Digest #155
|
|
Ok, I admit it. My favorite article of the week is the one about SCO -- Santa Cruz Operation -- and Pizza Hut creating the first ever pizza ordering system over the internet. It was 1994 and it happened in Santa Cruz. (NB: I worked at SCO from 1989 to 2002.) We've got a variety of news from UCSC this week. In one story, four games by UCSC students have been nominated for awards at the IndieCade Festival, the biggest event in the indie games community. The public is invited to the opening celebration of the UCSC Silicon Valley Center, featuring a series of TED-style talks. It's free. Dovetail Genomics and Illumina have signed a co-marketing agreement. Sean Tario interviews Reesa Abrams. And, there's more.
We have the news you need to know. So, scroll down and start reading!
