Gabriel Martin's Blog (61)

The time has come to form a team to fight the enemy bots, and spammers who are attacking our new agents, and clogging our site. I, Gabriel Martin, and my collegue Miaomiao Huang, have been working on this for a while, and I see the problem getting worse. If you sign on, you will be trained as a bot wrangler. This is a one week deal, so who is up for it? Im offering Google Wave invites, as an incentive. PLease get the word out.

here is the discussion…

Whew!!!! Im tired! That was a serious bot wrangling...

Its time to create a team to fight these bots. They are changing strategies, and we will need to keep a closer eye, because of it. Lets may it not worth their time. Who is with me?

edit: I have sweetened the pot, by offering google wave invites.

At MIT, scientists have developed something amazing. Its called ion concentration polarization and it could be the future of purification. By using the same technology which is used to create computer chips, they have invented a way to channel water into tiny grooves (or microchannels), and then remove all contaminates using electromagnetism. The simplified concept of using electromagnetism works as follows: because all things carry a positive or negative charge, while water does not, the…

Hello my everybody, today I am happy and proud to reveal the second step of the agent interview process.

Conversations for a Better World is a shared blog about the burning issues of our time, especially population, health and gender. It is a place on the Internet, where people exchange…

Here you can see some of the ideas that I had for my city. Hopefully some of the inventions necessary for this to occur come about quickly. What I find interesting, is that most of what we are taught about resilience can be enacted today, requiring community support and interest. Now that I have proposed this, I plan on going to some of the places, and seeing if I can make some of these things happen.
