LaserWriter seeds
As the Homebrew Computer Club met and MITS frantically shipped Altairs, researchers at Xerox PARC were seemingly a decade or more ahead. They already knew what would make personal computers useful, and researchers were working on an ecosystem to support a typical office task. Writing and printing documents. Gary Starkweather had tested his SLOT laser printer using analog signals, flying-spot scanners, and raw binary test patterns to prove it was capable of high-quality printing.

Mr TIFF
For as long as I have published my books, one of my overarching goals was to give credit to those who actually invented the hardware and software that we use. I have spent 10,000+ hours to create an accurate record of their work but I'm not complaining. The 'as-close-to-possible' truth of invention by individuals or teams meant identifying the work, educating myself, writing questions, and sending emails.

Improve Your Agile Retrospectives by Learning From Science!
How well are Agile retrospectives serving you? We assume you follow the Agile retrospective agenda by starting with setting the stage, then gathering data, followed by generating insights before you decide on actions and close the retrospectives. We furthermore hope that at your next retrospective you look back to your earlier decisions in order to evaluate if you managed to implement these actions and if they made any difference.

Spatial power spectral density estimation using a Welch coprime sensor array processor
I. INTRODUCTION Spatial power spectral density (PSD) estimation involves coherently combining discrete measurements from multiple sensors. The periodogram (Schuster, 189823. Schuster, A.

WATCH: This may be the craziest golf swing we've seen yet
Famous American writer John Updike once wrote that the golf swing is "like a suitcase into which we are trying to pack one too many things." Roy McAvoy said in Tin Cup, "I tend to think of the golf swing as a poem." Payne Stewart astutely noted that "a bad attitude is worse than a bad swing." I turn to quotes here because the below swing has left me nearly speechless. It's an overpacked suitcase and a poem and a seemingly fantastic attitude all wrapped into one.
We cannot be desensitized to gun violence
If you can imagine making split-second decisions in an environment that requires coping with challenging conditions such as time pressure, uncertainty and team coordination in the heat of the moment, then you have some insight about what it’s like for a first responder entering an active shooter situation on a campus somewhere.
Generalized min-max bound-based MRI pulse sequence design framework for wide-range T1 relaxometry: A case study on the tissue specific imaging sequence
This paper proposes a new design strategy for optimizing MRI pulse sequences for T 1 relaxometry. The design strategy optimizes the pulse sequence parameters to minimize the maximum variance of unbiased T 1 estimates over a range of T 1 values using the Cramér-Rao bound.
Bill Jay - British photographic history
I worked with Bill at the Photography Study Centre at the ICA in the early '70s, at which we had a slide archive of contemporary photographers' work and four Kodak Carousel projectors with rear-projection set-ups for viewing. Two of these projectors were donated by Kodak and two by Peter Sellers (yes, the actor; I don't know how Bill managed that).
Trump's infrastructure plan could benefit Chicago
President-elect Donald J. Trump's trillion-dollar infrastructure plan offers Chicago a unique opportunity to grow its rapid transit and commuter rail systems—and in so doing, stimulate large-scale private investment. The Chicago Central Area Committee (CCAC) and the Alliance for Regional Development (ARD)—two civic groups advocating strategic investment in Chicago and the surrounding tri-state region—believe the Trump plan could do two things.
Opinion: Migratory Bird Treaty at 100
Once hunted for their feathers, scorned as nuisances or piled high on restaurant tables, migratory bird populations in North America were devastated early in the last century. Gone were the Labrador duck, Heath hen and passenger pigeon, and many other species were on the brink of extinction. But the public attitude towards migratory birds underwent a dramatic sea change as birds became valued as part of our national heritage.
Sidestepping stormwater: The newest approach to managing urban stormwater is mitigating it
Stormwater management, associated flooding and combined sewage overflow (CSO) problems are in the cross-hairs of federal, state and local environmental regulators, environmental organizations, political leaders and the general public. This puts local governments under pressure to stay current with best practices for protecting watercourses from the effects of stormwater, as well as for managing the risk of flooding.

This excerpted version simply excludes a few sections (specifically, those dealing with critical theory, Boomeritis, and Wilber's Quadrants, Levels & Lines) in order to provide a more approachable introduction to Wilber's explanation of Spiral Dynamics, an important aspect of the integral vision of consciousness.
