I know it’s been a while since I got back from Dublin, but I just had to post this image of me at the famed pet cemetery at powerscourt.

Slashdot | Sun Working to Obsolete Motherboards:

“Sun is developing a new technology that promises to increase computing power by eliminating the need for physical, soldered chip-to-chip connections on the motherboard. Called ‘proximity communications’, it portends the ability for chips to talk to one another wirelessly just by being next to each other. Potential applications in computer design abound. Apparently this is part of Sun’s Hero program, recipient of a $50 million grant from DARPA’s High Productivity Computing Systems program to rejuvenate supercomputing in the US and regain the lead lost to Japan, in particular to NEC’s Earth Simulator, ranked as the most powerful supercomputer in the world.”

Of course, it’Äôs the sound issue, given his propensity (lucidity?) towards and with sound installations.
