Mathematica 7
December 3rd, 2008

The new version of Mathematica apparently does some really nifty image and video processing. I’m looking forward to scripting image manipulations in a real programming language (I’m looking at you, Photoshop). It even does edge detection! Wolfram posted a brief tutorial on their blog which shows off some awesomeness.
Tomorrow morning Harry Schwartz is heading right down to the IT desk to pick up his university-purchased copy (Harry Schwartz sees no reason to ever leave academia).
Additionally! If my blog isn’t lying to me, this is the 100th post! I didn’t really intend for this mystical number to be used up on an unpaid shill for Wolfram, but that’s just how it goes. Maybe I’ll save #200 for Noam Chomsky.*
