Katherine McAlpine spends her days putting together the online newsletter for the ATLAS project at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. But at night, she dawns her white labcoat and geek bling, and becomes AlpineKat, rapping about the world of high energy particle physics. O'Reilly News spent some time talking to this multi-talented woman about what's going on at CERN, what we can expect from the LHC, why the Higgs Boson is important, and guerrilla filmmaking in the bowels of CERN.
A long and contentious struggle came to an end this week as ECMA Technical Committee 39, responsible for the development and maintenance of ECMAScript (known universally everywhere else as JavaScript), voted to establish ECMAScript 3.1 as the next "trunk" branch for the venerable web browser language, rather than the more ambitious (and contentious ECMAScript 4.0). While the breaking of the deadlock is a momentous achievement, not everyone is happy with it.
Lawrence Lessig discusses Change-Congress.org, a online tool for users to tag congressional candidates as supporting or opposing reforms such as public financing, earmark reform, and congressional transparency. Lessig also responds to a few questions about InternetForEveryone.org, a coalition of public interest and industry groups working for open, universal, and affordable access to broadband.

"If the do-it-yourself trend is a revolution, then Dale Dougherty and Tim O'Reilly are its Tom Paines," writes reporter Elizabeth Corcoran in a recent Forbes.com story, Making Future Headlines.
Thomas Paine, if you recall, was America's cerebral, revolutionary activist and the author of a mightily influential 1776 pamphlet, "Common Sense," supporting the American colonies independence from Great Britain.
Like Paine, Tim, founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media, and Dale, editor and publisher of Make, are "awfully good at spotting trends," writes Corcoran. So good, in fact, that Forbes also included the pair in their photo feature on techno-wizards--"In Pictures: Eight People Inventing The Future."

There was one thing missing from XForms 1.0 that would have made all the difference when trying to access RESTful Web Services - the ability to control HTTP headers when making instance data requests and submissions. What compounded the problem was that many of the implementations either inappropriately (in my opinion) set the HTTP Accept header to
*/* or just adopted the string used by the host browser. This made it nigh-on impossible to request, in a RESTful fashion, an XML representation of the resource you wish to edit...

But the bottom line for foreign elements as wrappers in ODF and OOXML is that ODF allows them to be stripped out by the application while OOXML doesn't allow that; neither of course require that any particular application understands them. The bottom line for OpenOffice and Office seems to be that OpenOffice strips them (dangerously, but perhaps allowed because of bad drafting of that part of the ODF standard) while Office 2007 does allow them. In both cases users would be helped by clearer text (better conformance text for the OASIS/ISO text, better references for the Ecma/ISO text.)

A common theme at this year's Balisage Conference has been integrating Semantic Web technologies with more traditional web interfaces. So far, it hasn't been the more common microformats approach, but rather approaches that let users add assertions to documents in...
In his Extreme "first person" talk yesterday, Patrick Durusau asked some of the right questions about the recent explosive battles over standardizing XML generated by Microsoft Office and OpenOffice.org. I can't share his conviction, though, that getting through this firefight...
