Among the chaff of email spam are a few gems. Here is one from Ian in Spain who has figured out how to leverage RSS, blogs, and Feed2JS to generate a dynamic site:

A “web good dog” to Will Richardson for sharing a link to his Learning Times presentation– see Now THAT Was Fun…and Educational (What a Concept!).

NBC’s “hit show” Medium is about a psychic who is helping solve cases in what is purported to be Phoenix, Arizona.
