CSS, RSS and all I always wanted to know about the semantic web -and didn't know who to ask about!

That's what I'm on today. I've left aside TS2 for a while -yes, you heard right, just for a while- and I'm devoting my efforts to this other thing that I'm just beginning to discover. I was stuck to web 1.0, according to what I've been reading these days, so I must hop to web 2.0 if a want my websites to be cool. And I do.
I know I'm late far more frequently than I'd like to, but today I came across these articles:



and now I worship every word of them. They have deserved a root folder in my bookmarks, which is something extraordinary.
Well, don't take my word so literally! ;-P

Today's song






Goodbye Yellow Brick, by Elton John. And, no doubt, George Michael's duet with John in Don't let the sun go down on me.

Reasonably happy

There's a little paper craft back at school that I found several days ago at The Toy Maker. It consists of a Thanksgiving candy box with six Thank You coins. I though it was a nice paper craft for children to make and also for we, grown-ups. Just think about it -it sounds like the desert island question-, who would you give your six coins to? You've got only six, so you must choose most accurately six people -animals are admitted too, according to my very own rules- you would give one of your precious -and scant- coins.






What criteria would rule your gratitude? Would you give them out all in a while? Would you wait for one of those special occasions to give them out? Would you mind if your family and friends found out what you were doing? Would you exclude people who only occasionally did a favour to you? Material favours? Family or friends? Would you include your colleagues too?





Aren't you thinking how stupid these questions are? Why are we -you and me- wasting our time with this Thank You coins stuff? As far as I'm concerned this is a recurrent type of ideas coming to my mind when I'm extremely tired. My brain eludes to take charge of major ideas such as projects, commitments or whatever I'm supposed to respond to and easily sails away and meets these thoughts in its way. And then just lets them sail on by. And that's when I feel reasonably happy and at ease.
