Flash + AJAX = Fjax
This looks pretty cool…Developers Jay and Steve McDonald have come up with a solution to this problem, and it’s called Fjax. Fjax works a whole lot like Ajax — it uses an XML file to pass data to a browser — except that it uses a tiny bit of Flash, instead of the browser, to parse the XML. All of that browser-specific code is eliminated, leaving the application more lightweight and putting less of a strain on the browser.

Law Schools Getting Blogging Bug?

University of Wisconsin Law School – News
This is interesting because U of Wisc considers a guest blogging gig as press release worthy. The tone of the release implies that this is serious scholarship type stuff going on and that is a significant change in attitude.
CALI really needs to do more to encourage these sorts of releases when we add faculty authors and podcasters to our programmers. I think the success of upcoming eLangdell projects will hinge on this sort ofbuy-in from schools.
