POPSNew Dr Who named I hope he is a good actor, cos from seeing him in that clip I am not convinced he will make a good Dr Who.

POPSA piece on the goodness of wikipedia (I have no idea what is going on with this clip - it wasn't clipped from Google.com and I didn't clip a tweetDeck thing either...) About the wikipedia piece... Wikipedia is a useful starting point sometimes. It is not entirely inaccurate, and often has some good references to follow up on. But the piece made me laugh a little - Google returns wikipedia as the 9th result for 'radio' for me, so I guess the piece is as accurate as I tend to find wikipedia. And whilst it is true anyone can correct errors in wikipedia, unfortunately the wikithoughtpolice go back and make it wrong again just as quickly.

POPSMicrosoft... oh microsoft Guys you know that word 'micro' in your name? Take it into consideration when making web pages. The irony of the topic of the page, coupled with a 634KB banner (which looks silly, by the way) is entertaining though...

POPSMerlot Not just a nice drop of wine, as it turns out...

POPSSiemens & Downes MOOC The connectivism and connected knowledge course looks set to be both amazingly useful and extremely time consuming over the next few months.

POPSContext sensitive answers... I only ran across this today - the web page version is cool too. I like the way it finds the context of the word you have clicked on. Clicking on 'Justified true belief' (in quotes) pops up material on epistemiology. Cool!

POPSeurovision tweets I am not a Eurovision fan. But it is good to see a reporter spotting the potential power of tools like Twitter. And noticing that people have different roles in the ad hoc community which formed. I almost wish I had been following the twittering live, now.

POPSVirtual Worlds research by BBC Not that I was in any doubt - but there may be a question of what age they may stop being useful... maybe. I am glad the Beeb did some work on the roles which were adopted too.

POPSARGOSI Yup, check, all looking good to me. This is the approach I was planning on taking with some learning materials about DI, so I was pleased to run across some of Dr Whitton's team at conference (complete with marvellous fake beards - good work ladies!)

POPSWhy IP decisions can ruin your life Social production would appear to be the way forward, and yet various things try to threaten it. Think of software patents... I love the comment about money not always being the best motivator.

POPSOptimism on the climate crisis? Reasons to be optimistic - bascially you have the chance to be a hero. You will be remembered for being the generation which saved the world from climate crisis - basically because if we don't save it, there won't be anyone around to remember us...

POPSFree will or free won't? A well written (apart from some typos towards the end), balanced and thoughtful piece on Mind/brain and free will/decision making, with a handful of Buddhism thrown in for good measure (which there should be, given the nature of the blog). The only bit which I balked at, but which has a grain of truth, was the comment that the scientists found a particular result because it was the one they wanted to find. Certainly often true, but in this case I am not sure that it is an entirely fair criticism.

POPSInstant Syndicating Worth a look at some point. The guy behind it added me as a friend on Facebook, which piqued my interest mildly, but a raging headache means I am not going to follow it up right now!

POPSCollaboration environment with a hint of rice wine? OK, bad spelling pun. This looks nice, but I haven't had a chance to download and install it to try it properly - if anyone has, please let me know! This and Bodlington are going to be working together, it seems, at least to some extent.

POPSJISC eLearning More a handy aide memoire for me than a share, I suppose, but someone else might find it useful

POPSEduserv Foundation Symposium This looks to be an interesting day, and it is nice to see that they have chosen an event tag and are disseminating it nice and early.

POPStopic map and rdf viewer time limited trial versions, but with the commitment on the web site that you can always download a newer version. So, just an irritating time limit then, not a real one. Hey ho, I think I will have a look at it anyway

POPSOne that got away Pity I didn't see this one before - it has a theme on collaborative learning, and various other interesting areas. Maybe next year.

POPSLearn to learn OK, I really like the look of this (not so much the visual style, but the course material etc) - v.useful for adult learners and community based learning, I think

POPSLearning 2.0 I think I would rate this as a "must read" (the eBook, that is. The blog is also good)

POPSSocial search More MeAggregator like goodness, this time suggested by Google. Identifying your social network, and sharing search/exploration results with them, should open up results to people based on their own implicit trust networks. MeAggregator plans to make that trust network more explicit, and learn from user interaction as well as allowing the users to define it.

POPSOne rule for you... OK, cards on the table, I think this is patently ridiculous. However, if people like the Archbishop think we should have separate laws for separate groups, can I show my stark hypocrisy and demand a law that says that everyone called Pat must be tithed 10% of the state's total tax revenue? I think that is only fair...

POPSBringing it all together...Digsby This looks like it does a chunk of what we are doing with the MeAggregator(TM) project - but it doesn't include looking at web pages and files as resources, and I don't think it has groups in there either. Still, it will be nice to see when it comes out.

POPSKnowledge is a verb? I describe meaning as a verb in my work, but I am not so sure about knowledge being one. I will have to read this, I think.
