Joshua Klein and the Intelligence of Crows
Joshua Klein will hack anything that moves -- his list includes "social systems, computer networks, institutions, consumer hardware and animal behavior." His latest project, though charmingly low-tech, has amazing implications for the human-animal interface.
Right now, Klein is working at Frog Design as a Principle Technologist, while developing mobile/social applications, health care-related systems and other tools that improve people's lives. He's the author of the novel Roo'd, which was the first modern book (after Tarzan) to be ported to the iPhone.
"Klein envisions a new symbiotic relationship between these intelligent birds and the humans
that encroach on their habitat. ... Why not turn a longstanding rivalry between man and crow
into something that profits both species?"
