"Our weblog project is doing well. In
14 weeks we got past the 1,000 post mark. These posts are written by
students and school staff. The project is well-established and already
several collaboration projects loom on the horizon for next school
year. I may be repeating myself, but our main hindrance to publishing is still access to computers."
They're shooting for one of them "laptops in school" pilot projects -
here's to hoping they get selected. It was so cool and inspiring to see
the Institut St-Joseph kids running around and blogging on their mini Macs at ICEM'04.
The future is not evenly distributed, but perhaps my readers are? (I'd be surprised) Click here if you don't see the poll just below (it won't show in many aggregators):
I made a little Google it
bookmarklet that lets you search Google for a chunk of text that you've
highlighted. Just drag the previous link to your links bar, highlight
some text, and click the bookmarklet. Tested in Mozilla Firefox. (I
know Firefox has a "web search for..." that appears upon
right-clicking, but it doesn't seem to work in my setup.)
This one
works too, and opens results in a new window; the only problem is that
its requests seems to get intercepted by Firefox's popup blocker. If
anyone know how to get around this, thanks in advance!
