SlickMap CSS
SlickMap CSS is a simple stylesheet for displaying finished sitemaps directly from HTML unordered list navigation. It’s suitable for most web sites – accommodating up to three levels of page navigation and additional utility links – and can easily be customized to meet your own individual needs, branding, or style preferences.
The general idea of SlickMap CSS is to streamline the web design process by automating the illustration of sitemaps while at the same time allowing for the predevelopment of functional HTML navigation.

各种动物的抱怨
乳牛说：这么多人喝我们的乳汁，却沒有人叫我们一声"妈"。
乌贼说：滿肚子墨水，居然被叫成了贼。
袋鼠说：唉，沒有钱，口袋再大也還是鼠类.
老鼠说：哎，成天为了点吃喝，又怕杀鼠药又担心老鼠夹，怎能不老？
苍蝇说：我和蜜蜂本是一家的，只是口味不同而已，待遇却天壤之別。
蜈蚣说：这么多双脚，一輩子都买不起鞋穿。
鱼说： 网咖、网站再好玩，可惜打死我也不敢去上网。
恐龙说：只是因为死得太早了，让你们伤脑筋了，又研究又挖掘，还是找不出死因。
刺蝟说：真想感觉一下与爱人拥抱的滋味。

jQuery
jQuery is a lightweight JavaScript library that emphasizes interaction between JavaScript and HTML. It was released January 2006 at BarCamp NYC by John Resig.
Dual licensed under the MIT License and the GNU General Public License, jQuery is free, open source software.
Both Microsoft and Nokia have announced plans to bundle jQuery[1] on their platforms, Microsoft adopting it initially within Visual Studio[2] and use within Microsoft's ASP.NET AJAX framework and ASP.NET MVC Framework whilst Nokia will integrate it into their Web Run-Time platform.
Philosophy
Just like CSS separates "display" characteristics from the HTML structure, jQuery separates the "behavior" characteristics from the HTML structure. For example, instead of directly specifying the on-click event handler in the specification of a button element, a jQuery driven page would first identify the button element, and then modify its on-click event handler. This separation of behavior from structure is also referred to as the principle of Unobtrusive JavaScript.
Features
- Interactions
Add rich behaviors like drag and drop, resizing, selection and sorting to any element.
[Draggable, Droppable, Resizable, Selectable, Sortable] - Widgets
Drop full-featured UI controls — each has a range of options and is fully themeable.
[Arrordion, Datepicker, Dialog, Progressbar, Slider, Tabs] - Effects
Create animated transitions and easing with this set of pre-built effects.
{Effect Method}
[effect, show, hide, toggle, color, animation, add class, remove class, toggle class, switch class]
{Effect Type}
[blind, bounce, clip, drop, explode, fold, highlight, puff, scale, shake, size, slide, pulsate, transfer]

Ruby on Rails
Ruby on Rails, often shortened to Rails or RoR, is an open source web application framework for the Ruby programming language. It is intended to be used with an Agile development methodology which is used by web developers for rapid development.
Philosophy
Ruby on Rails is intended to emphasize Convention over Configuration (CoC), and the rapid development principle of Don't repeat yourself (DRY).
"Convention over Configuration" means a developer only needs to specify unconventional aspects of the application. For example, if there is a class Sale in the model, the corresponding table in the database is called sales by default. It is only if one deviates from this convention, such as calling the table "products sold", that the developer needs to write code regarding these names. Generally, this leads to less code and less repetition.
"Don't repeat yourself" means that information is located in a single, unambiguous place. For example, using the ActiveRecord module of Rails, the developer does not need to specify database column names in class definitions. Instead, Ruby on Rails can retrieve this information from the database.

JSON
JSON (pronounced /ˈdʒeɪsɒn/, i.e., "Jason"), short for JavaScript Object Notation, is a lightweight computer data interchange format. It is a text-based, human-readable format for representing simple data structures and associative arrays (called objects).
The JSON format is specified in RFC 4627 by Douglas Crockford. The official Internet media type for JSON is application/json. The JSON file extension is .json.
The JSON format is often used for transmitting structured data over a network connection in a process called serialization. Its main application is in Ajax web application programming, where it serves as an alternative to the use of the XML format.

Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a group creativity technique designed to generate a large number of ideas for the solution of a problem. The method was first popularized in the late 1930s by Alex Faickney Osborn in a book called Applied Imagination. Osborn proposed that groups could double their creative output with brainstorming.[1]
Although brainstorming has become a popular group technique, researchers have not found evidence of its effectiveness for enhancing either quantity or quality of ideas generated. Because of such problems as distraction, social loafing, evaluation apprehension, and production blocking, brainstorming groups are little more effective than other types of groups, and they are actually less effective than individuals working independently.[2][3][4] In the Encyclopedia of Creativity, Tudor Rickards, in his entry on brainstorming, summarizes its controversies and indicates the dangers of conflating productivity in group work with quantity of ideas.[5]
Although traditional brainstorming does not increase the productivity of groups, it may still provide benefits, such as boosting morale, enhancing work enjoyment, and improving team work. Thus, numerous attempts have been made to improve brainstorming or use more effective variations of the basic technique.Read more...
FreeMind
FreeMind is a free mind mapping application written in Java. FreeMind is licensed under the GNU General Public License. It provides extensive export capabilities. It runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux and MacOS X via the Java Runtime Environment.[1] [2][unreliable source?] [3][unreliable source?]
As with other mind mapping software packages, FreeMind allows the user to edit a hierarchical set of ideas around a central concept. The non-linear approach assists in brainstorming new outlines and projects as ideas are added around the mind map.[1] As a Java application, FreeMind is portable across multiple platforms and retains its same user interface, causing some amount of variation from the common interface in each platform. Mac users may notice the most difference from their traditional user interface. Though a MacWorld reviewer says the software's features should still appeal to the segment of users who accept function over form.[4]
FreeMind was a nominee for Best Project in SourceForge.net's Community Choice Awards for 2008, which featured Open Source software projects.

The SCORM specifies a framework for content that meets the following requirements for elearning
content:
- Durability – Content should last long enough to amortize its cost, and be usable as long as
it is relevant. - Portability – It should be possible to move the content easily from one delivery environment to another. The same content should work without modification in different delivery environments, as long as the delivery environment includes a web browser.
- Reusability – It should be possible to build the content in small, reusable modules that
can be recombined in different ways. Different communities of practice should be able to share reusable content. - Interoperability – The same content should work the same way when it is deployed in
different environments. - Accessibility – It must be possible to find the content in a repository. This requires that some standard cataloguing data be associated with the content.

Tag cloud
Definition:
A tag cloud is a set of related tags with corresponding weights. Typical tag clouds have between 30 and 150 tags. The weights are represented using font sizes or other visual clues. Meanwhile, histograms or pie charts are most commonly used to represent approximately a dozen different weights. Hence, tag clouds can represent many more weights, though less accurately so. Also, frequently, tag clouds are interactive: tags are hyperlinks typically allowing the user to drill down on the data.

Using OpenID for any web sites which support OpenID
What is OpenID?
OpenID is an open, decentralized standard for user authentication and access control, allowing users to log onto many services with the same digital identity. It is a Single sign-on (SSO) method of access control. As such, it replaces the common login process that uses a login-name and a password, by allowing a user to log in once and gain access to the resources of multiple software systems.
Why OpenID?
Are you tired of creating a new account on every website you use? Do you avoid new websites because they come with yet another username and password?
OpenID is an open technology standard that solves all of these problems. The OpenID technology will allow you to use your Yahoo! account or Any OpenID providers to sign in to hundreds of websites!
Once you enable your Yahoo! account for OpenID access, you can simply tell any OpenID enabled website that you are a Yahoo! user. You will be sent to Yahoo! to verify your Yahoo! ID and password and then signed in to the website. Its that easy!

Eagle Rebirth
- The Legend of the Eagle may be a myth, but it is one that gives insight.
- Many times in our own lives, we also have to face hard decisions that lead us to the need of a rebirth process.
- To embrace challenges and changes is never an easy assignment.
- Sometimes we have to learn how to detach ourselves from traditions, concepts, addictions and old customs.
- Even old memories can hold us from flying higher in our lives.
- The tales regarding Eagles and Humans are very similar; both have tough choices to make during their lifetimes.
- Those decisions will determine the height and the magnitude of their flight and existence.
- The transition from one state to another is rarely effortless.
- Sometimes, it is very painful.
- But without this change, we would not grow and become who we are meant to be.
- Freedom is a conquered state of mind.
