Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds. This group is to bring all these people together -- those who are working to help people make sense of their world. It's for hackers exploring technologies to filter …

Many of us baby boomers have managed to gain a measure of true independence at this phase of our lives. We are therefore no longer tethered to a corporate job as such. Instead, we get to focus on reinventing ourselves by pursuing interests, hobbies and even dreams we did not quite have time for when we were part of the daily-commute crowd. For me, this means developing for the Kinect platform (and, in the process, falling in love with C# despite my earlier prejudices!), designing an animation pl …
