  OUseful.Info, the blog... — Authority: 459
  So I know, I know, I b****y well know how important the whole RDF thing is for Linked Data, and I know we’re not there yet with respect to actual people using data pulled from data.gov.* sources, and I’m starting to be persuaded that maybe data.gov.uk is only there to feed the growth of semantic web developer ...

  OUseful.Info, the blog... — Authority: 459
  This is a stub post as much as anything to help me keep tabs on a technique I’ve not had any time to properly play with, let alone document: consuming Linked Data in a Google spreadsheet.

  nashworld — Authority: 100
  Boys only? According to the NCES , since 2004, girls have -in general- been shown to outdo boys in nearly every measure of academic success.  Girls outpace boys on nearly every one of our measures of “winning” when it comes to school.  And yet, when push comes to shove on earning degrees in engineering or ...

• TheShelfHimself by Jörg Schatzmann

  
  Lost In A Supermarket — Authority: 484
  Love the bold lines of this flatpack shelf. It’s a great minimalist / modern look that won’t look out of place next to more contemporary furniture as well as with classic modernist furniture by someone like Eames, etc. The word timeless comes to mind. Jörg Schatzmann is all about DIY / tinkering, low / no ...
