I’m experimenting a bit with Movable Type 4.1 and the Action Streams plugin.
Check out the work in progress at johneckman.com. Read on if you’re interested in creating your own action streams.
Although it has been a while since I’ve worked in Movable Type, it was a relatively painless install (assuming you’ve got the basic LAMP stuff in place).

It’s been a busy week in the Boston area for me, with lots of “meat space” (not my favorite description, as a vegan) or “real world” (not my favorite description as a net citizen) meetings to go with various online groups.

Oh my, does this bring back memories. Just the sound effects from this game take me back.
I may need to schedule some time off for when it comes out.
Joe Williams of Delta Tao software (Spaceward Ho! anyone?) sent an email to the DeltaTao News mailing list this morning pointing to the trailer. They’ve given the rights to the original back to Mark Pierce, who designed the first one – his company Super Happy Fun Fun will release this new version.
In 1909, Alice Ramsey drove a Maxwell DA across the US, from 1930 Broadway in New York City to San Francisco, becoming the first woman to complete a transatlantic drive.
Her journal of the journey was published in 1961 as Veil, Duster, and Tire Iron, which you can find on various rare book sites for $100-$200.
it’s also been republished as Alice’s Drive (amazon).
Next summer, in June 2009, my cousin Emily is going to recreate Alice’s Drive, in a 1909 Maxwell DA restored by my uncle Rich, and cousin Bengt is producing a documentary about it. How cool is that?
The trailer (somewhat old now, a newer version is due soon) follows – but check out aliceramsey.org for more info, to follow the preperations through blog posts, and so on.
