BlackboardBlog: Ocotillo: blogs, wikis, discussion boards are standing by: "Each group publishes their activities, findings, ideas on a weblog. Each group also has a wiki of its own to build collaborative resources, and a discussion board to have 'conversations' ... The weblog is where groups publish updates, information, commentary. Ideas are exchanged in the discussion area while the wiki is the place where anyone can collaboratively build resource collections. ... So four groups times a blog, wiki, and board = 12 information sources plus a blog for the General faculty Ocotillo chair and we have it all tied together with RSS or RSS-like feeds to present a dashboard view of all the activity... we call Ocotillo Central"

StuffIt Expander: When some files are delivered via email, they're encoded in a standard Internet format known as 'MIME.' Most email programs support this standard, and will transparently decode the 'MIME' file for you. A few email programs, and any web-based email systems (like Yahoo Mail, Juno.com, and others) have trouble with the MIME files. StuffIt Expander can decode these files for you when your email program can't. It's available for free in both Macintosh and Windows versions.

USB 2.0 Hi-Speed drive review on Ars Technica (6/2003): "Unfortunately, the phrase 'USB 2.0' does not necessarily mean 480Mbps of throughput. USB 2.0 now has three different signaling rates: Low Speed (1.5Mbps), Full Speed (12Mbps), and Hi-Speed (480Mbps). The marketing and advertising departments of product manufacturers like to put the words 'USB 2.0' on all of their product packages. " So, what does this mean for extension cables? I just paid $20 for a 6 ft Belkin cable at Staples, that claims to support "Fastest 12 Mbps transfer speed." Hmm!
