For the time being, structured authoring managed the XML way is still implemented mainly by very large organizations: such an approach has “trickled down” from organizations the size of IBM to organizations the size of Adobe (which does, in fact, use DITA now), but there are not tool chains yet available that will bring it down much further. The failure of the W3C XML Schema Working Group to provide a functional specification supporting document-centric XML can hardly be underestimated.
As long as content is not easily authored in a semantically rich, structured fashion, the vision of the semantic web will remain an illusion. When and if document-centric XML gets more attention from standards bodies and software vendors, human communications will become far more efficient and effective.
There are many opinions in the air about the impact that virtualization has on performance, so I thought a short blog would be good to explain (as best I can) virtual machine performance characteristics with pointers to relevant benchmarks and technical papers.
My background is that I was an early Product Manager working on VMware ESX Server (from version 1.5) and among other things ran product management for VMware for a few years. As a product management guy, I kept track of the output of the engineering performance group, and as a result had a reasonable high level (although never code level) understanding of the whys and wherefores of virtualization performance. Although I’m not as fresh on virtualization as I once was, I’ll try to do my best here. I also want to thank Steve Herrod at VMware, and Simon Crosby at Citrix for providing a technical sanity check on the blog contents, although I retain responsibility for any mistakes and oversights.
JSON ... it's the intersection of all modern programming languages. All languages have some sense of data, and structures of data. They all have simple values like number strings, and booleans. They all have some sense of a sequence of values. ... Every language has some sense of a collection of named values; it might be an object, or a record, or a struct, or a hash, or a property list, or something. All languages have these, these are universal ideas.
... But they all have the same idea about what the data looks like, and JSON has the thing that's common to everything. By being at the intersection, it turns out to be the thing that everybody can agree on, so it's really easy to pass data back and forth.
Prior data interchange formats tended to try to be the union of all the languages, and that turns out to be horrendously complex, and very difficult to deal with. JSON, by being so simple, actually became really easy to use.
$('<ul><li><span class="library" /></li></ul>')
.items([
{library:'Prototype'},
{library:'jQuery'},
{library:'Dojo'},
{library:'MooTools'}
])
.chain();
Chain.js isn’t just bind data automatically to your HTML, but it also maintains and manages your data/items.
var data = {first:'Stephen', last:'Hawking'};
// Add one item
$('#persons').items('add', data);
// Remove item
$('#persons').items('remove', data);

As newsgathering continues to evolve, new ways of keeping track of current events are developing. Dave Winer joins Phil and Scott to discuss how Twitter and other social networking tools are changing the way that people read and react to the news. He talks about how he followed prior major news stories and why he now has started using social networking tools as a better way.
He then discusses his work with Twitter stats and reviews what can be learned from how Twitter works. He also reviews the possible future of these tools and assesses some of the ways that information is compiled and distributed and what might be different as time goes on.
The argument continues to this day. People who say Twitter is a conversational medium would agree with those who say Barger was the founder. I see Twitter as a publishing environment, a place to push links, a notification system. Oddly, I think Barger with his linkblog approach (which was the same as the early Scripting News or the News Page of the 24 Hours project) would agree.
The Pioneer Village complex comprises 28 buildings on 20 acres housing over 50,000 irreplaceable items of historical value, restored to operating order, arranged in groups and also in the chronological order of their development.
There are 12 historic buildings around the circular "green". There's a Frontier Fort, a real honest-to-goodness Pony Express Station, an Iron Horse, and a home made of sod. There's a general store and a toy store, chock full of all the goods from yesteryear. An original art collection including 25 Currier and Ives prints, 23 Jackson paintings, and the largest single collection of Rogers statues.
You can ride a priceless steam carousel, see 17 historic flying machines and marvel at 100 antique tractors. See the world's oldest Buick, a 1902 Cadillac and a 1903 Ford, both designed by Henry Ford, plus 350 other antique cars, all displayed in their order of development.

Again I love your writting and how you find interesting "things" to take a look at. My fathers family worked for Crane and Co. for generations. My grandmother, great grandparents and great great grandparents as well as many assorted aunts and uncles are burried in Dalton in a family plot awarded to the family years and years ago as a "perk" of working for the mills. I have spent endless afternoons sifting through the old hand written birth and death records in Dalton doing family research and indeed I have been to the museum. A small but interesting place.... the size of the museum does not do the mills justice... there is so much the mills and the crane's have done for that small community than can be depicted in that tiny building.
