I’ve been running a series of workshops on basic web page design and creation with a group of students here at the Drama School, a topic that has been a staple of my teaching over the last 6 years. But for this session I’ve taken a very different approach, and I find that I’m liking it.
Here is an interesting article on Elgg, which I am seeing mentioned more and more lately. I did a quick look at it a long while ago, but I think it may be time to give it a fresh evaluation.

I just caught a mention of this conference coming up in April. It is entirely online and free to participate in. The teaching track taking place between April 3-7 and the Websites/web development track from April 24 - 28 are right up my alley.
Time to Settle up with Sony BMG. If you bought a CD in the last year, check this list of Sony CDs that contained the flawed DRM software. Playing these flawed disks on your computer could leave you vulnerable to security risks, and otherwise mess up your computer. But a settlement is in place. More information is available on the EFF web site (link below.)
I caught this thread on Making RSS Easier from the Shifted Librarian blog. It’s funny how often we techie/early-adopter types get used to code words and jargon and never think that it may be scaring off potential new users. Most people don’t really care what RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, Atom, and all the other stuff means, they just want ‘IT” to work. And if a new icon can help bring the revolotuion on then I’m all for it.
I got the heads up on this movement in the French Parliament to broaden user rights to break DRM protections to give them greater control over how they use content they’ve purchased. One issue is the right to break Apple’s iTunes DRM to allow purchased content to be playable on non-iPod devices.
