Detergent Redux. When Detergent was first created, it's sole goal was to be a dumping ground for various ideas and mini-projects that just weren't strong enough to stand on their own. While that may have been true with the random quotes and ever-so-popular SHEEP MOVIE, it wasn't quick and easy for me to add stuff - it was more an exercise in mindless HTML templating and worthless introductory hyperbole.

My Radio... Now it gets interesting.
Check out this "early release" of an extension of the Radio Userland world. From the developers' about page:
This Tool extends the Radio Userland aggregator from rss to any networked data (xml, html, soap, personalized services, etc), and any layout. It is exceedingly simple for developers to add functionality to the framework. The GUI (screenshot) is reminiscent of My Yahoo! and other server based personalization tools.

Greg Hanek on Educational uses of Weblogs. Quote: "For sometime now, I've been pondering what role the use of blogs might have in the classroom. I have even made some half-attempts at writing down my thoughts about same, and sent a few emails about same. Now it's time to start going more public with some of my half-baked notions, and seeing what discourse might come about from it"
Comment: Seems like a plan. The list is good. Faculty do want engaged students and that frequently means reflective students. To reflect you need a personal space to do it in, ergo weblogs. [Serious Instructional Technology]
