Procrastination: Geotagging Photos
Now that I have a GPS, I can have some fun with hiking and photography. The idea is to record my position on the GPS while hiking (i.e., the tracklog). This will provide me (and others) with a good record of different hikes. In addition, I can pinpoint the location where I took photographs and hence tag the photos with those coordinates (i.e., geotagging). Here is the procedure I use for the purpose:
Picasso and Einstein Got the Picture - Issue 13: Symmetry
Most of the big steps forward in science are made possible by visualization. Albert Einstein said he visualized the theory of relativity before he worked out the formula. Previous explanations of the universe made no aesthetic sense to him. He was mathematically and physically oriented.

“As crianças são todas originalmente hackers”, constata Pekka Himanen
O intelectual finlandês Pekka Himanen (foto), autor do já clássico livro “A ética do hacker”, esteve em Buenos Aires para oferecer conferências sobre o espírito do trabalho na idade da informação. Em entrevista, falou sobre a maneira como o conteúdo de seu manifesto sobreviveu nestes últimos dez anos. Pekka Himanen parece muito jovem para ter escrito “A ética do hacker”. Nesse manifesto, publicado em 2001, o intelectual finlandês (que aos vinte anos tornou-se doutor em filosofia) tenta definir o espírito de trabalho que caracterizava o mundo dos programadores, como Linus Torvalds, o criador do sistema operativo de código aberto Linux – ou Steve Wozniak, o cofundador, junto de Steve Jobs, da Apple Computer. Em seu livro, o que fez Himanen foi contrapor o espírito hacker com a ética protestante, definida por Max Weber na obra “A ética protestante e o 'espírito' do capitalismo”.
