Rilke CMS 0.95 beta has been released
The eighth release of Rilke CMS, version 0.95 beta has been made
available at SourceForge. Rilke CMS provides easy content management
for non-geeks. It allows you to easily publish a weblog, update a
public website, or collaborate on a private Intranet site.
Rilke CMS is different from other open source content management
systems in that it is easy to learn and use, and does not have a
blocky look-and-feel.
It relies on five built-in CSS layouts/themes which can be changed with a single click.
Rilke CMS is currently available in English and German.
A live demo of Rilke CMS 0.95 beta is available at:

My Glamorous Life: Lucy Ricardo, C’est Moi TRYING A NEW breakfast place. I tell the cashier, “Extra crispy bacon.” “Extra bacon,” she says. “No, not extra bacon. Extra crispy bacon,” I say.

John Battelle: What Commons Do We Wish For John Battelle has a very thoughtful and thought provoking article on the future of the Web that outlines a plan for ensuring that the Internet continues to be a commons and that it not devolve into a collection of walled gardens.
At Mozilla, we're working to build that "open" and "independent" Web platform and commons. We have a lot more to do to make the open Web the first choice for users and application developers -- especially for the mobile environment, but I have no doubt that we can do it and I believe we can do it *this year*.

Mozilla will be publishing a series of 2012 strategy and roadmap documents in the next few days that will describe how we get from where we are now to an experience for users and developers that can rival and in many cases beat, the walled gardens and proprietary mobile platforms. Stay tuned.
Bing and WebM I know this isn't news, but it makes me happy every time I see it (Yes, I'm a web geek.) Those of you who use Bing or have looked at it more than once know that they put beautiful background images on their search page. Those images have little highlighted nodes with information and trivia about the image. But every once in a while Bing puts a video background in, like they did a few days ago with this one:
And what I love about that is that they serve WebM video to Firefox. A few years ago, this would have been Flash and today it's an open format that I can easily hotlink right here in my blog :D (You can click the video to view it full-sized.)
