ECMAScript Menu System. Not only is this one of the better tutorials I've seen on the subject, it's also a nice way to demonstrate the separation of content and style, the way online content should be (and is almost never) designed. Technical, but a competent reader can skip the code and get the gist. By Unattributed, Juicy Studio, January 22, 2005 [Refer][Research][Reflect] [OLDaily]

W3C launches Binary XML Packaging [Slashdot:] now there is an XML envelope that will be able to package and label any type of data file.  The upshot is that xml can be degraded to the level of a packing slip with the potential for as much markup "as is needed" to make the package usable.  For Learning Object Repositories this means that it is now white feasible to provide learning objects "packaged" with binary data programs to "view" the LO's in the students local environment (with optional packaging depending on the local environment).  This goes a long way to solving the legacy viewer problem as the learning object age over time in the collection.  At its worst XHTML will be able to package and transmit viruses and at its best personalized accessiblity intrefaces for persons with disabilities can be bundled in as part of the learning object package so that the learning is truly accessible to all. -- BL

Arf! Can Your Hear Me Now? Woof!. <>More from the weird web department... can anyone guess who's remaindered links I am plundering?? 

Anyhow, as a DOG themed corner of the web and a techie, I gave some serious perusal of Pet's Mobility:

PetsMobility™ Network, Inc. (PetsMobility™) is a wireless communications company that will be providing innovative wireless communication products and services to the rapidly growing multi-billion dollar pet market segment...

PetsMobility™ has the first ever Cellular Telephone for pets and will provide a full range of wireless communication hardware and accessories for the pet industry... The patent pending PetsMobility™ PetsCell TM will be compatible with existing cellular and satellite GPS technology. The PetsCell™ will allow pet owners to talk to their pets as well as allowing owners to request assistance should they become incapacitated and require help. In addition, and perhaps more valuable, pet owners will have a piece of mind that if their pet is lost and someone finds their pet wandering the streets, with a simple press of a button on the PetsCell™, the auto dial function will dial the owners home alerting the owner to retrieve their pet.

(emphasis added) Wow, as a pet owner I thought I had a "piece" of my own mind already.<>So not only does Fido get their own phone number, you can call and chat with him/her any time. But what do I think if I get a busy signal? Should I opt for call waiting for the dog? It does not say if the dog gets voicemail, a camera phone, games, etc or if the dog's phone is web ready. Only the best will do.[cogdogblog]
