I agree w/all the above - thanks for taking the trouble to present this, Jake!

I must say that #31 bothers me: Electronic Profiling. A vending machine in Japan that extrapolates facial characteristics into demographic information to predict beverage choice. It's way too "1984" for me - besides, no computer or website can predict what I want or what my interests are - all they can do is spit out permutations of what I've scanned before (whether it was for me or for someone else). Taking it to the level of judging what I'll like based on my facial characteristics is somehow repugnant. Does this mean it "picks your pop" based on racial stereotypes??

Jake,

So I'm the exchange student who just watched the presentation with Rivkah and Yoni, my hosts. It is a really neat job and it's obvious you did a lot of work and research. It paid off in a big way!

Jake,

Great presentation: A MUST SEE!

I particularly like Bamboo? Why? I just saw a special on the Discovery Channel about building skyscrapers in the Far East. To my surprise, they actually use bamboo as a construction scaffold.

Apparently they will need miliions of tons for this purpose.

Here is a great article, brief but on the subject:

Great post which I highly enjoyed!

Yoni
