2009-07-02: Today the Director announces that when the XHTML 2 Working Group charter expires as scheduled at the end of 2009, the charter will not be renewed. By doing so, and by increasing resources in the HTML Working Group, W3C hopes to accelerate the progress of HTML 5 and clarify W3C's position regarding the future of HTML. A FAQ answers questions about the future of deliverables of the XHTML 2 Working Group, and the status of various discussions related to HTML. - Robert Felty from Bookmarklet

Paul, I have 5 now. 4 are pretty similar. I like wordpress a lot. I have learned a ton about php, mysql, javascript and css from doing it (and am starting to get some nice donations from doing it) - Robert Felty

"For most kids, the static electricity that builds up as they go down playground slides does little more than make their hair stand on end. But for thousands of hearing-impaired children, static can shut down their cochlear implants in an instant." - Robert Felty from Bookmarklet

"By hooking sensors to children as they slid down slides in St. Louis and Tucson, Arizona, the scientists found that children easily built up 25,000 volts of electricity, the limit of the measuring devices." - joneilortiz

"Officers came to a parking lot at the corner of 64th Avenue and Ward Road responding to a call of a cowboy who couldn't stay in the saddle.

Another great article from The Economist. Right now in the US we have the First Time homebuyers credit that seeks to put new people in empty foreclosed houses (paraphrasing but mostly true). But it's hard to anyone to get a loan unless your credit rating is high. We'll likely have excess supply for some time, so rates will be cheap for awhile. But what will happen 2-5 years from now? - Mike Reynolds

I agree. What I've done is heat water up in a pyrex measuring cup in the microwave and immerse the bottle in the warm water. Later on, if I want to heat another bottle, I just reheat the same water in the microwave. I've been told that the resources used for the energy to heat up the water is much greater than the resources used in just letting tap water run until it gets warm. That may be true, but I'd still use the microwave over letting the tap water run. - April Buchheit
