I received an über-alt invitation to driedonpaper.org’s unveiling tomorrow evening. It’s a darn cool little thing:
Er… so what is driedonpaper? Their man Matt is staying very tight-lipped. I do have this from an email he sent me:

I had a very interesting talk with a friend of mine today (in the most awesome Monmouth Coffee), mainly about the use of technology in high school education.

Oh. My. Gosh. I’m nearly wet with glee.
