		<description><![CDATA[I attended the Frye Institute&#8217;s Alumni leadership workshop prior to Educause &#8216;08 last week. The best part of the session was the morning when a small group of about nine of us set off to explore open source, open content, and collaboration.

		<description><![CDATA[I have been thinking about the personal responsibility and identity issues that reveal themselves on the web and in virtual environments.
