Emergent: Tall Paul continues to examine emergent by posting a paper he presented last week. If you’re wondering what this emergent thing is all about, be sure to check out Paul’s site.

Business: Dave Givens is the proud recipient of a strange award. He has the dubious honor of having America’s longest commute. He makes a 186-mile drive–each way–five days a week to his job in San Jose. He spends seven hours of every day commuting to and from work.
