A plea to remove specific journal formatting from the work of submitting articles for review. As a reviewer I'd like to see a reviewer format as the default. Maybe start with double spacing the text? - Bill Anderson

How to Save the World: An Unschooling Manifesto - http://blogs.salon.com/0002007...
D Pollard describes his own experiences with independent study and also critiques the current (Canadian and US) public education system. It's worth reading all the comments. And while I agree that self-directed learning is the only kind that works, moving from the current system to an "un-system" will require effort and persistence. The thought scares me. - Bill Anderson

This looks pretty darn interesting: "A few simple conventions, together with RDF and SPARQL, can turn your Twitter feeds into rich information streams, which you can then use for a more productive microblogging experience. The following sections explain how to: * Enhance microposts with machine-extractable data * Query the extracted data with SPARQL * Generate custom streams and reports to support your personal workflow" - Bill Anderson
