American Worker Info Thanks to the Minutemen, Schwarzenegger, and the pattern of militarized chaos that leads our national policy around by the leash, here is a new joint: American Worker Info, based on that 19th Century notion that workers can learn to sort their own interests intelligently. (Credits: joint borrowed from Spike Lee, chaos from Randi Rhodes.) UPDATE: after the Marcha Migrantes of '06, the motivating fear of this site subsided. [Drupal]

Pollockosmos The world's finest syrup comes from really slow sap, and that's why finally, this project is beginning to come down from the tree tops, slowly, slowly. But believe me, you ain't never tasted nothing like a Robert Pollock lecture, and we have hours upon hours of them digitized. This will affect the history of philosophy, I assure you. But it if doesn't, how can it not affect you? Please stay tuned. [ExpressionEngine]

Archive Blog The movable type blog was posted in May 2005 at the request of border vigilantes who wanted a method for posting their complaints (about my articles) directly and anonymously. Right wingers will want to keep their flamethrowers aimed at this site for abstracts of other articles from Peacefile and the Texas Civil Rights Review. UPDATE: after Camp Casey, I just got too busy to re-post everything, but the blog did last through the summer. [MovableType]

NonviolenceUSA Obsessive browsing, clipping, and editing from web sources. Here you will find the original NVUSA Historical Index to Nonviolence, early collections of materials on "hotspots", and the undaunted 9/11 collection. If the prodigy pages aren't responding, try Tripod [HomeSite]

Peacefile Clipping slows down considerably after the advent of the Google Search Engine and the proliferation of dissent. Takings are more selective the better to draw bright lines around key concepts. [php-Nuke]

Peacefile Blog Writing overtakes clipping in an attempt to "add value." Here are the peacefile originals. [WordPress]

Infinite Loom Classrooms are more and more coming equipped with default computer projectors connected to the web. No need to check anything out or hook anything up. Just push a few buttons and your screen is on. So I started archiving links to lecture topics using Media Wiki. "Looks like a lot of work," said some students. Well, yes, I guess it does. [MediaWiki]

In my offline work developing syllabi, I am now using the oxygen xml editor to store syllabus templates in docbook format that get transformed into docbook-style pdf. More recently, I have figured out how to make the "schedule" part of the syllabus by typing it up in excel (or the open office equivalent) and importing it into a docbook table. And slowly but surely I am getting used to the way you can fiddle with some of the background xsl settings to, for example, reduce the font size of the section headers. Downside, since I only do this once every few months, it takes half a night to remember how to use all my labor-saving short cuts! [Oxygen / Open Office]

Texas Civil Rights Review This project begins in 1997 as an html collection of articles and links about Civil Rights in higher education, which is to say the lack of Civil Rights at my alma mater Texas A&M University. In 2003, the project was updated to a database driven php-nuke website (using the nifty Fantastico installer). The motivation for the upgrade? Another Civil Rights scandal at Texas A&M University. UPDATE: as of summer '07, this is my most active project. Some things you drop because you want to pick up something else. Night geeks will want to know that I don't use Fantastico for this php-nuke project anymore, because there is only one shell that keeps the hackers out, and that one belongs to ravenscripts. The php-nuke world owes much to Mr. Raven. Me too. [RavenScript php-Nuke]

Scholarship My first web project was a syllabus for Medieval Philosophy in 1995. For many years, I kept class materials updated at ye old prodigy pages. However, after I went to "part time" teaching I stopped updating my syllabus archive. It was just too embarrassing to display how many courses a "part-time" teacher teaches. A real philosopher should spend more time at the gym. Today, those materials go to Blackboard [Homesite]
