Another book in the drupal revolution! This book is unique in that it is really a "cookbook" for a teacher (of any kind) to setup a new drupal site to use to enhance their classes. The target audience is new or intermediate drupal users. Certainly the main focus of the book is education.
Drupal Multimedia 
Drupal has had a great run in the book publishing arena these last few months. Drupal Multimedia is the latest book on the street. I really liked Drupal 6 Themes because it had a focus on something that was very important for an aspiring drupal ninja.
Every book has a target audience - this book's is pretty narrow is scope - people that want to understand how theming drupal 6 works. Ric Shreves hits the target! I am a mid level drupalite - not a ninja programmer or designer but not a beginner either. I found it very helpful.
Geeking around seaching for drupal stuff on vimeo I found this video:
Microformats and Media... RFC if you like JS or CSS good to see "smart" drupal people working on stuff I am interested in...
In related news from WebOrganics by Martin McEvoy ...
hAudio 0.9 has reached a stately version 9.0 which I imagine will be the final proposal from the contributors of the hAudio Microformat.
We had a great meeting in Orlando about a dozen people showed up .... and we are going to meet on a monthly basis!!! Look for more news on the http://groups.drupal.org/florida site...
I am still thinking about how to use RDFa and microformats ... even while I am here in Orlando at BarCamp...
I see there are Structured Blogging plugins for Movable Type and WordPress that in Drupal terms are new content types that allow you to create things like contacts, events, reviews using Microformats including:
hCard
hCalendar
hReview
relLicense
relTag
XFN
XOXO
Good Idea make it easy for the end user to do this stuff ... please!
In my blog posts will I add special semantic / RDFa / microformat tags? well maybe I will when I better understand it -- I do type my html "raw"... so whats a few more attributes.
