9 Equations True Geeks Should (at Least Pretend to) Know

The world's complexities and uncertainties are distilled and set in orderly figures, with a handful of characters sufficing to capture the universe itself. For your enjoyment, the Wired Science team has gathered nine of our favorite equations. Some represent the universe; others, the nature of life. One represents the limit of equations.We do advise, however, against getting any of these equations tattooed on your body, much less branded.

Flat UI. Queen granted territory in hyperspace. Queen Elizabeth II has had a symmetrical object in mathematical infinite dimensional hyperspace named after her by a mathematician at Oxford University.

Queen granted territory in hyperspace

The mathematical contours of the Queen's newly-claimed realm are defined by three numbers -- 1952 (the year of her coronation), 2012 (the year of her diamond jubilee) and 60 (the number of years that she's been on the British throne). Du Sautoy has sent the Queen a certificate that describes these contours If you want to live in infinite dimensional proximity to the Queen, you can claim territory in hyperspace yourself.

Coding For Kids

For those of you not familiar with wikis it is really very simple: 1. Register in the top right hand corner, it says that you don't have to but you do in order to edit the text 2. Check your email for a message from mediawiki that you will use to activate your account 3. The Stupid Things You Do at Work (and How to Fix Them) I'll add one to the list - there are extremes of tasks that can be done sloppily and quickly and not make any significant difference and there are the other extreme of tasks that require extreme care to do right that make a significant difference.

The Stupid Things You Do at Work (and How to Fix Them)

The challenge is to understand and know where each task should lie on the continuum between the extremes and act accordingly regardless of time pressures so you don't waste time on the unimportant and don't spend enough time on the important. So often in workplaces like mine, the time pressures and deadlines can cause a lack of focus and pushes the taking of shortcuts or the lack of validation and checking. The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of meeting the schedules. Huge Collection of Code Snippets: HTAccess, PHP, WordPress, jQuery, HTML, CSS. Alice: IRC in the browser.

Estimating the Airspeed Velocity of an Unladen Swallow

After spending some time last month trying to develop alternate graphic presentations for kinematic ratios in winged flight, I decided to try to answer one of the timeless questions of science: just what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? What do you mean, an African or European Swallow? To begin with, I needed basic kinematic data on African and European swallow species. Although 47 of the 74 worldwide swallow species are found in Africa,1 only two species are named after the continent: the West African Swallow (Hirundo domicella) and the South African Swallow (Hirundo spilodera), also known as the South African Cave Swallow. iPhone Dock by Zaggo. Tools of the Trade. In my bookmarks bar, I’ve got a folder named “Tools” where I put all the useful widgets and sites I come across.

Tools of the Trade

The list was getting quite long so I decided to clean it up a little, and I thought it would be interesting to share the result. Without further ado, here are the sites, bookmarklets, and apps I use regularly in my design work. Readability Readability Read Now is a nifty bookmarklet that extracts the content of a page and displays it in a nice, readable layout. I don’t use it as much now that I send most of the content I want to read to Instapaper on my iPad, but it still comes in handy from time to time.

BREAKFAST RELEASES THE VERBALIZER - AN OPEN SOURCE DEV BOARD TO USE WITH GOOGLE'S VOICE SEARCH FOR DESKTOP Sneak preview given to 20 lucky workshop participants NEW YORK - June 23, 2011 - Today BREAKFAST released the Verbalizer, an open- source development board designed to interface with Google's freshly-minted Voice Search for the Desktop.

Out of the box, simply touching a certain part of the device will remotely trigger Voice Search from up to 10 meters away, providing an audio cue telling you to "speak now" to submit your search. The board itself is a geek's work of art in it's own right, but the real beauty lies in it's potential to allow anyone to modify the device, turning it into anything from a magic genie lamp that you rub and speak your searches into, to a modified radio microphone that, when turned on, illuminates an "On Air" sign as you speak queries to your computer.
