Topic: Miscellaneous 11:52 pm EST, Mar 22, 2006

The dark thriller with contemporary political overtones was adapted by the Wachowski brothers, of Matrix fame. But the authors of the graphic novel, written in the 1980s, have distanced themselves from the film, which follows a masked rebel battling a fascist state.

V for Vendetta - Review: Who Is This Masked Avenger?
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:52 pm EST, Mar 22, 2006

Thumb suckers of the world unite, the most hotly anticipated film of the, er, week, "V for Vendetta," has arrived, complete with manufactured buzz and some apparently genuine British outrage. Concocted by the same team behind the "Matrix" franchise, this future-shock story about a masked avenger at war with a totalitarian British regime was drawn along the usual Orwellian lines but is clearly meant to have more than a passing resemblance to our current political environment.

Is the man in the mask who wants to make Parliament go boom Osama bin Laden or Patrick Henry? Or just a Phantom of the Opera clone who likes to kick back to the cult sounds of Antony and the Johnsons? Your guess is as good as mine, and I've seen the film.

Collaboration tools in relation to the level of trust
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:52 pm EST, Mar 22, 2006

Martin calls it "community space", but some of the tools (e.g. IM) are primarily one-to-one tools... Wondering if/how we should take into account binary relations between people within the "community cloud" (also: degrees of trust in the community "in general" and between specific people may differ substantially).

Web 2.0: A Pattern Library
Topic: Miscellaneous 11:52 pm EST, Mar 22, 2006

We'll start by looking at some universal patterns, which are the broad trends powering the paradigm, and then get into specific web patterns for elements like the use of tagging and folksonomies, Ajax, and so on.

What Web 2.0 is not

As with any trendy idea that can be used to produce a bag of investment money, some quarters are promoting the artifacts of Web 2.0-ishness in place of the stronger underlying ideas. Do not be confused by this. Using rounded boxes and Ajax do not alone make something useful.
