Sudoroom Street camera

by William Budington

Context: This comes in the wake of George wanting to clear out the iMac in the entrance, saying it looks unprofessional and is in the way. I figured the unused workstation tower (thin) is somewhat more out of the way, and installed software on it to stream the street. Thanks to Jenny for helping me do documentation, which I hate doing. ------------------------------------- The downstairs thin tower is now streaming video of the street. You can find out its IP address by listening via the … [View More]

Fwd: I School Announces Master of Information and Data Science

by Troy Massey

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: AnnaLee Saxenian <news(a)ischool.berkeley.edu> Date: Wed, Jul 17, 2013 at 10:58 AM Subject: I School Announces Master of Information and Data Science To: ecoeconomist11(a)gmail.com Email not displaying correctly? View webpage<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=G190DvpYR9pDeeRiZ9nQmA> [image: Berkeley School of Information] [image: datascience@berkeley] *UC Berkeley School of Information launches Master of Information and Data Science (… [View More]MIDS) degree* Dear Alumni and Friends of the I School, I am thrilled to share the news that the School of Information is launching a Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS) degree with the first cohort of students starting in January 2014. This will be the country’s first fully online Master of Information and Data Science (MIDS)<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=jgDIsKHXfN45z35djKXw-Q>program. The I School faculty developed this new degree in response to the rapidly growing need for well-trained professionals who can organize, analyze, and interpret the deluge of often messy and unorganized data now available from the web, sensor networks, mobile devices, and elsewhere — often referred to as “big data.” The MIDS is a rigorous 27-unit graduate degree aimed at the working professional. It will combine live, face-to-face classes with interactive, online course work that can be accessed from anywhere. While the coursework will be entirely online, all students will also participate in a one-week immersion in Berkeley that allows them to meet one another and the faculty as well as to interact with leading data science professionals from the San Francisco Bay Area. The program will provide hands-on experience with the diverse tools and methods for exploring and finding patterns in complicated, real-world data, and for communicating the findings with decision makers. Just like all other degree programs at the School of Information, I School faculty will teach in the program alongside experienced professionals. If you would like to learn more about the Master of Information and Data Science program, please visit us online<http://my.berkeley.edu/site/R?i=oaY1Pim2okA1ZkYYkX_2HA>to request more information or call 855.678.MIDS.
