Teen riders are a risk for novice motorists

A teenage driver's risk of dying in an accident increases dramatically when there are other teens in the car and plummets when there's an adult looking on, according to a study by AAA's safety foundation.

Paradise Valley financial picture brighter in 2012-13

Paradise Valley stands to be in a better financial position for the coming fiscal year compared with the current one.

Small-town values help Paddy O' maintain edge

When Tony Schindler was in high school in Minnesota, he told his father, who owned a small home-furniture store, that he wanted to take over the family business.

Posting Frequency
Notice I've been posting more lately? I have. At the day job, I've switched to an online note format (plain text + jEdit is an amazing combination).

It's probably not a coincidence that getting into the habit of posting your thoughts online carries over to the off hours. -m
NeoOffice/J
NeoOffice/J 0.8.2 is highly recommended if you're on OS X. It has tons of scary this-is-beta-and-might-not-even-work warnings, but it does. It seems snappier, looks somehow better (is it the font smoothing?), the command/ctrl keys work like you'd expect (not reversed, as with the X11 version), and it works better for drag-n-drop opening files. -m
Why Pick XForms?
This is essentially a snapshot of today's talk at the Gilbane conference.

So why should you pick XForms vs. some non-XForms system?

1) The uninstaller argument
If you had two functionally similar pieces of software, one with a great uninstaller, and one with a tedious/manual uninstall, which would you install first on your own system? I thought so. Ironically, having a great uninstaller gives users peace of mind, making them *less* likely to actually uninstall the program. Open standards, with the associated non-lock-in, have the same effect.

2) Cost of change
Another way to look at the lock-in situation: even a mid-sized organization can have 1000 forms around. If each has a design/production/review cycle of 8hrs, that's an investment of 4 Man-years. Does it make more sense to invest that much in a single-source solution, or something that could be reused/shopped around? If you have a dozen forms, go ahead and try anything. For serious amounts of, use standards.

3) Metadata needs standards too
Forms are metadata. It doesn't seem obvious at first, but it's true. Forms provide a context and interpretation for a core piece of data. Metadata needs to be standardized as much as regular data, maybe more.

4) Choosing your point on the continuum
It's not like you can draw a black and white diagram of "standards-based" and "non-standards-based" software. It's all shades of gray. The flipside of this is that useful standards support isn't a checklist feature. Lots of forms systems have long lists of individual standards supported, but still use a proprietary layer that effectively negates many of the usual benefits of open standards. You have to pick the point on the continuum at which you are comfortable. -m
Errata the Night Away
All the formerly scattered errata for _XForms Essentials_ are now collected at the official publisher's page. If you spot more report away! -m
Off to L.A.
I'm on the way to the Gilbane Conference on Content Management. I'm part of the double-length session _ Electronic Forms & Content Management_, moderated by Bill Trippe and additionally featuring speakers from Microsoft and Adobe.

This will be my first speaking assignment for my new employer, Verity. In preparation, I have updated the UBL+XForms example to work much better with formsPlayer. Check it out. -m

On the other hand, if your day job deadlines leave you completely exhausted at the end of the day, electronic notes or not, you'll tend to blog less (or at least blog in the morning, when you're still semi-conscious). -m
