Funny. Maybe its different for me because I still write code every day,
but I'm optimistic about the topics above because of the tools I have
available. Today, they aren't so far out of reach thanks in large part
to folks at U Bremen (Hets), U. Cambridge (Isabelle) and MSR (Haskell). (04)

There is some documentation in the archive organized by project, program
and platform. Like most open source projects, most of the knowledge is
embedded in the artifacts.

George is still leading the government. We can thank him (or not) for
getting the Semantic Web included in data.gov. (09)
I will punish him on your behalf when I see him next. (010)
