Data Science Toolkit: http://t.co/e05dyKS6 Open data tools. The PDF to text one looks v. helpful. - Bill Anderson

My large and unsorted collection of links about cooperation theory - Bill Anderson

John Cleese on the Origin of Creativity | Open Culture http://t.co/VVM8j8Ub (essentially: protect quiet, contemplative creative time) - Bill Anderson

Interesting discussion of Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle in terms of what we can measure today. - Bill Anderson

For me it seems like discovery, and I am often surprised, and sometimes chagrined, by what I find. - Bill Anderson from twhirl

The comment stream on this post is informative and generative. - Bill Anderson

A wonderful and inspiring post about learning and attention to detail. "Playing through" is the phrase that sticks with me. - Bill Anderson

Nice concise presentation on the vision and economic potential of open approaches to information and knowledge production. - Bill Anderson

Software for rich(-er) PDF documents. Mostly bio-science oriented now. - Bill Anderson

Short note with links to current digital preservation and access projects and tools. - Bill Anderson

Study evaluates software coding practices and calculates a cost for technical debt. - Bill Anderson

Open data to trees can help with citizen engagement. A good example of how to code up a useful app. - Bill Anderson

Tantalizing text, but link resolves to "Data not currently available." It is still early days in the web. SIgh. - Bill Anderson

Sample code from Python and AWS Cookbook: Managing Your Cloud with Python and Boto, by Mitch Garnaat. - Bill Anderson

A review of eight books on current crises in higher education. Informative, generative, and sobering. - Bill Anderson

Analysis seems correct, but a bit over-simplified. Given that all models are fraught with these problems, how are the risks of using them mitigated? - Bill Anderson

Javascript mapping abstraction library. BSD License. - Bill Anderson

In this article what data scientists do sounds more like engineering than science. - Bill Anderson

Metrics support progress and clear thinking, and, once established, can curtail new and improved thinking. Sharper knives are better and require skill to use. - Bill Anderson

Nice story of how some things really work. We need more examples like this one. - Bill Anderson

Open science and reproducibility (another property needing a defined measure). Another question is what practices can be established and scale. - Bill Anderson

How DO you measure reproducibility, beyond asking -- by actual experiment -- whether X succeeded in repeating Y's work? (And do we really need another metric?) - Bill Hooker

Nice example of how the notebook is the metadata about the data and the practice. - Bill Anderson

Chas. Simic's short essay on taking notes, by hand, in a little notebook. I am reading more and more that writing by hand is better in many dimensions. Must give it a try. Again. - Bill Anderson

Commitments to keep scientific software open and available. I do wonder about the form of a citation, especially if the citations need to be persistent. - Bill Anderson

The document camera idea alone is terrific. - Bill Anderson

Semantic mediawiki tips are always needed. Documentation is distributed, emergent, and necessary. - Bill Anderson

Concise and clear description of key characteristics of a web-based open infrastructure for science. - Bill Anderson

Wonderful piece of observational and interpretive work. - Bill Anderson
