I've decided that, after many years of blogging, I can no longer keep up the steam. It's been a fun few years, moving from Blogger to my own site and a few other things along with that.

The Big Thing that has been under development since the last post is finally ready. Point yer browser to http://tt.dankeenan.org/ and take a look. Those who know me know that I have tried several of these over the years, and they have failed after one or two releases. Well, there is a second in the pipeline already!

Those who are observant may have noticed that I have not mentioned what it is here. So clicky the linky!

"After one year of development we are ready to release Drupal 6.0 to the world. Thanks to the tireless work of the Drupal community, over 1,600 issues have been resolved during the Drupal 6.0 release cycle. These changes are evident in Drupal 6's major usability improvements, security and maintainability advancements, friendlier installer, and expanded development framework. Further, from bug fix to feature request, these issues follow-through on the Drupal project's continued commitment to deliver flexibility and power to themers and developers."

Wired Science ran a piece on "Dangerous Science" and how kids involvement in chemistry has changed through the years. It's a little long, but I suggest you watch the clip below, as it is extremely interesting to see.
