[vos-d] Computer Science Evocation

2008-07-31 Thread HEBLACK, J

[edit] 
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evocation
In his fictional novel A Fire Upon the Deep, computer scientist Vernor
Vinge uses evocation to refer to a method of compressing communication
into very high-level information - words rather than their sounds,
description of actions rather than motion video. The implication is that
the information reproduced may not correspond closely to the original.

 I have a new top priority project that must compete with VOS -- Zephan 
 Isaac was born on Friday at 7:30 PM!  Though so far he's been great and 
 we're well rested (so far) and on top of the world.

 More photos and news will be on my web site and on flickr in the 
 upcoming weeks.
 
 Congratulations, Reed!
 
 My own competing project--Dylan Jesse--started a couple of weeks ago.

 Some more recent ones (and some previous ones) are here:

 We're well into sleep deprivation at this point; but enjoying him
 immensely.
