"When I tried to do a handstand on [Kjeragbolten](http://images.google.be/images...), a 5 m³ rock pranged between 2 moutains in Norway, with a 1000 m drop below it. Like in [this video](http://www.youtube.com/watch...), but without the chairs." - Jeroen Van Goey

prax·is /prak’-sis/ 1. practice, as distinguished from theory; application or use, as of knowledge or skills 2. convention, habit, or custom 3. a set of examples for practice Computer programming, like any creative activity, demands constant study and practice. Vladimir Horowitz practiced the études of Chopin every night, after he performed a concert, to maintain his skills for the next performance. Tiger Woods drives a thousand balls on the driving range, every day. Pablo Picasso sketched a bull ten times before the eleventh bull was right. This blog publishes new programming exercises weekly, at least, so that savvy programmers can maintain their skills by working the exercises and thinking outside their normal skill set, whatever that is. - Jeroen Van Goey

Lessigerator is a slideware application that makes the act of hammering out a presentation using the Lessig method fast an easy. Being javascript, it runs in your browser at lightning speed, and can also work while you're offline from your local environment. * Free and Open Source * Easy to use (some javascript knowledge helps) * Powerful presentations in minimal time * Flickr hooks for image fetching! (experimental) - Jeroen Van Goey

The "Lessig Method" of presentation is not an official method per se, but many people who know about the work of Stanford law professor, Lawrence Lessig, have been inspired by his presentation style and informally refer to his approach as something unique indeed. Those who have seen Lessig present have been talking about his approach for a while. David Hornik at VentureBlog wrote a post entitled Putting the "Power" in Powerpoint over two years ago. In this post he heaps praise on the presentation style of Lessig. Hornik says Lessig's presentations "are a fantastic combination of content, art and brand...." James MacLennan may have been the first to put a label on Lessig's presentation style, calling it the "Lessig Method" which he likens to the Takahashi Method in Japan because Lessig's slides often contain just a single word, short quote, or a photo. The Takahashi Method and Professor Lessig's approach do have similarities, though Lessig uses photos and other graphics. - Jeroen Van Goey

Welcome to Al Zimmermann's Programming Contests. You've entered an arena where demented computer programmers compete for glory and for some cool prizes. I run one or two contests per year. Each contest asks that you come up with your best solutions to a set of related computationally intensive problems. Although I speak of "programming contests", technically you don't need to write a computer program to enter. You can enter whether you use a computer, manual calculations, or tea leaves to solve the problems. You send me solutions, not programs. - Jeroen Van Goey

The first 10 Prolog Programming Contests took place in Ithaca (1994), Portland (1995), Bonn (1996), Leuven (1997), Manchester (1998), Las Cruces (1999), Paphos (2001), Copenhagen (2002), Mumbay (2003) and Saint-Malo (2004). The contest organisers have written this book, containing the (slightly reworked) questions and an answer (in Prolog of course) for each question. - Jeroen Van Goey

"What? A website to share Processing sketches??" share your sketches with others help and collaborate with the community improve and polish your programming skills and even more, follow classrooms around the world teaching processing - Jeroen Van Goey

UBDebug is a PC-based IDE for CHDK ubasic scripts that runs under Windows and Mac OSX (10.3 "Panther" or later). It lets you create and edit scripts, then step through them line by line while inspecting and setting variables. You can also set the values to be returned by some CHDK functions (such as get_usb_power) and any property. Here's what it looks like when it's running (under OSX 10.5): - Jeroen Van Goey

The CAMremote-1 (CR-1) and CAMremote-2 (CR-2) are highly integrated miniature remote control devices for cameras and camcorders. Several digital cameras/camcorders from Canon, Nikon, Ricoh, Pentax, Sony, Panasonic and Olympus have a remote control feature which utilizes the USB port, an infrared signal or Remote Control Port. The CAMremote is a USB On-the-Go device which has USB host and device functionality. It can control the camera's remote features like shutter, zoom, aperture/shutter speed values, etc. In addition, CAMremote has an integrated intervalometer which will trigger the camera automatically after a predefined time. The infrared support of the CAMremote can be used with cameras where no USB remote control feature is available but which have an infrared sensor. The Remote Port support can be used mostly with SLR-cameras which has dedicated port for remote control. - Jeroen Van Goey

The course serves as an introductory course in parallel programming. It offers a series of lectures on parallel programming concepts as well as a group project providing hands-on experience with parallel programming. The students will have the unique opportunity to use the cutting-edge PLAYSTATION 3 development platform as they learn how to design and implement exciting applications for multicore architectures. At the end of the course, students will have an understanding of: * Fundamental design philosophies that multicore architectures address. * Parallel programming philosophies and emerging best practices. - Jeroen Van Goey

The Internet Problem Solving Contest (IPSC) is an online contest for teams consisting of up to three people. Several problems will be published at the beginning of the competition. Each problem consists of a problem description and two input data sets. To solve a problem you will have to compute correct output data for the given input data sets. Usually this means that you will write a program that solves the problem, but you may produce the output by hand or in any other way. - Jeroen Van Goey

What I want to believe based on emotions and what I should believe based on evidence does not always coincide. I conclude that I’m a skeptic not because I do not want to believe but because I want to know. But how can we tell the difference between what we would like to be true and what is actually true? The answer is science: begins with the null hypothesis, which assumes that the claim under investigation is not true until demonstrated otherwise. The statistical standards of evidence needed to reject the null hypothesis are substantial. In a controlled experiment, we would like to be 95 to 99 percent confident that the results were not caused by chance before we offer our provisional assent that the effect may be real. Failure to reject the null hypothesis does not make the claim false, and, conversely, rejecting the null hypothesis is not a warranty on truth. Nevertheless, the scientific method is the best tool ever devised to discriminate between true and false patterns. - Jeroen Van Goey

"The point of doing the whole brain, though, is that it allows us to really develop theories about how the brain works. Sometimes, the only way to make sense of a complex system is to be systematic." To achieve this, the Allen Institute reimagined the scientific process. There was no grand hypothesis, or even a semblance of theory. The researchers just wanted the data, and, given the amount needed, it quickly became apparent that the work couldn't be done by hand. So, shortly after the institute was founded, Jones and his team started thinking about how to industrialize the experimental process. While modern science remains, for the most part, a field of artisans—scientists performing their own experiments at their own benches—the atlas required a high-throughput model, in which everything would be done on an efficient assembly line. Thanks to a team of new laboratory robots, what would have taken a thousand technicians several years can now be accomplished in less than 20 months. - Jeroen Van Goey

"> Are you French by any chance? No, what makes you think that? I am from Belgium, a neighbouring country to France, so we inherited the bourgeois way of living from them though. > That upside-down thing, was that a kind of '69'? Yes. It was doing an inter-university exchange abroad at that time, and hadn't seen my girlfriend for several months when she came over to visit me. The original plan was to go around the city and visit the obvious tourist attractions, but we were both as horny as molten butter and couldn't keep our hands of each other. While we were in Park Güell I was fooling around and climbing like a monkey in the trees. I grabbed the trunk of a tree with my legs, and hung backwards with my back at the trunk when suddenly, she stepped forward, unzipped my pants and started to give me a blowjob. Things only went better from there on... > I wish more people were like you and your partners. Thanks!" - Jeroen Van Goey
