BARBICAMBARUS SIMMONSI ITS WHATS FOR DINNER

Researchers have named a new species of giant crayfish. Barbicambarus simmonsi lives in
Tennessee and somehow went unnoticed until 2009.
Which reminds me that it's been a while since I last ate crawdad. Delicious, delicious crawdad. If you're lucky enough to live in the sort of place that sells bags of frozen, cooked crawfish tails in the supermarket*, I highly recommend the following recipe as a yummy, if not particularly healthy, snack: BOINGBOING

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
