Rodent Regatta

Today I stumbled into Bloxsom and GeekNewz.

Then, tonight, I see that Jeffrey Veen points to Whisper for quiet content management.

The not-so-quiet part of the web can be seen in The Three Scourges.

My weekend of browsing and all the discussion of the Movable Type announcement clarified some things. I learned of the LAMP acronym. I like the notion of using tools that are open and widely known. The challenge of really learning PHP, MySQL, Apache and Linux is (at least) intellectually intriguing, if not particularly practical for someone like me. Though those are key web technologies, is it reasonable to think they can be learned late in life? We’ll see.
