Holonics Presentation
At our January 2004 meeting, Jim Barlow, President of Western Reserve Controls, gave a great presentation on holonics. For any of you who missed it, the presentation is posted over at the Western Reserve Controls website.
The August 16th edition of Crain's Cleveland Business features an article on holonics (requires subscription) and how it could help revitalize Northeast Ohio manufacturing. Jim Barlow is quoted extensively, as is our own Dennis Adamkiewicz. For those who don't have a Crain's subscription, here is a short snippet from the article:

High-tech ministers such as Jim Barlow, president of Western Reserve Controls Inc., and Dennis Adamkiewicz, chief operating officer of Quantum Electronic Development, along with others, are working to capture the interest and money needed to put years of research into application.
If implemented, holonic controls would be the first major change in automation in 40 years. Developers liken it to a change as big as the switch from mainframe computers to the Internet.
So, just what are holonic controls? Simply put, the controls are a production concept. They are placed in computers to communicate intelligently with other devices involved in the manufacturing process so that production can be managed automatically. Holonic controls allow the efficient operation of complex production while decreasing its costs.

New FeedBurner Newsfeed
I had a request to create a newsfeed (RSS feed) for this blog that was something other than the ATOM format. Apparently some newsreaders don't accommodate ATOM.
I finally was able to do it with an awesome service over at FeedBurner.
To use the new RSS feed format, right click on the FeedBurner chicklet, and copy shortcut and paste into your newsreader program:
The FeedBurner chicklet also will have a permanent home over on the right sidebar under "Weblog Information."
Also, I've created the following FeedBurner Headline Animator (also apears on the right sidebar) which shows the 5 most recent headlines from this site. If you want to include the headlines on your site, feel free. The easiest way is to copy the image and paste it wherever you want it:
FeedBurner is a neat service and has lots of other useful features, including some "hacks" for developers who want to personalize their feeds and their blogs.
