I want to start a wiki project classifying news stories. The idea is to support research on media bias. However, hardly any engine seems mature? Semantic mediawiki is one, but I’m afraid it is not nearly good enough… Actually I think Makna might be better and more user friendly (love the attribute search). Other alternatives are IkeWiki […]
A colleague (Thx - Ulla) has advised me that the “sort sol” (Black Sun) phenomenon can be seen in Denmark these days. From Visit Denmark:
Black Sun is a natural phenomenon that can be experienced in spring and autumn, when enormous flocks of black starlings, sometimes hundreds of thousands, create fascinating patterns in the sky, virtually blocking out […]

Also see this post and read a little wikipedia on media bias
Update 29/3 2007: Also “Dato” has caught on:
Update 29/3 2007: MetroXpress didn’t bother to call us up. Maybe because they knew we wouldn’t accept their frame - see story. It’s amazing really we are quoted for saying that we could not find any […]
Found this back in january, but now that I’m begining to use my public notebook (your reading it) again, it is time to reminence: A periodic Table of Visualisation; cool; fun; enlightning.

From the New Economist: ZunZun can help you to find an equation to fit your data (choose “function finder” and submit your data - you can choose both 2d og 3d data…). Since simple regression is complicated enough for me, I wont comment further - but the tool seems potential powerful.
I submitted theese 3 dimensional (for fun) data:
2 2 5
5 3 6
3 5 8
6 8 1
4 9 5
8 6 3
1 6 2
5 7 6
9 9 8
5 1 4

If the workplace is becomming more ‘democratic’ (the infinite meanings of this word I will leave unexplored for now); then maybe MBA’s could learn from classic and newer theories of political behavior. Under which circumstances will the voter/employee change loyalty? Is there a median employee (cf. Anthony downs)? - Which dividing lines can we document […]
Over at CSNB I found out that the emails leading to the firing of eight US attorneys have been released. A great opprtynity for network analysis… And just as CSNB I also wonder where this kind af data will take the social sciences… Exiting!

This power-point set Dalai_test_barnum (download link) is a funny illustration of the Barnum effect. Only - I’m not sure everybody thinks that a dog is obnuxious - But then again - manny people find me a wee bit just that.
According to the test my preferences in life are:
Pride
Love
Family
career
Money
And I intrepret my life in terms of “freedom”.

I simply luuuuuv google’s new tool. E.g. this gapminder chart shows how the proportion of children and old in the general population relates to the GNP per capita. For Denmark we see that the last 10 years we have had growth both in income pr. capita and the proportion of children and old people. (thx Innohead)

Instructables has a nice how-to…. This technique is much more appealing then the others I have seen, where one actually has to do nasty stuff inside the camera (with loss of warranty)

Over at CSNB theres an interesting post about Al-qaida and how social networks evolve, and how they become fragile as the grow larger. This reminded me of this article by John Rob where the optimal size for terrorist cell is derived from a critique of Dunbars number. The optimal size is estimated at […]
Paul, don’t speak to me, my serotonin levels have hit bottom, my brain is awash in glucocorticoids, my blood vessels are full of adrenaline, and if it weren’t for my endogenous opiates I’d have driven my car into a tree on the way home. My dopamine levels need lifting. Pour me a Chardonnay, and I’ll […]
Now that it has been revealed that the danish Minister of culture Brian Mikkelsen has written a Berlusconi-style email to the then Chairman of the board (Jørgen Kleener) of The Danish national broadcasting corporation, Danmark Radio (DR), critisizing named journalist and hinting that DR might be privatised unless the Chairman would undertake measures to ensure that the coverage […]
Liberalisterne: Mange ting er jeg ikke helt enige i, nogle er jeg, og behovet for partiet er hvertfald tilstede. Hent en vælgererklæring (pdf) og hjælp partiet til at blive opstillingsberettiget. Få ting er trods alt bedre end at sætte sin underskrift på papir - i frihedens navn Det gælder også for alle os kulturradikale i […]
ColorBrewer is an excellent tool helping you to choose which colors to use for your diagrams/graphs etc. It even gives advice as to which combinations that are suitable for colorblind people, monitor type, photocopies, projectors etc. In SMS’sk its a gr8 tul. - Requires FLASH (From: SSSB)

Multimediaworld’s kundeservice er frygtelig: Læs bare denne beretning fra en uskyldig, men rar mand - en smule arrig ganske vidst:
Købte lige et lille bitte 3d Kort igår. Iden forbindelse er det fra nu
af og i al fremtid forbudt at handle i multimedie world. Idioten i
butikken vidste lige så lidt som mig, så jeg fik […]
