Oh yeah. Here's a wizzy text editor in Flash. Bing. Thanks to Jon Udell for the link. (For Radio/Mac users, this could be the way we get a wizzy editor in MSIE/Mac.)  [Scripting News]

Go USA in the World Cup No one respected the USA team. Hell yeah I am for the USA soccer team. Heard a comment that amounted to me being a sell out or something of that nature for not supporting Mexico's soccer team. No disrespect, but I am second generation, and my feet are firmly planted here! The US played with heart. What more can you ask.

Do a view source on this page on Colin Faulkingham's site. He's got a RadioPoint slide show in a single file. He asks how to get RadioPoint to output one of these. Who needs RadioPoint for that? Just read the OPML source and do the same thing. Great work Colin.  [Scripting News]

THe Chicago Area Writing Project and SIOP Today the first seven classroom teachers are leaving this evening for Long Beach, California. They are participating in the Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol (SIOP) model for teaching content to English language learners "train the trainer" workshops. http://www.cal.org We hope to get our professional development training off to a running start by having the Chicago Area Writing Project working onsite at Whittier School. What better organization to model good professional development seminars! We hope to lock down dates and programs soon! Hopefully we can start an inquiry into how both the Writing Project and SIOP can enrich each other. The National Writing Project's ELL folks want hear about our progress in this area.

Starting work on a new tool, My Weblog Outliner. I just wrote up the design and am beginning work on the implementation. The goal is to offer a way for any blogger to edit posts in an outliner, even if they use another weblog tool, Blogger, Movable Type, Manila, etc; or post directly to weblogData.root, if it's a Radio weblog. This begins a new direction, providing tools that enhance the writing experience with Radio, even if you publish to a non-Radio weblog. As the market develops, people who are really interested, will use all the tools. This was what we saw in desktop publishing, people would use Pagemaker for some things, Quark for others, and add a bevy of compatible tools, like PhotoShop, Illustrator, scripting, databases, word processors, image managers, etc. That's going to happen with Web publishing too.  [Scripting News]
