- Feedback Without Frustration (YouTube) -- Scott Berkun at the HIVE conference talks about how feedback fails, and how to get it successfully. He is so good.
- Americhrome -- history of the official palette of the United States of America.
- Discovering Talented Musicians with Musical Analysis (Google Research blgo) -- very clever, they do acoustical analysis and then train up a machine learning engine by asking humans to rate some tracks. Then they set it loose on YouTube and it finds people who are good but not yet popular. My favourite: I'll Follow You Into The Dark by a gentleman with a wonderful voice.
- Dark Sky (Kickstarter) -- hyperlocal hyper-realtime weather prediction. Uses radar imagery to figure out what's going on around you, then tells you what the weather will be like for the next 30-60 minutes. Clever use of data plus software.

These "four short links" are tagged with "ai" which interests me because of my http://www.scn.org/~mentifex/AiMind.html work in creating True AI, but at first glance I can not see the connection with AI, unless maybe it is the link on "Discovering Talented Musicians with Musical Analysis" -- ah, yes, "machine learning." Thanks.
