Ray is right on. The personal PC server is where the trends are taking us. Composite web apps that are easily customized to fit personal needs. Two-way publishing. P2P connectivity for personal groupware. WiFi connectivity.
The mainframe model of the Web has run its course. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

Cool. Caltech course notes and homework assignments for a course on Quantum Computing. You gotta love the way Caltech and MIT are putting course notes online (althought MIT hasn't launched yet from what I have seen). Does anyone have any links to advanced courses in the Humanities that are online? [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

"There are major corporations that no longer have IT departments and simply rely on the Geek Squad."
Now this is something cool! And the model can easily be adapted to any town, anywhere. I'm an informal 'helpdesk' to about 15 people myself, and I'm only a wanna be geek. Definitely going to look into this some more. [Adam Curry: Adam Curry's Weblog]

Greg Ritter on SchoolBlogs: "Look, people, the idea that techology is a panacea is so 1997. I don't know anybody in education (or educational technology providers) who still really believes that. Everybody knows that the technology doesn't solve education's problems and, in fact, presents some entirely new ones. Everybody except the media, that is."

Just added a blogchalk to my right margin. This would be smoother if it was a Radio macro or preference item. The idea of finding webloggers by location is potentially very useful. It would make polical use of weblogs easier for example. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

Marc Cantor is blogging up a storm. It is amazing what desktop to Web software can do with people that are really leveraging themselves. Something about doing things on servers is passive, weak, and remote. Given trends in computing and networking it is extremely possible that in less than 10 years a person could run a personal site on their PC that interacts with a million people for not much more than what you pay today. Why be on the wrong side of history (or spend the time learning about stuff that won't matter in a couple of years)? [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

I am starting to work on an active outline for the widely read news subscriptions. Still need to find an elegant way to insert the coffee mug that links to Radio's fast subscription feature. I like the presentation of this better than yesterday's effort. It will allow me to scale the number of sources better. Let me know if you have any ideas. [John Robb's Radio Weblog]
