Netbook Reader: Library on your computer
“Even more amazing is a simple Adobe Air application for Linux, Mac and Windows which can give you almost instant access to any of these works. The somewhat confusingly named NetBook Reader is perhaps better called Netbook Library, because that’s what it is: an instant library for your netbook or any other computer. The Netbook Reader software allows you to quickly search all of Project Gutenberg and then read any text you find almost instantly. Best of all, it will cache content you download for offline reading later.”

“Because men had exclusive power in both private and public life, they controlled their surrounding environment and the way in which space was designed and decorated. Consequently, the world was once a very masculine place.
Thankfully, we’ve made progress in the area of gender equality and women have brought their influence to bear in both the home and the workplace. However, as with many other areas of modern life, the pendulum has swung from one extreme to the other; instead of creating a world that’s friendly to both male and female space, we’ve created one that benefits female space at the expense of male space.”

Things You Really Need to Learn ~ Stephen’s Web ~ by Stephen Downes
“But what should you learn? Your school will try to teach you facts, which you’ll need to pass the test but which are otherwise useless. In passing you may learn some useful skills, like literacy, which you should cultivate. But Guy Kawasaki is right in at least this: schools won’t teach you the things you really need to learn in order to be successful, either in business (whether or not you choose to live life as a toady) or in life.
