I should probably add it to my linklog, although a lot of readers have probably already seen it. Nice job on the open source hardware! John – Yeah, that Rowling speech is excellent.

Our GPL'd package for adapting the GNU Radio hardware to quantum spin imaging sensing and control is here: http://staff.washington.edu/jon/gr-mrfm/ This programmable, open-source GNU hardware replaces a pretty large rack of extremely expensive equipment. Open-source hardware doesn't receive much attention in the popular press, but it has become a major transformative trend in system-level science and engineering.

Rowling's outstanding Harvard commencement address. My wife (who is a full-time freelance writer) endorses the analysis and sentiments of Rowling's address 100%. Supporting data: the Wikipedia Page "New Investigator" ... if you click on the accompanying graphic, you'll discover why newly-minted PdDs in biomedical research have solid statistical reason to either (1) feel dismayed about their career prospects, or (2) foresee that vast changes are coming in biomedical research (pick one or both).
