Re: [ba-unrev-talk] introduction (was Re: ICADL call for short papers)


Dan,
Motoring around your site, I landed on: http://vizbang.com/iaml/
"IAML is an XML syntax designed to be a very simple way of placing a few 
kinds of media objects (images, 3D shapes, chunks of text and audio clips) 
in a 3D space and to allow navigation between them with links."    (01)

That work appears to have ended when you moved to Santa Barbara.  Anything 
happening with it since the move?    (02)
