The TX Hammes PowerPoint Challenge (Essay Contest)

A balanced, well-thought reply to Hammes' anti-PowerPoint diatribe. "Starbuck" rightly points out that the real problem is one of poor communication skills, that PowerPoint in and of itself is not the problem.

  • Earlier this month, retired Marine Colonel TX Hammes wrote an article in Armed Forces Journal regarding the drawbacks of pervasive PowerPoint use in the military. He challenged readers to compete in an essay contest at AFJ, with a selection of books as the prize.



    Col. Hammes' article has gotten quite a reception throughout the blogosphere, with a few sites (Red Team Journal by Adam Elkus, Building Peace by "Reach 364", The Best Defense by Thomas Ricks) posting their own replies.



    In the hopes of spurring some conversation on the topic--I'm too into the whole instant gratification thing to wait for the winner to be announced in November--I'm posting my own reply to Col. Hammes.

Media Cloud

  • Media Cloud is a system that lets you see the flow of the media. The Internet is fundamentally altering the way that news is produced and distributed, but there are few comprehensive approaches to understanding the nature of these changes. Media Cloud automatically builds an archive of news stories and blog posts from the web, applies language processing, and gives you ways to analyze and visualize the data. The system is still in early development, but we invite you to explore our current data and suggest research ideas. This is an open-source project, and we will be releasing all of the code soon. You can read more background on the project or just get started below.

Sources And Methods: Open Source Communicable Disease Surveillance Tool (Biocaster)

A very cool tool. It would be nice if there were a generic application like this that would allow you to "roll your own"--i.e. allow you to plug in source feeds, set persistent searches, and then have the data displayed on a map, or possible even a network graph, line graph, etc.

Discover the Networks

  • A site that provides information about individuals, groups, and funding sources on the political left.  Most interesting is the use of social network visualization to map the relationships among them.
