OpenCourseWare

EFF pushing BBC into CC’ing their content
Electronic Frontier Foundation Supports BBC’s “Creative Archive” – a press release telling us about the push from EFF to influence the UK government to Creative Commons the whole back-catalogue of the BBC. Imagine that. Cut’n paste. Mix’n match. Re-use. Remix. (Oh, that all sounded very mid-90s. I’ll stop now.)
The prospect seems rather bright, though. I’d [...]
Google sets, again
I am so impressed with Google sets, where I searched for these terms. I typed in the titles of a few big RPG products, and I was a amazed at the set Google Sets could produce. Very nice.
Might be handy for idea-zapping with yourself.
Free Danish university tool
This here is a report on a piece of Danish software called Scribo which is learning tool for those who are writing academia for the first time.
It is only compatible with Win95/98.
My man Fred
He is not an addict, he has no criminal record, and he is mentally stable. Someone made a really, really bad photo here.
Blog software: bBlog and Snurf
A PHP implementation called [bBlog](http://www.bblog.com/about.php) is [Smary](http://smarty.php.net/)-centric. Neat.
Look also at [Snurf](http://bdash.bluewire.net.nz/2004/08/02/snurf-a-python-based-blogging-system/), which is a Python-based blogging system. Snurf’s designer calls attention to [a W3 document](http://www.w3.org/TR/chips/) about problems any blog designer, or CMS designer could run into.
He also [points out in a blog entry](http://bdash.bluewire.net.nz/2004/07/28/new-website-backend/) the problems he had with bBlog, what made him hack his [...]
Evil humour and 80s Movies
[Vice Guide to Everything](http://www.viceland.com/issues/v11n7/htdocs/the_vice.php) was weird. The world becomes clear, in a sexist fashion. If more people thought these exact things about these things, what a world.
Tiresome.
Ah, but this here was funny: [The Ruthless Guide to 80s Action](http://www.ruthlessreviews.com/80saction/80saction.html) collects the greatest 80s movies from 1980-1992. And some goodies are there.
Big sweaty men! Big noisy guns! [...]
Accessible FORMs
The article ["An Accessible Method of Hiding HTML Content"](http://www.webaim.org/techniques/articles/hiddentext) shows some problems with screen readers, that is tools for those with visual disabilities. When creating websites for *everyone*, the small things matter.
A Deleuze blog
[Intermezzo](http://www.aquasonido.net/current/) blogs his progress through Gilles Deleuze’s “A Thousand Plateaus”. He mentioned it in an Orkut group as an emergent trend amongst bloggers.
I might do that someday: and all you see me type is some inane logging of what I read: I, an automaton of thought.
Still, the idea of “blog as tool for [...]
