"Third, curators, researchers, academic institutions and funding agencies should, in the next ten years, increase the visibility and support of scientific curation as a professional career" - Neil Saunders from Bookmarklet

from the article: "To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and methods, and to facilitate collaborations and training, more than 150 biocurators met at two international conferences and created a mailing list and a website (http://www.biocurator.org)" that website is so poor I don't understand why it was mentioned at all, hope they build a better one - Attila Csordas

"Every time we slip effortlessly into a daydream, a distinct pattern of brain areas is activated, which is known as the default network. Studies show that this network is most engaged when people are performing tasks that require little conscious attention, such as routine driving on the highway or reading a tedious text. Although such mental trances are often seen as a sign of lethargy - we are staring haplessly into space - the cortex is actually very active during this default state, as numerous brain regions interact. Instead of responding to the outside world, the brain starts to contemplate its internal landscape. This is when new and creative connections are made between seemingly unrelated ideas." - Ginger Makela Riker from Bookmarklet

@Ginger check out the Frontal Cortex blog from the author of this article, you will enjoy it http://scienceblogs.com/cortex... - Shakeel Mahate

Have seen his work around for a long time, always impressed. Even his self portrait painting @ age 17 is amazing and shows where he was heading. There is another artist who did similar work, wish I could remember his name or find it online. - cmiper

"I got finished entering in the information into Evernote. I tagged it with a couple tags and closed it up. The next day the meeting time came round and I opened up Evernote, and all my first meeting’s notes were tagged so they’d all be there in one place and we banged out that meeting, with dates, times, numbers, and all the pertinent bits in no time at all without me having to shuffle papers or look things up. Between the scanned PDFs and the tagging I had all my information at my finger tips with no pausing to look things up." - Hutch Carpenter

Good commentary on the subject. - Daniel Schildt

There should be a feature similar to a blog archive, where old posts could be accessed by year and month. And maybe even a tagging/category feature, similar to blog post categories/tags but for individual posts, to be able to sort old posts/discussions and have easy access to them. (the tags/categories could be either private or public) I'd like that. Examples: 'food', 'gadgets', 'music', 'weird', etc, that kind of stuff. - Vincent X

"The principle of an electronically controlled drive train is to execute perfect shifts every time, thus 'reducing mental overhead,' in the words of Shimano marketing manager Devin Walton. This is a resource cyclists find in short supply during epic rides." - Anthony Citrano from Bookmarklet

Very nice, I've enjoyed Shimano's innovations through the years. - Mike Reynolds

He's lost his credibility with me. While he's occasionally right about some things (examples: faux patriotism/flag-waving; UBL serving as a boogie man) he's mostly wrong here (about PNAC, WTC, etc.) And he won't even directly call Bush out for his supposed crimes and/or Iraq. - Anthony Citrano

Anthony, a further note: when the full truth about 9/11 comes out, as I am sure it will, those who were taken in by the official story are going to be slapping themselves upside the head, wondering how they could have overlooked so many obvious signs and pieces of information which pointed consistently and clearly towards the truth. Just another little prediction of mine :) -- feel free... more... - Sean McBride

I tried it and really did not like the way it worked ... - Robert Couture

Yeah, I agree. Didn't like it at all... it's just a matter of different tastes I guess :) - Andre

I have had and used 40 or 50 PCs of various laptop and desktop flavours and never had a hard disk fail -- is this an apple phenomenon or have I just been lucky? - Brian Sullivan

Crowds aren't smart. My history teacher back in college in the 1980s used to say "the masses are asses." The longer I live the more I understand that. - Robert Scoble

"Take Speedo's LZR swimsuit, which was introduced in February. Fully 38 of the 42 world swimming records that have been broken since then have fallen to swimmers wearing LZRs." .... "The results are a suit that costs $600 and takes 20 minutes to squeeze into, and a widespread belief among swimmers competing in the Beijing Olympics this summer that they will have to wear one or fail." - Karen Padham Taylor from Bookmarklet
