Phlogiston

No, seriously, it’s true.

I’ve just come across the hResume Project; they have a great slogan—”spreading Microformats one plugin at a time”. This is basically a project to create plugins for various web publishing and content management systems that allows you to create a resume/CV using the hResume microformat. Good stuff.

Yet another great piece by Cory Doctorow: InformationWeek | Digital Rights Management | Opinion: Apple’s Copy Protection Isn’t Just Bad For Consumers, It’s Bad For Business | July 31, 2006. I really think that Doctorow is the one true voice of sanity when it comes to Digital Rights Management, and in this piece he carefully explains why it is both bad for consumers and the music business. In a related piece on InformationWeek, I see that Yahoo! are seeing sense and beginning to distribute music without DRM.
