DISQUS

Nice to see an update, particularly with the new version control systems. Thanks!

A week ago Saturday, some friends and I watched the Subconscious Art of Graffiti Removal. I don't know why my sister's roommate had the eclectic collection of short films, but it was interesting. You can watch some of it at http://www.rodeofilmco.com/films/video_graffiti...

Ew, looks like a Mac! I don't mind the pink though...

Mean, yet cute!!

P.S. the link on the jack-o-latern is wrong.. it goes to an admin page

Just in my newsreader: http://www.eaipatterns.com/ramblings/59_mashupe...


P.S. the instructions above this comment box say "XHTML: You can use these tags:". If you're really limiting it to no html, you can probably come up with a better message than that.

Yahoo Pipes can also fetch CSV, XML, JSON, and iCal files. It doesn't have to be collection/list semantics like an RSS feed. Although I haven't used any of those, so I'm not exactly sure how the operators would work on them.

Fresnel (http://www.w3.org/2005/04/fresnel-info/) is a declarative format for how RDF should be presented. None of the interactive features that Exhibit gives you, would be possible. Maybe. But it could be a nice way to have a RDF-driven homepage.

I KNEW it! Kyle gave it away months ago with his http://del.icio.us/kadams54/baby bookmarks. He tried to deny it though.

Oh yeah, congrats! Babies are fun

Real world application: embedded RDF in media files ala XMP. Adobe already supports this, as does the International Press & Telecommunications Council. Windows Vista will support it.

projects.apache.org generates their pages from DOAP files, with some apache extensions

My Konfidi project uses several RDF schemas to describe trust relationships between entities.

RDF may not be great for the browser-web, but it's great for machine interchange of information. What SQL databases are to internal apps, RDF should be for external apps.

Also check out http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/blogger/100-most-commo... for a pulse on what RDF schemas are popular.

So when will your photos and blog posts show up on http://technorati.com/tag/barcampgrandrapids ?

I'm glad to see in your "quick aside" that you realize the Semantic Web is much much more than what you and Christian are discussing. But in a discussion of semantics, why then do you ignore that fact and keep calling it the "semantic web"?? It's "semantic (x)html" you're talking about.

The semantic web http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/ says "It is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF)."

A more powerful system than microformats is RDFa http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-rdfa-primer/ allowing one to embed RDF semantics into HTML using a microformats-style. There are other specs for embedding RDF into HTML. And you can suck those various forms of RDF data out of the HTML using GRDDL http://www.w3.org/2004/01/rdxh/spec

too dark and hard to read!

Smart people get rich; smart rich people do good things?



But seriously... Disney may be a significant step bigger than Pixar, but I didn't hear anybody fussing about Jobs being CEO of Pixar and Apple earlier.

So... kelly's taken over site administration since Kyle obviously can't handle it?

bappy hirthday!

And you strip links too. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Online_music_databases

What are those itms: links? How about linking to a more accessible online music database

Great quote from C.S. Lewis... I really should read Mere Christianity one of these days.



Since you suggest there be two types of marriages, state and church, there should be laws governing church marriages. Each religion and denomination should make clear it's stance and have some method of enforcing it. And what will be done if a "rogue" clergy marriess against the will of his denomination.

Too bad nobody started this 1000 years ago so we could enjoy it now.

Do you have a Catholic background Kyle? From my general knowledge of Catholicism I picked up on zero of the points you mentioned.



And good for you on being a youth leader! My youth leaders have been some of the most influential people in my life.

Well trackback is an open protocol developed by the folks at MT. They encourage other programs to implement it so that it isn't limited to just MT. But I haven't seen any that do.

I recall hearing about this ideas this summer. While I believe yours is more communication-based, http://familysite.sourceforge.net/ may be of interest. It was our 247 project last year and is more information-based (geneology, calendar, photos, etc). Take a look if you like, there's even a live demo. Perhaps one day the two could be combined into a very powerful and useful system. Maybe.

wow... an image of a URL. try this one:
