Geo

And my source of lat and lng is down again, quasi-unreliable. I am going to have to switch to database mode for a while until they get their act straight. It's the second time they are down for an extended period over the past 2 weeks.

Watched Idol, it was OK. Have a 7:30 am call, gotta get up early.

Ning

Ning launched today after being in beta for several months. Very cool product. I was able to create my own mini social network in about 10 minutes. It can use a couple tweaks, but overall usability is great - even novice users will be able to do it - and it has a nice base set of features.

Quasi crystals & medieval Islamic mosaics

A new study shows that the Islamic pattern-making process, far more intricate than the laying of one's bathroom floor, appears to have involved an advanced math of quasi crystals, which was not understood by modern scientists until three decades ago.

The findings, reported in the current issue of the journal Science, are a reminder of the sophistication of art, architecture and science long ago in the Islamic culture. They also challenge the assumption that the designers somehow created these elaborate patterns with only a ruler and a compass. Instead, experts say, they may have had other tools and concepts.

Story

Mon night

Tired, going to bed soon. Prison Break is almost over, only 4 episodes left. Have to be in by 7:30 am tomorrow. Will be in calls most of the day.
