Jonathan Harris at TED

I just finished watching Jonathan Harris at TED about his web secret stories. This man has the most amazing brain (not as amazing as my husbands). He tells about three computer programs he has created to visually see what is important to people on the web. I recommend watching it at http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/144 It is 17 minutes long but well worth it. To learn more about Jonathan Harris, go to his blog like site at http://www.number27.org/

From his site "At its core, We Feel Fine is an artwork authored by everyone. It will grow and change as we grow and change, reflecting what's on our blogs, what's in our hearts, what's in our minds. We hope it makes the world seem a little smaller, and we hope it helps people see beauty in the everyday ups and downs of life."

Jonathan Harris worked with Sepandar Kamvar on a project called We Feel Fine. Sep Kamvar is a Consulting Assistant Professor of Computational Mathematics and Engineering at Stanford University. His site has a list of his credits, most of which I did not understand. I think these two men ate their Wheaties growing up.
