I found the pocketmod and thinking rock to be novel approaches to data collection and analysis. That's why I hangout here, you guys are fountains of information.
Aside: anyone seen the movie The Fountain Its visual and thought provoking. It gets a mild recommendation. Cont: But...I have to acknowledge that I have a mild case of dyslexia and it has been a life impediment in reading for academics. I have been an A student; except in English, where it had been C+. Then I got a computer and I got my first A in College English. Score one for the computer. My minor point is that I have been a visual learner all of my life and that can only take you so far academically. I am NOT crying. I've had a great life and done challenging things: whether its Nuclear Missile siting in Germany or Topographic Surveying on Pikes Peak, CO; but...fieldwork has limits also. Mainly associated with age and physical decline. Aside: A long-time friend and I will be doing an overnight backpacking trip to the Middle and Upper falls of the Mckenzie River Headwaters, mid-July, dates flexible, if any one is interested in coming along. This is highly recommended. Cont: My main point is that I see a turning point in computer technology with the introduction of Multi-point input. Ben, I didn't even know what you were talking about when you brought this up yesterday, but, seeing the iPhone commercial last weekend I got an intuitive understanding of the technology. Last night I read the article about MS's Milan Project, in July's Popular Mechanics. It seems someone has been very busy! This has caused a me to be far more enthusiastic about my own engineering education project. I will now be dropping back into the background, don't mind me if I lurk till the fall, when I will be bringing far more relevant questions to the group. This group has been beneficial to me. I hope to return the favor. So, thanks for putting up with my mucking around. Brian Brian
