Creative Commons
Friday, May 6, 2005
While I was looking for some flash animations to show at a workshop in Ogallala, NE on Thursday, I came across a fun couple of videos that described what creative commons was. I've heard about creative commons for a long time and knew the basics of what the system was, but after discussion on Thursday decided that I should learn more about it. I visited their site to take a good look and was really impressed by what is there.

Blogs vs Wikis
Tuesday, May 3, 2005
I'm exploring the differences between blogs and wikis and am a little confused as to why there isn't more collaboration between the two models. Perhaps there is something about wikis that I'm just not understanding, but the biggest thing that I just can not figure out with them is how one is to manage the front page. Most wiki's that am finding are using blog-like formats but are not using blog software to do it.
Adam Curry: Getting Sirius
Monday, May 2, 2005
NY Times: "Adam Curry will produce and be host of a four-hour program every weekday starting May 13 on Sirius Satellite Radio." Argh! This satellite radio thing is really starting to get me frustrated. I will be getting a XM radio in the mail soon and I'm very excited about that. I can't wait to start listening to Sox games on WEEI, the way they are meant to be heard.

IE 7 to be compatible?
Thursday, April 28, 2005
This story came out a few days ago, but I wanted to get it up here. C|Net posted an article about Microsoft's planned Internet Explorer 7 that discloses that they are planning to make it more standards-compliant. Support for both CSS and PNGs should be much better in it. Alleluia. If it turns out to be a pretty good browser, I'm curious what will happen to Firefox's growing market-share.
