<body><outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7144076.stm&quot;&gt;The BBC&lt;/a&gt; is reporting that the government is concerned about gender stereotyping on vocational training courses - ie. not enough men are on hairdressing courses. Well, not enough women are in IT. Good to know, then, that the graduating class in philosophy that I sat with in brown robes on Monday had an 8:6 female:male ratio. I was trying to find PZ Myers' blog post about the gender ratio in his graduate level biology classes but ended up finding &lt;a href=&quot;http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2007/07/evolution_of_a_sex_ratio_obser.php&quot;&gt;a post about gender ratio in butterflies instead&lt;/a&gt;. I shall leave the psychoanalysis of this piece of serendipitous/incompetent Googling to your imagination." created="Fri, 14 Dec 2007 15:45:22 GMT"/><outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://scobleizer.com/2007/12/12/first-look-semantic-web-app-twine/&quot;&gt;Scoble&lt;/a&gt; has video up of Nova Spivack talking about Twine. I hate to say it, but I think Twine isn't tremendously interesting. And I don't think that the Semantic Web is going to emerge from venture-backed California startups but really by accident. The unique selling point of Twine doesn't seem to be there. I can't understand why I would want to use it. Just being honest." created="Thu, 13 Dec 2007 23:18:34 GMT"/>
