    Thanks for sharing that group, Mark. It hadn't even occurred to me to look for it, since I assumed (for some reason) that it would be a closed group. I'll certainly take a look at it later today.

    I've been asked by a number of people, both within and outside of the university community, why I chose the MAIS program. I feel like I've talked about it endlessly, but that's mostly been in face-to-face conversations with friends and family. The...

    I have been tentatively accepted into MAIS as a non-program student. Once my transcript arrives from the U of A, I'll be able to register for courses. This was the easy part. As I do intend to eventually become a program student, barring some...

    The semantic web seems to be one of those ideas that keeps getting mentioned as "the next big thing" and "just around the corner." So far, it has yet to develop in a meaningful way (as far as I've been able to tell). I understand the concept behind...

    I love the comparison of Twitter to USENET and IRC. I've often thought of Twitter as something of an update on the idea of a chat room, but "chat room" has certain connotations that I'd rather not transfer to Twitter, especially when I'm describing...

    Thanks for casting your vote, Leslie. And, more importantly, thank you for taking the time to write an explanation. The extra information, beyond your vote in the poll, is much appreciated.
