			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are <a title="I just thought I'd link to this Foucault thing to make me look smart" href="http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/fr/foucaul2.htm">limits to knowledge</a>. Currently, at work, I&#8217;m researching and learning Drupal and in particular <a title="OpenPublish might be the future of my career." href="http://www.opensourceopenminds.com/openpublish">OpenPublish</a>, a group of modules developed for Drupal. My mode for learning software is to install it, explore it, and bang on it. This can be frustrating at times, especially when the user interface and the help text is lacking. I find that more with Drupal than Wordpress. Maybe it is a familiarity issue.</p>
<p>Anyway, I quickly found myself feeling discouraged. My knowledge of <a title="Drupal is intense" href="http://www.drupal.org">Drupal</a> and some of the modules, such as Views and Panels, is meager. This limitation is making learning OpenPublish harder.</p>
<p>Additionally, OpenPublish&#8217;s semantic capabilities, including tagging and it&#8217;s integration with <a title="Open Calais" href="http://www.opencalais.com">OpenCalais</a> is both fascinating and bewildering. I used to think that I understood the concepts of <a title="Peter Morville is a genius" href="http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/ambient_findability_talking_with_peter_morville">Taxonomies, Folksonomies and Vocabularies</a>. After using OpenPublish, it is clear that I need to brush up and learn more.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m writing this post using <a title="tagaroo will transform you" href="http://tagaroo.opencalais.com/">Tagaroo</a> for the first time. It is a <a title="Wordpress is king" href="http://www.wordpress.org">WordPress</a> <a title="Go get a plugin!" href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/">plugin</a> that uses the same principles found in OpenCalais. As you type, it examines your post for important phrases, then suggests tags for the post. It also searches for relevant images. So far, the images aren&#8217;t quite right, but it seems pretty cool overall. Here&#8217;s an example of one of those images:</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 510px"><a title="So You Think You Can Dance?" href="http://flickr.com/photos/73169830@N00/2713610201"><img title="So you think you can dance?" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3269/2713610201_182c37565d.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="333" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">So you think you can dance? by William WM</p></div>
<p>It has a <a title="Lawrence Lessig is cool" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.0/">Creative Commons Non-Commercial Attribution license</a>, which means I should give &#8220;William WM&#8221; credit. It came from <a title="Flickr is so good." href="http://www.flickr.com">Flickr</a>. Very neat.</p>
<p>Welcome to the Web 2.0/3.0/Semantic-ification of my blog!</p>
