Being more or less ‘from Maryland’ I am always on the lookout for a good crabcake. I was a busboy briefly at Thompson’s Sea Girt House when I was a teenager, which at the time had, according to Esquire Magazine, the World’s Best Crabcake.

I’ve started blogging over at Not an MBA, a collaboration among several writers interested in current business administration and entrepreneurial topics.
I ran across S5 Presents – An open-source web-based slideshow application: while I was doing some further reading about yum repositories and rpm. The S5 presents package is written in very few lines of ruby using Ruby on Rails and implements the spec proposed by Eric Meyers of CSS book fame at S5: A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System.
I found all this because of Bart Teeuwisse who had a presentation on the S5 Presents site about using yum repositories to distribute OpenACS rpms as a means of promoting the use of OpenACS and AOLserver, a very powerful webserver with great database connection pooling and embedded tcl intpereter. I’m wondering if there is some sort of sampling bias in effect. It seems like whenever I research web topics of any note I run across pages by OpenACS developers, even if they are currently developing on different platforms.
Figure its time to actually DO SOMETHING with my schemathings domain. I plan on using this forum to post my thoughts about several seemingly unrelated areas – education (a schema in the sense of a framework for understanding something), databases and good design practices that allow you to automatically generate interface (schema in the sense of a RDBMS datamodel), and knowledge representation (schema in the first sense again).
