What's The Matter With Kansas?

What's The Matter With Kansas? 04/12/2005 01:44 PM
An open letter to the Citizens of Atwood. This past week, the residents of the small town of Atwood, Kansas voted 984 to 113 to deny gay couples any rights for their relationships (including hospital visitation). Now, the man who set up the town's newspaper website has not only left Atwood, but taken down the website and posted a (mostly) measured response to the town in place of it. Will putting a human face on those being discriminated against ever change the minds of some people, or is one passage in the bible enough for some people to keep justifying their bigoted ways?

Kansas City Public Library RSS Feeds

"I just got an IM from David King at from the Kansas City Public Library, who linked me to the RSS Feeds for the numerous subject guides that they have on their web site. Not only do they have the feeds, but they have an explanation on RSS, which is key. Congrats to KCPL, David King, and his staff for being on the forefront of content delivery via RSS." [Library Stuff]

I've been waiting with great glee for this! At the Computers in Libraries conference in March, David King did a great presentation about KCPL's new web site. [Side note: I hope he's doing a write-up somewhere about it so that everyone understands just how cool it really is!]

One of the things that impressed me the most was their decision to group content by subject matter, rather than by format. One example David used was Harry Potter; rather than pointing to database articles on the topic in the "databases" section, listing the book titles in a separate section, linking to web sites in another section, displaying related events in still another section, etc., KCPL made a decision to group all of the HP stuff on a single page. That way, anyone looking for Harry Potter info could find everything in one place. I really like this approach, and it's one we've been trying to implement here at SLS. It's nice to have a model to show others what I mean.

Anyway, during the presentation, David noted that he was going to display subject information from external sites using RSS, which led to the natural question of whether KCPL would be offering its own feeds. I could tell by David's reaction to the question that the answer was "definitely," so I've been patiently waiting to see this in action.

Since I grew up in the Kansas City area, I'm especially thrilled to see KCPL leading the way with this, and you can bet I'm going to show off these links in my RSS class. I hope his administration is suitably impressed, even though they probably don't understand the whole thing (who does?). Congratulations to David and his staff!

Sprint PCS to pay for, roll out airport Wi-Fi in Kansas City: As with many other airport situations, the company with the largest deal wins the contract, even though I believe that's not in the airport's best interest as a general policy. Sprint PCS will pay for the equipment, but the airport will eventually own it. The cost per day: $9.95. Sprint PCS hasn't announced unlimited monthly usage plans yet; they have said they will resell access to their network to others. The expense to build out the airport's Wi-Fi wasn't released....

Hays High School in Hays, Kansas issued about 1,000 iBooks to students who showed up for enrollment this week. The school is offering the iBooks to students before the school year starts so they can familiarize themselves with the laptop computer's operation. What's more, the school is offering training classes to help new users get a leg up as well. In addition to their classroom curriculum, students will be able to use the iBooks to access classroom agendas online and get feedback after taking tests.

The Beer Pool

The Beer Pool 06/06/2005 12:08 AM

More news from the Tirols—the Beer Pool! In a story entitled "Das erste Bier-Schwimmbad der Welt," which we assume translates to "Please Don't Pee In Our Beer Pool," it appears that the city of Tarrenz now has a pool filled with sweet, sweet liquid bread. But don't try drinking from the beer pool directly—according to this Babelfished translation, you don't swim in a cool, crisp lager but in filtered, yeasty wort. Yum! (Thanks, Dennis)

Everyone [We're assuming this means every tank - Ed] is filled with approximately 20,000 litres barley juice. However the beer does not flow by any means freshtapped from the cock. The original fermenting tanks made of high-grade steel are filled with the so-called Biergelaeger, the remainder yeast, which sets off when brewing in the beer tank.

Lone drivers who want to use car pool lanes can stop at informal gathering spots to pick up passengers who need rides.
