Personal Bugaboo - no pointers to online map services This is not an edtech related post but I felt the need to rant and well, it's my blog so I'll rant if I want to... It is beyond me how there still exist any institutional websites that offer 'Contact Pages' with their address but that don't also use one the myriad online maps services that exist to point to an online map of their location. You know, handy sites like Yahoo Maps or Mapquest. Maybe these are the same people who think the Internet is simply a 'fad,' just like From EdTechPost on April 26, 2004 at 8:55 p.m..

True Randomness? (Moe) Generating true randomness is one of computer science's most difficult challenges. [...] Mathematicians have come up with far more reliable pseudorandom generators. The digits that come stuttering forth appear to be as patternless as raindrops on pavement or snow on a television set tuned to an empty channel. But even the best algorithms share the same weakness: the numbers are not really unpredictable. If you run the process long enough, the cycle of digits will eventually repeat--a pattern appears. --> From PlasticThinking: Moe's Blog. on April 26, 2004 at 8:54 p.m..
