  1. Visiting the G-Node in Munich (http://www.g-node.org/) to discuss neuroscience databases.
  2. Preparing for the NeuroML development workshop http://math.asu.edu/~cans/workshop.html
  3. I've just released PyNN 0.6.0: details at http://neuralensemble.blogspot.com/2010/02/pynn-060-released.html
  4. choose Python: http://www1.american.edu/academic.depts/cas/econ/faculty/isaac/choose_python.pdf
  5. in defence of software engineering practices in climate science: http://www.easterbrook.ca/steve/?p=1388
  6. RT @BrainCatalog: Whole Brain Emulation: A roadmap: http://cot.ag/bOdS6W
  7. Nice article in the Guardian about the problems of reproducibility and poor code quality in scientific software: http://bit.ly/cYJJYz
  8. Guidelines on developing policies for liveblogging from conferences: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000563
  9. Excellent article on reproducibility in computation-based science from @arstechnica: http://arst.ch/d1p (via @gvwilson)
  10. My guitar runs Gentoo http://www.misadigital.com/ (If only I worked in the auditory system, maybe I could justify buying one...)
  11. @phillord now you just have to reply to them all ;-)
  12. experimenting with CouchDB for caching intermediate simulation results
  13. @alimoeeny This is basically what Henry Markram did (though in somatosensory rather than visual cortex) to get data for the BlueBrain model.
  14. My article on programming languages for neuroscience simulations recently appeared: http://bit.ly/8jDS3S
  15. at the FACETS Plenary meeting in Dresden, after escaping the snow chaos in the UK
  16. "experiments rarely tell us what we think they’re going to tell us. That’s the dirty secret of science" http://bit.ly/6SZNBP
  17. Controlling a 15 tonne robot arm with a Wiimote: http://entitycrisis.blogspot.com/2009/07/python-wiimote-30-tonnes-of-steel.html (& Python)
  18. Working on reviews. The Frontiers (http://www.frontiersin.org/) interactive system is very nice to use.
  19. Victoria Stodden (http://bit.ly/8nwPhE) and Greg Wilson (http://bit.ly/5jZh4A) on reproducibility in computational science
  20. RT @Neurotechnology: Henry Markram discusses a bit more about the IBM cat-scale brain "hoax" (Next Big Future) http://bit.ly/5GrYHX
