AWeSOMe is one of those times!

Deliberately destroying civilian infrastructure is barbaric and evil. Stop it.

Web Services Activity at the W3C renewed with a little extra semantic goodness

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006 · Bijan Parsia

And we have our first Semantic Web Services working group, however oddly constructed it may be.

I also have posted my first message as chair of the Semantic Web Services Interest Group. It was a loving message full of kittens, cherubs, and drive-by flower pickings. An auspicious start to what shall be a most notable reign.

So the question is, with my selection, is the W3C trying to save SWSs or kill them? And which am I trying to do?

(You may want to consider my glorious second message before forming a judgment.)

Salon has published a more extensive set of Abu Ghraib torture photos and videos. I would like to think they were sufficent to arouse the moral sense of all of us.
