Flying Gridswarms

Current Music: Beethoven Symphony 7, Allegretto

A crazy project from the University of Essex:
http://gridswarms.essex.ac.uk/
http://cswww.essex.ac.uk/staff/owen/research.htm

It mentioned a fun-sounding conference, the IEEE Swarm Intelligence Symposium.

Also, I ran across this interesting site: machineconsciousness.org

More Python stuff:

• http://www.byteofpython.info/ (a great tutorial)
• Thinking in Python -- Bruce Eckel's unfinished online book, emphasizing design patterns

Finally, a fun book I'm currently reading: Blast from the Past, by Ben Elton
