[CentralOH] Very Miscellaneous Notes

> TED talks: Kevin Slavin: How algorithms shape our world

 Lot's of TED talks are good, but this one is very interesting:
http://www.ted.com/talks/kevin_slavin_how_algorithms_shape_our_world.html

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

A couple of other good ones in that domain: "A Random Walk Down Wall Street"
and "Searching for Certainty" (which is out of print, but I have a copy if
anyone wants).


> Crayon Physics game part of "Humble Indie" package 3.
>
> What was the game for 5-year old kids?
>

Crayon Physics is pretty approachable, I think that's what was mentioned in
the discussion.

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

tmux?
