Pirate Radio Challenges Feds
Attendees at a secret "free radio" camp learn how to build their own FM transmitters and evade detection by the FCC. The rogue radio broadcasters claim it's their right to be on the air; feds say they interfere with legit radio signals. From Wired News on September 24, 2006 at 4:45 p.m..

Grazr
This must be one of Dave Winers favourites: Grazr is a Flash based outline browser: You can link to OPML files (that again may link to OPML files). You can create virtual hierarchies of OPML files, RSS feeds and other Grazr outlines. Winer called that idea a owrede_log on September 24, 2006 at 11:45 a.m..

DOEP (Daily Open-Ended Puzzle) (intermittent): Rivers
This episode of DOEP is yet another excuse for me to be dumb in public. This time, it's about rivers. Why does the mighty Mississippi roar? I'm pretty sure it's not because of that powerful north-to-south gravity that's so obvious on globes. Well, at least on globes that, in a fit of blatant hemispheric jingoism, put the north on top. Let me generalize: Why do rivers have currents? And if it's because they come from melted snow rushing down mountains, then why are there rivers in the summer? And how do you explain the Amazon? Or the Nile? Or the... From Joho the Blog on September 24, 2006 at 7:48 a.m..

Mitchell Weisburgh - PilotEd - PILOTed
Mitch Weisburgh's newsletter, which I have been reading foir many years, is now a blog. " I've changed my PILOTed newsletter to a blog...

Various authors - Language tags in HTML and XML - W3C
Some changes in the way XML and HTML declare languages; these may also impact learning object metadata (LOM), which has always been bad at handling language (prefacing each sentence with a 'language string' tag). As for me, well, I am happy, I am really tired of choosing between en-US and en-GB. I don't speak either language, I speak Canadian English. Via email from Dan Rehak.

Brandon Hall has discovered social networking, and so naturally, has built a social network site that is, as they say, "Myspace.com meets LinkedIn." There is, the email advertisement said, currently no cost to join - but of course, there will be eventually. I guess we can expect special events available only to members advertised around the net. You may wonder why I didn't build something like this - I could easily have done so, and I certainly knew about this sort of approach several years ago. Simply: it's the wrong approach.
