Dave is coving the bases before going to Harvard! I started to spec the chat-room-for-blog-post system that Russ and others described yesterday, and realized I don't know enough about IM. Can an app other than an IM client create a chat room? I don't know. I imagine it depends on which IM system one is using. [Scripting News]

I have a feeling Dave wants to cover the bases before he heads out to Harvard. First is the template issue. Hmmmmmm Now integrating another disruptive technology known as AIM into Userland products. The rest of the blogger development world is not sitting waiting for Userlnad to show the way. Userland has to be nimble.

Ok Dave, how about doing something for education....... Manila for Education. K- adult learning!

Dave must have seen TextPattern! A question for CSS design gurus. What's the best you can do with a table that has three columns like the one on Weblogs.Com. Let's see an example. I'd like the page to look good and load fast. [Scripting News]

Dave must have seen TextPattern and its layout options! ME LIKES!

Communities of Practice - The real thing!. Here is an excellent example of a medical team building their own Community of Practice using Radio so that they can serve their own Community better. [Robert Paterson's Radio Weblog]

This looks like it kicks serious ass. From their "What we're doing" document:

It seems very likely that the needed essential innovation in healthcare is sociological, more than technological innovation, more than economic innovation. We have more advanced medical technology than we can currently deliver to patients. We spend abut twice as much per person on healthcare delivery in the US as is spent in Great Britain and there is little to indicate our patients have better health or higher satisfaction as a result. The sociological innovation will be discovering how to cooperate. Some community will discover how they can cooperate among providers and with patients. That is the highly leveraged innovation. That community will change everything for the rest. The sciences of complex adaptive systems and social networks need to come together. To these we need to add the art of community conversations.

Nothing ever more true! Serendipity defined. Franklin P. Adams. "I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way." [Quotes of the Day] [Seb's Open Research]

In hunting down a solution, I often find myself either learning around the problem or being diverted from my search by some information that just captures my attention. Serenedipity is part of the fun of the Internet.
