"Well, the task this time is to evaluate my MMP against my Design Specification. There's a problem, I never wrote a design specification (once again due to time constraints, hmm, I detect a pattern here...). So I guess I'll just say what I think about my MMP. I like it :D Considering it was the first time I'd done something like this, I'm happy with what I did. There are a few things I would have liked to do differently though, and some stuff I should have done differently. I really would have liked to do my MMP in the style of 'Some Days'. I really liked that MMP and I would have loved it if I could have done mine in sort of the same style. I had nowhere near enough time to do that though, and I'm not sure I would have the artistic capability"

My Poem

Pirates
Pirates are evil and aggressive
They may attack your ship
Without a moments notice,
They come with a pistol and a cutlass
And make leave with your bonnie lass
They may also take you gold
Or just a few barrels of oil

Pirates have a special way of talking
Like "Argh, me maties" or just simply
"Give me ye rum"
It's not very polite
But how can you blame someone who can give you quite a fright

Pirates can be men; they can be women
They may be white; they may beard
Or they may have a parrot
But in the end, who can blame them for just making a living?

""Web 2.0 is about the people, when it comes down to it."
That's what Richard Macmanus thinks. Others think along the same lines as him, but then again, some others have completely different ideas. For example, one of the definitions that Macmanus has written down on his blog states that web 2.0 is:
"the underlying philosophy of relinquishing control".
That's a lot of big words for something that is supposed to simplify the web, which is what Web 2.0 is for. The idea behind it was to create a new platform where people could share data in more easily as well as find it. With it came the use of "one-button publishing", something that I am using as I type this post. With a single press of a button, this article will be published into my blog; something that could not have been done before. The reason it could not have been accomplished before was because, with the birth of web 2.0, came the birth of XML text. This replaced the older HTML, otherwise known as "computer language" to some. With HTML, everything that can be done today, could still be done, but it was a lot more complicated. For example, to write this, all I had to do was press ctrl + b, but with HTML, I would have had to type in <> and < / b > at the beginning and end of my sentence respectively.
Basically, Web 2.0 has evolved from Web 1.0, in an attempt to make everything on the platform of the World Wide Web easier to use.
So, when you think about it, Web 2.0 really is about the people, making it easier for us to communicate, to share ideas and to find information; keeping us more connected in a sense. Even making the gap across oceans and continents that little bit smaller, and easier to cross."

Pope to skip Holocaust museum on trip to Israel

Pope Benedict XVI will not visit Israel's Holocaust museum when he makes his first trip to the region as pope in May, though he will visit an adjacent memorial, his ambassador to Israel said Tuesday.
Pope Benedict XVI, shown at the Vatican during a prayer Sunday, has spoken out forcefully against the Holocaust.

Pope Benedict XVI, shown at the Vatican during a prayer Sunday, has spoken out forcefully against the Holocaust.

The museum includes controversial wording that reflects a long-running dispute over the role of Pope Pius XII during World War II.

The pope will visit the memorial section of Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, but will not step inside the museum part, the envoy, papal nuncio Antonio Franco, said at a news conference in Jerusalem.

Critics have accused Pope Pius of doing too little to prevent the mass murder of European Jews by the Nazis under Adolf Hitler. A caption in the museum says he maintained a neutral position during the years of mass extermination of Europe's Jews.

The Vatican defends him and is gradually opening its archives in an effort to show that he acted behind the scenes.

The announcement that Benedict will visit only part of Yad Vashem also follows international outrage over his rehabilitation of a rebel bishop who denied the Nazis systematically murdered 6 million Jews in the Holocaust.

The Vatican ordered the bishop, Richard Williamson, to recant, and said the pope was not aware of Williamson's views on the Holocaust when he lifted the excommunication of the bishop.

Benedict, who was born in Germany and forced to join the Hitler Youth as a teenager, has spoken out forcefully against the Holocaust on a number of occasions, including on a visit to the site of the Auschwitz
