Do techniques developed in the biological world guide efficient code writing?pindiespacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890249944815748154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11300808.post-25510419229758358152012-01-29T06:45:20.661-08:002012-01-29T06:45:20.661-08:00Thanks for this week's Fridaygram.

I did link to the wrong image – I was actually referring to a new Blue Marble image NASA released last week, although the Google Earth imagery is very cool too.
