoughts together and converse was rare.' [Private Ink]

Weblogs on the borderline of control and chaos -- Comment()
I collected some of the recent discussions into a story titled Weblogs on the borderline of control and chaos. The story text is draft version 0.1, so all comments are welcome. Update: I edited the text slightly for clarity (version 0.11), and added some ideas taken from the search functionality of Amazon.com (version 0.12). I received a long comment from Michelle Legare at Private Ink (thanks!), but haven't yet had time to think about it.
