TodaysMeet
TodaysMeet
Using Twitter at social media conferences has become a great way to do just that. But Twitter isn't appropriate for every situation. Your audience isn't on Twitter. You don't want the discussion to be public. You need to see only relevent updates. That's where TodaysMeet comes in. TodaysMeet gives you an isolated room where you can see only what you need to see, and your audience doesn't need to learn any new tools like hash tags to keep everything together.

ArchivePress
ArchivePress
ArchivePress is a blog-archiving project being undertaken by the University of London Computer Centre and the British Library Digital Preservation department, funded by the JISC Information Environment Programme under its Rapid Innovation Grants Call (03/09). The project will explore practical issues around the archiving of weblog content, focusing on blogs as records of institutional activity and corporate memory. As an alternative to the web crawling/harvesting approach of the Internet Archive and the UK Web Archive, ArchivePress will test the viability of using RSS feeds and blog APIs to harvest blog content (including comments, embedded content and metadata). The archived content will be stored and managed using instances of Wordpress, thereby maintaining the blogs’ native data structures, formats and relationships.

Teachingcomics.org
Teachingcomics.org
Teachingcomics.org is the homepage of NACAE (pronounced "nay-say"), the National Association of Comics Art Educators.  This site's objective is to be a resource where the growing number of educators in comic art/sequential art can get and share ideas. It is also hoped that educators who work in other disciplines can use comics as a way of furthering their own objectives. The "Teaching Resources" menu provides links to a wealth of teaching materials as well as a directory of comics educators. You will find information about this site and its contributors under the "Teachingcomics.org" menu. Please see our section there on copyright/use information for the materials on this site.

the Movie title stills collection
the Movie title stills collection
I've seen a lot of movies over the years, and to prove I've sat through at least the first ten minutes of them I started making screenshots of the titles. Then my computer crashed and I almost lost them all. To save them for future generations I created this little website.

Earth Hour 2010 - The Big Picture - Boston.com
Earth Hour 2010 - The Big Picture - Boston.com
Beginning in Sydney, Australia three years ago, Earth Hour has grown into a global observance. States, large organizations and individual people observed Earth Hour 2010 on Saturday March 27th, as homes, office towers and landmarks turned off their lights for an hour starting at 8.30 pm local time to raise awareness about climate change and the threat from rising greenhouse gas emissions. Collected here are a series of before-and-after photographs from this year - which (starting with the second one below) will fade between "on" and "off" when clicked

flame | peter blaskovic | escape motions
Flame is a painting program, it belongs to my 'I am Artist' experimental project. I think with tools which inspires you, everyone can be an artist. You can try it here, change different brush settings and paint your own flame paintings. When you change background from black to white, palette changes from additive to substactive and the feeling of the painting is very different. It's not easy to explain all brush parameters, so I leave this for your experimentation. (requires Java)
