At this month’s Design Patterns group, Jim Echmalia will give a run-through of his talk for the 360 Flex Conference, Practical Patterns in Flex. Jim is a software developer at Allurent. The abstract for his talk is here. Looks like it should be a good one.
As always, first Weds of the month, 12 floor of Brightcove. Bring your own food and drink. And afterwards, we all go to the bar downstairs and play foosball.

Big building to the right of the Marriot if you come up from the Kendall Square T Station. Come up to the 12th floor and ring the bell.

Wisdom of the Swarms

Ok - I never blog any more, but, occasionally I read. There’s a great article in National Geographic on swarm behavior. Surowiecki’s quoted a few times. And he readily admits that wisdom of the crowds (stock market) is paralleled in the animal kingdom (ant colony). The article even includes a good dose of computer modeling.
