The Lily Camera

Very nifty. But in the end isn’t it just a selfie-stick with props?

Strange things one finds when cleaning up the basement.

The QR Code for this website

The QR Code for this website
The QR Code for this website

A QR Code is a matrix code (or two-dimensional bar code) created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994.

The “QR” is derived from “Quick Response”, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.
– from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_Code

I recently got interested in them when I started using  Beetight, online bee hive tracking and record keeping software.

It does this nifty thing, where it creates QR code that you can staple (laminated, of course) on each of your hives.  When you get to the bee-yard, all you need to do is scan the code and and, viola!, you are at the right place to do hive data entry.  Brilliant, in my book.

Beetight - online bee hive tracking and record keepingThey suggested BeeTagg to read the labels on the hives (with an iPhone).  It has worked quite well for me, do far.

Netflix Competitors Learn the Power of Teamwork – NYTimes.com

The biggest lesson learned, according to members of the two top teams, was the power of collaboration. It was not a single insight, algorithm or concept that allowed both teams to surpass the goal Netflix,……Instead, they say, the formula for success was to bring together people with complementary skills and combine different methods of problem-solving.

The sad thing is that somebody had to put up a million bucks to figure that out.

Sigh.
