Dr. Anthony Smithyman – Antibiotic Resistance : ..Dr. Moira Gunn speaks with Dr. Anthony Smithyman, about antibiotics – once thought to be the great cure-all. Smithyman talks about the state of antibiotic resistance..

I am very surprised that there is no mention of Phages at Cellabs Pty Ltd (am i missing something?)

The forgotten cure?

Peter Morville - Ambient Findability

It took some time to understand the phrase “What We Find Changes Who We Become” on the front cover of Peter Morville’s Ambient Findability

Young boys are interested in O’Reilly books due to the animals on the covers.. But are quite disappointed in finding no others inside and almost tear some pages to record their disappointment!

ATTN: Tim O’Reilly – Please publish some more pictures inside too (The pictures in the “Related Titles from O’Reilly” are not enough)

Update: With every new chapter, there could be an animal picture from another book (including summary of that book – cross selling)

TechCrunch: Dear Parents: Save Some Money, Use Kindersay.

I have not read comments at TechCrunch in a long time and I did this time and there are 40 right now

I also subscribed to the feed for this post as there are already many other good recommendations like http://www.poissonrouge.com/

2do: When I click on the feed icon next to the URL on firefox, am not given a option to subscribe to the feed’s comments and only the main site’s feed

idea: A feature within the comments that will help with any round up post.

Let users sort/rate comments using Scriptaculous Lists with PHP ( http://www.gregphoto.net/sortable/ )

See an example @ Namaste Netizen – Colophon

I would sort the other useful sites / comments to the top and our collective sorted comment list could be the ( starting point for your ) round up post :-)

Summary / Go To
1. Kindersay.com
2. poissonrouge.com
3. starfall.com
4. ..

btw: best wishes to ben and mena trott on the new arrival :-)

This Release of Microsoft HealthVault is intended for use only within the United States

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Microsoft HealthVault : This release of Microsoft HealthVault is intended for use only within the United States(US). We are working to make HealthVault available globally and encourage you to try again at a later date.

That is ok

BUT

1) why did I have to select a “stronger” password for the LiveID before getting this message !

2) why does Microsoft not care to automatically add my name/email to a mailing list and inform when the service is available for the specific country.. Why should I be looking at this at a later date if there is no mention about what I should expect at a later date..
