Feeling Lucky? Mozilla Firebird is for you!

I love it when things work exactly as I expect them too. Unfortunately usually my expectations for computer software are very differfent than the developers'. I am pleasantly surprised that Mozilla Firebird 0.6 address bar automatic search goes directly to the first result in Google. In Mozilla it takes you to the Google results page. I peeked at the javascript that controls this behavior, but I couldn't figure it out. Now I don't have to.

Recognizing Prior Learning?

It looks like there is a new concept called Prior Learning and Assessment to take into account the learning that occurs by actually doing something. Empire State College has been doing this for years. I don't know if they have ever definied it as a formal process, but they have been giving credit for twhat they call experential learning since 1971. Empire State College is part of the State University of New York. One of these days I do plan on getting one or more degrees from there.
