  • MixedInk
    And this is the mother of all mixedink projects… this is the actual forum for contributing o the open government initiative. Very very cool. I would not have predicted this given only the service's features – the applications of it are amazing.

  • MixedInk
    This mixed ink project is facilitated by the AP (Associated Press) and focuses on the question "Should the Senate confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor?" Very cool. And a cool model for how it might be used with students.

  • MixedInk – Free Collaborative Writing Tool
    This service turned out to be much cooler than I expected when I got their "check out our service" email back in May. Check out what they're doing for the Sotomayer hearings right now… and see my next two links about their open government initiative.

  • Online Backup, Data Backup & Remote Backup Solutions from Mozy.com – Welcome
    I'm trying this for my off-site backup. There's unlimited storage for $4.95 a month. Good deal. So far setup was easy and the initial backup is working well… but since I'm trying to backup 110 GB, it's only 3% finished after 15 hours! Will this really take 20 days?
