This is not, I repeat, this is not my old CamWorld (pioneering blog) site from the late 1990s. :-)

Drupal is a great platform as well. I work with K-12 school districts every day and the majority are not choosing Drupal because the support and custom Drupal development needed is too expensive. Instead, they are choosing WordPress. The ex

Yes, that is exactly right. Public school districts can no longer use E-Rate (federal money) funds to pay for web site hosting or web site management systems. The FCC decided to re-allocate $5 billion in E-Rate funds for a 5-year wifi roll-

This is a really smart acquisition. WordPress continues to dominate the CMS market. With the upcoming REST API, it's only going to get better. I'm watching niche CMS industry after niche CMS industry crumble under the continual mi

A large percentage of the Zuckerberg money went towards the NTU teacher contract that rewards teachers with bonuses based on performance. http://www.njspotlight.com/stories/13/10/22/explainer-mark-z...

This is great, if....the school software vendors adopt it as a standard and allow their systems to be Clever-enabled. I work for a large school district and a large majority of our vendor solutions come with their own proprietary, locked-do

I believe this is the why our Armed Forces recruiters often have the names, addresses and phone numbers of our graduating seniors every year. It's usually up to the school administrators to release this information upon request, and mo

Most successful designers need at least a small amount of natural talent. You can be taught the principals of design in school or you can pick them up from books, but without some small amount of natural talent you will be just another aver

This is tough. I've known Tim for a long, long time and he's always been a stand-up guy with amazing ethics and vision. I also know Laurie and worked with her briefly when I was helping to co-author a long-forgotten O'Reilly book on Mozilla

Congratulations to LayerVault on their biggest day of traffic ever. Whether this brew-ha-ha was intentional or not, a lot more people are now aware of them than before today. I like browsing their Designer News links on a daily basis, but I

It's interesting what Dustin is trying, but I find the utter lack of design personality across the sites to be quite off-putting. It's trying to fix 200+ differently-shaped circles into the exact same square.

I understand the problem, and I feel for these people who have the crushing student loan debt. I left college with a lot of student loan but debt, too. I struggled but managed to pay it off in less than 5 years. This required sacrifice, har

I love Lanyrd. You have gone and built something that is better than what came before you. I conceived a startup in in 2006 called Confabb.com that strove to be what Lanyrd has become. Great work!

The chalk dot on the wall story comes directly from a 1983 book called "A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative" by Roger VonOech. A proper credit or footnote would be nice.

If there were a biography of Dave Winer, I would read it. I might not like it all that much, but I would certainly read it and probably garner some great insight from it.

I don't hate recruiters. There are a few really great ones and a whole lot of really bad ones. I don't fault them for trying to make a living, but I do recognize that the entire practice of placement fees is what drives these bad behaviors.

This is good news. Chad will be the type of CEO that understands code and how innovation in that area will lead to new opportunities for Etsy. The history of the Internet is littered with great dot-com ideas that were ruined by clueless C

> Mozilla adopted rapid release but kept publicizing each major version like it was a big deal and giving end users ways to opt out other than turning off updates completely. This is a BAD idea. Yes, this is the correct way to think abo

I don't think it's about money. I feel that Mozilla has made a strategic mistake in switching to a very rapid release schedule. My clients keep saying things like, "Firefox 5? Didn't Firefox 4 just come out like two months ago?" I haven't e

Centralizing it so it's under one person's control? That doesn't make much sense at all.

That's a classic. My old pioneering blog, camworld, is in there a few times. But I sold the domain several years ago. It's a porn site now. Oh well, the times. They do change...

I used to hate Facebook, but over the years I've come to enjoy it. But now I am starting to hate it again. The reasons have nothing to do with Facebook's privacy issues or Facebook's business decisions. No, the issues I am having are that F

Email newsletter? Is there some legal non-compete that Calcanis is under after selling Weblogs, Inc to AOL that prevents him from running a blog as a business?
