Thanks to all....Dean and Gottfried 

 TO OUR READERS: WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK:

	Complexity Digest was founded in 1999 to promote networking of the complexity
community by using the Internet to link to electronic publications related to
Complexity. And we may have contributed to its present status where complexity,
multi-disciplinary, dynamic studies are accepted parts of any academic field and
are used to solve problems....although often with a different lexicon.

Are we serving our market...you, the readers? In bringing webcasts to you of
meetings we cannot all attend, does that help you? Are we pointing out
literature that you want to explore more thoroughly?

And most important to those of us who work each week to bring ComDig to you,
what should we be doing now to strengthen the Complexity network?

You can help by participating in this short survey......thanks.

Excerpts: It's been 10 years since Alex "Sandy" Pentland's graduate students
began strolling around the MIT campus looking like cyborgs, straining under the
weight of bulky "wearable" computers and heavy-duty eyeglasses with built-in
displays.  Now Pentland is taking a lighter approach to the problem of melding
man and machine, collaborating with haute couture designers such as Jean Paul
Gaultier on cyborg-inspired fashions built from so-called smart fabrics. 
Designs incorporating computer chips and sensors could monitor the wearer's
health, or extend their social network, Pentland said here recently at a
futuristic fashion show presented by the Materials Research Society, or MRS,
where he cited Star Trek as a major inspiration.
