It’s a great overview that not only brings you up to speed if you haven’t been following the whole thing, but also puts [...] - Adding network services without the overhead (Fri, 03 Oct 2008 11:42:16 -0700)

Okay, this is outrageous. International Talk Like a Pirate Day is, well, let’s not exaggerate or anything, but maybe Yom Kippur is more holy. It’s the kind of thing that keeps us sane, and makes life worth living, day after drudging day. So using it to make headlines about copyright “piracy” is just [...] - Erwin Panofsky, Online Publishing, and Serendipity/Adjacency (Fri, 19 Sep 2008 07:26:48 -0700)

I’ve just come back from a two-day stint at the Tate Modern attending a Handheld Conference: From Audiotours to iPhones. The format was a one-day workshop of invitees (lah di dah) followed by a one-day syposium open to all. From the promotional blurb: Are museums ready to play in the digital age?
