    A reply on Talk: Dave Eggers' wish: Once Upon a School

    Jun 8 2009: Nicholas, I see that you are pushing the same advertisement post on all education related speeches. If you are so interested in this idea of yours (the level system), I would encourage you to stop posting ads, and instead develop your idea. :)

    It is not a bad idea, but again many ideas are good. How would it work? How would you transition from the current K-class model to a level model? How would you handle the notion of prerequisites, the specializations? Etc. I do not need an answer to these questions. I just think you should DEVELOP your idea, before asking people to spend time looking at it (because right now, there is little to see honestly).

    What made 826 Valencia work was that they did not spend their time speaking about it. They did it.

    Work on this, and then people will probably react to what you show. Who knows? It might be the next big thing... if you work on it, not if you make it the next spam factor :)

    A comment on Talk: Pete Alcorn on the world in 2200

    Jun 8 2009: We need to add some other qualifiers for the ratings. This view is interesting, just not developed enough. The idea that a declining population would invert some dynamics is not a bad one, and not one often discussed. The idea that transitions are dangerous times is a much more common idea, but would deserve being discussed in the context of population decline.

    In summary, Mr Alcorn. This is interesting, but a bit light. Like a great plant cut before it was fully grown. Tell us more.

  • A comment on Talk: Johnny Lee demos Wii Remote hacks

    Apr 26 2008: Absolutely awe-inspiring. What is even more impressive is that, as for most "democratizations", it has been followed with a host of other "innovations", such as face tracking, etc. by other individuals who have piggy-baked on Johnny's creation.
