- Some may be running into last minute difficulties with the Last Days assignment (for those who have chosen to complete it) because the library is closed for the weekend. We really are at the final days of the semester, and so QU starts to go to sleep. I will consider other edits (non-citation-related) as well.
- Final's week assignment and other stuff here: Last Days
- Clay Shirky has a very nice talk on TV, Wikipedia, and "cognitive surplus." See the video here.

- Nova is open sourcing their interview footage from their show: Car of the Future. They expect that this will be their new production mode.

- Some of you were having difficulty reading my comments on your self-assessments. I've made some changes to Blackboard that should fix this. Remember that Blackboard still doesn't play well with Firefox (standards, and all), but if you still cannot see my comments in Internet Explorer or Safari, please email me and I'll try to extract them for you.
