The cool thing about user submitted content is that you can't always predict what you're going to get. Our speakers at the Singularity Web Conference, for example, submit and update their own bios and session descriptions on the site. Yesterday, I noticed that Dr. Woohoo had put up an image of one of his awesome generative artworks in his session description.

I love viewing PDFs on a Mac. The built-in Preview app is lightweight and good for 99% of what I need to do (if you need to digitally sign stuff, created PDFs, etc., then by all means get the official Acrobat reader/writer from Adobe.) I have the latest Acrobat installed (all 1GB or so of it) but I still want to use Preview and Safari's built-in PDF viewer for my daily browsing because it's fast, lightweight, and Just Works.
Until upgrading to Leopard and reinstalling my software, I hadn't had an issue with this at all. But since the upgrade, I started getting the following message when trying to open a PDF with Safari: AdobePDFViewer cannot find a compatible Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader to view this PDF. Please select one.

Of course, since I hadn't considered images in session descriptions, this had the side-effect of breaking the layout of the sessions page.
It seems that Google Groups has some seriously strict spam filters in place as they're currently blocking urlfetch requests for RSS feeds from Google App Engine applications.
This morning, I started what I hoped would be a quick Flash widget to display the latest RSS headlines from our new Singularity Local Conference Hubs Google Group on the new local conference hubs page on the Singularity web site.
The Singularity Web Conference is breaking new ground: we're creating a new type of web conference that is at once global and local, social, and green. Instead of flying half-way around the world, we're going to be meeting up in our own local communities and using those gorgeous pipes on The Internets to take part in this seminal global event.
