Here are some very miscellaneous notes from last weekend, 
including requests to fill in my faulty memory. 

TED talks: Kevin Slavin: How algorithms shape our world

Nassim Taleb: Fooled by Randomness
   (those who grok Gleick's "Chaos" have a head start on this book)

nixle.us alerts from local governments (missing person alerts, traffic jams)

jabberwacky: chatterbot that tries to seem human
   cleverbot: jabberwacky++

Crayon Physics game part of "Humble Indie" package 3. 

What was the game for 5-year old kids? 

What was the program that Taavi mentioned that was better than GNU screen?
