Greg Harmon, of Dragonfly Capital, recently opened an investment blog post with an angle that caught my eye:
“Looking for that gift for the nerd that has everything? Well how about a supercomputer? These babies have the power of 50 million laptops. That should get them an edge playing Xbox against their friends.”
Harmon made a quick pivot and went on to pitch giving “the thrill of supercomputing” by making presents of supercomputer stock from companies, such as Cray.

The active librarian community in Ohio shouldn’t surprise me anymore, but it still does when I discover yet another local group or event dedicated to a niche aspect of libraries. Ohio IR Day on Friday, October 24, 2014, exemplified the communal desires of Ohio librarians. Even , there were over 30 participants for this all-day event, most from academic libraries with one from the Ohio History Connection (previously the Historical Society) and even a Kentucky librarian
Today's digest highlights new tools used to track community college students, using HPC in minimizing drug side effects,new gadgets for checkout at libraries, Chevron making a $20 million investment, and federal support to contruct a new data-sharing infrastructure...
Ask college librarians how prepared they think incoming freshmen are for college-level work, and their answers are sadly consistent: today’s students aren’t prepared. Bridging that gap is a common interest for OhioLINK, Ohio’s academic library consortium, and INFOhio, Ohio’s PreK-12 digital library. Drawing on their 20-year history of working together–along with public libraries and the State Library of Ohio–to cost-effectively provide research resources to all Ohioans, OhioLINK and INFOhio are now investigating the next step. Using a common tool–EDS–but two different approaches, OhioLINK and INFOhio are transforming research with search and discovery and helping ease the transition to college for Ohio’s students.

The staff of the Ohio Academic Resources Network (OARnet), a member of the Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH), has been working with their counterparts at The Ohio State University to deploy a Science DMZ to help accelerate research at the university. A Science DMZ is a computer sub-network that is structured to be secure, but operates outside of the performance restrictions of a firewall. The two-year funding for the project comes from the National Science Foundation’s Campus Cyberinfrastructure – Network Infrastructure and Engineering Program (CC-NIE) program.
Today we look at Intel's Israel-based manufacturing plant upgrades, the future of technology, R&D with K12 education, Dayton's environmental institute, aviation broadband services, and University of Queensland's new supercomputer for computational research
