		<title>OGC (re)discovers URLs, but let&#8217;s tighten up the terminology a bit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had seen this tidbit that Sean Gillies writes about in the recent OGC newsletter. My thoughts were along the lines of Sean&#8217;s. I never understood the big deal behind URNs. EDIT: Forget the semi-rant, see the comments, and then go read about URI&#8230; But in re-reading Sean&#8217;s post and the OGC news coming out [...]]]></description>

		<title>NASA Web Services session roundup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week in Santa Barbara, during the ESIP Federation summer meeting, the NASA SPG hosted a Web Services technical session.

The survey included the home zip code of the subjects, and we knew, of course, the zip code of the survey [...]]]></description>

		<title>Air, not yet.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I didn&#8217;t buy yesterday was a MacBook Air. I went to the Chestnut Hill Mall Apple store to see what it looked like but they didn&#8217;t have any to show. The store won&#8217;t have any to look at for two more weeks. Instead I ordered a MacBook from the Apple Education for MIT [...]]]></description>

		<title>Think Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I&#8217;m going to blame my recent lack of postings on my blog to the fact that, like Hobu, I was finding that a Plone-based blog was not so easy to deal with.
