Yesterday evening over a bowl of absolutely delicious Itik Tim and noodles, Peter and I discussed human psychology with a friend, and what would happen to society in the case of catastrophic disaster.

I have started to stock up a grab bag of survival essentials obtained from nearby Army and Navy's camping section, including iodine tablets, and a sealed tin of 37 various items, including string, matches, compass, etc.

Breaking news:

At Noon Pacific, April 21st, online publisher CNET announced the winners in the 2008 Webware awards and open source content management system Drupal wins the Webware 2008 award in the publishing and photography category.

While we don't get too hung up on awards, for Raincity Studios (and our colleagues formerly known as Bryght) and the Drupal community at large, this is a pleasant validation for the hard work and enthusiasm we dedicate to building this open source content management system.

And this is no light weight trophy! Here's what the organizers say about the process:

Despite the breathy post title, Raincity staffers DID NOT pose for the cover of the newest tome from romance-centric publisher Harlequin, however the RCS team DID build the new eHarlequin Community.

Less than a week since launch, the fresh participatory marketing endeavor is already bustling with activity and humming along to enthusiastic reviews.

The details of the myriad new features and the tricky customizations crafted within a compressed time-line (along with the big strategic vision of the project) are summed up in the eHarlequin Portfolio entry.
However, what was most interesting from my vantage point was how quickly the participation started on the live site.
