Errata for “Reinventing Discovery”

p4: Midpage, I write “For links to GenBank and other resources, see the `Notes on Sources,’ starting on page 347.” The end of the sentence should read “see the `Notes,’ starting on page 221.”

p82: On the fourth line of the page, the sentence beginning “In part 2 of this book…” should read “In part 1 of this book…”.

p231: In the note for page 135 I write “Note that the galaxy images seen by the Zooites are in false color, and the `green peas’ are actually closer to red”. This is incorrect, it should state that the green peas are actually blue/white.

Back cover: Tyler Cowen’s endorsement begins “This is the book on how networks will drive a revolution in scientific discovery…”. In this sentence the word `the‘ is supposed to be emphasized.

Thanks to Rick Nowell for providing a correction.

- OSI: The Internet That Wasn’t - IEEE Spectrum
  How TCP/IP won over the OSI. Interesting in part for the discussion of what openness means, exactly, and when it is advantageous for a process to be open.
- Lester Dent's Master Plot Formula
  More in the Moorcock vein. It's easy to imagine the reaction of the critic, holding their nose at writing to formula. But you can turn that around, regarding Dent (and, more plausibly, Moorcock) as a student and theoretician of structure. And that's a pretty powerful point of view. Of course, word-by-word Dent is a poor […]
- How to Write a Book in Three Days: Lessons from Michael Moorcock
  Fascinating both intrinsically, and for the commentary. The commentary first: part of the interest is from people who desire an easy way to write (or, more accurately, to have written). But there is also clearly a genuine interest on the part of many: what does this guy know that I don't about storytelling? You may […]
- Gossip is Philosophy
  Kevin Kelly interviews Brian Eno. Slow to get going, but fascinating. Eno proposes "process, not product", says that it's his "ease of seduction" that means he often gets things first, talks about putting more "Africa" into computers, and generally makes many interesting comments.
- Susan Sontag interview
  Conveys well how much force of personality and intellect Sontag brought to her writing.
Documentaries
- Visual Storytelling: The Digital Video Documentary
  A brief skim suggests that this is a very good basic guide to making documentaries.
- The Great Ecstasy of the Woodcarver Steiner - Werner Herzog
  Documentary of Wolfgang Steiner, one of the world's top ski-jumpers in the 1970s. The spine of the documentary is a sequence of extraordinary shots of Steiner's jumps, taken with a pair of high-speed cameras.
- Inge Druckrey: Teaching to See
  A reminder of the diversity of life: the passion and learning and insight people pour into calligraphy, font design, and design more generally.
- Indie Game: The Movie (2012) - IMDb
  Striking for the level of emotional commitment and uncertainty (and turmoil) on the part of the creators!
- Step Into Liquid (2003)
  Remarkable survey of the cutting edge of surfing. We see the origins of tow-rope surfing (where surfers are pulled by jet skis into waves that are too big to paddle out to), the use of hydrofoil designs that put the board a foot or two _above_ the wave, and even the use of weather stations […]
