Mendeley Demos at Princeton, NYU, Cold Spring Harbor Labs, Yale, Dartmouth and the IEEE e-Science Co - (USA)
Oh dear, I’ve got a hard time keeping my eyes open, so I’ll just recount the facts. I’m sitting in my bed at the Latham Hotel, Philadelphia, where I arrived this afternoon (early-morning flight from London to Washington, then on with a regional jet). Not having slept very much last night, I felt like taking a nap right away, but I decided against it and took a 3-hour walk around downtown and Chinatown.

The Ninth Step: Review of George Paul’s New Book “Foundations of Digital Evidence” - (USA)
Everyone in e-discovery is familiar with the EDRM nine-step model of e-discovery. It may surprise you to know that the first and last steps of this model, Information Management and Presentation, are not part of the discovery process at all. Instead, they are key activities related to e-discovery. The ones that precede and follow the seven steps of actual e-discovery work (shown below). The last step, the Ninth Step, is governed by the rules of evidence, not procedure. That is where George Paul’

Video lecture sites - Superfood for the intellectually starved - (USA)
When I lived in London I used to attend lectures and talks at least once a week (often at the Royal Institution, a wonderful place). They were one of the mainstays of my intellectual life, and I used to leave many of them babbling with excitement (the adult equivalent of kids doing chops and kicks as they leave Kung-fu movies). Here in Belgrade there are still many talks and lectures that one can attend, but unsurprisingly, it cannot match London. Luckily there are several superb sites

New Day Church Gets Noticed - (USA)
BoogieDowner was beyond pleased to see our neighbor, Brooklyn-transplant Doug Cunningham, and his new Methodist congregation recognized by Katherine Bindley (who also wrote about BoogieDowner a while back) in the NY Times. The piece describes the nomadic existence of New Day and its services held in a funeral home and most recently in Bronx Science High School's cafeteria. Pastor Doug is taking this whole, "'My father was a wandering Aramean" bit seriously! We wish nothing but the best for

HITLER WAS A SOCIALIST…Inconvenient Truth!! - (USA)
This article is published on the internet only. This is the version of June, 2009. This version is largely a remedial lesson in pre-war history for those who know only what they have learnt via school textbooks, popular encyclopaedias, movies etc. The article therefore does to a considerable extent go back to original sources and has to provide a lot of information that is not generally known. This does make the article rather long. For those who already know the history of the period well, howe

William Kristol on Economic Theory and Practice - (USA)
I don't usually read Bill Kristol's column, but once in a while, my eyes get caught by a headline (that's the difference between reading online and "on paper"), and I'll check out what he has to say. The other day, I read his column "Admit we don't know" on the current economic crisis that, while not in my mind "wrong", seemed puzzling to me. Pay attention to the last paragraph (highlighted in bold). ...basically, it seems to me, we're all flying blind. The markets are spiraling down, and our
