All Paper Chase, all the time!. JURIST's Paper Chase has outgrown the confines of JURIST's front page, and is about to move to a new webpage all its own. Paper Chase updates will be very intermittent over the next couple of days as we makes the transition, and our front page is adjusted accordingly. [JURIST's Paper Chase]

It was getting a bit cramped wasn't it? I'm looking forward to the new setup.

Something to ponder: reusable learning objects - RLO as a concept seemd to date back to the late nineties.  It is really a simple idea.  Construct online learning into reusable chunks.   Then use the RLO to create custom learning tools based on input from the student. 

See RLO on Google.

Jupitermedia to Launch a Weblog Trade Show in June in NYC:"Jupitermedia, the parent company of Internet.com and other network of IT sites, will launch a weblog trade show in June in New York City, according to Alan Meckler. The trade show will focus primarily on business uses of weblogs. "

Yikes!  Well this could really do a number on the blog nation.  Nothing like some guys in suits looking for ROI and figuring TCO on stuff to mung up the works.  On the plus side, maybe a enough suits won't get it and just ignore the whole thing.

News: Tablet PCs draw a rousing welcome - Top vendors Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba say sales of their tablet PCs--tiny portable computers fitted with pens, touch screens and handwriting-recognition technology--are exceeding predictions made before the devices' November launch. The machines are based on Microsoft's Windows XP Tablet PC Edition software.
Toshiba several times has increased production of its Portege
3500 tablet, after having trouble meeting initial demand, said Mark Simons, vice president of Toshiba's transactional business group. - ZDNet

Dan and Harold @Emory have seen the Toshiba tablet and rate it highly.  It may be added to the list of recommended PCs for incoming 1L in the Fall of 2003.  I would recommend keepoing an eye on the shipment date problems.  Nothing like a 1L who is still waiting fro the new PC to arrive a week into class.
