“The black-and-white photographs of the Farm Security Administration — Office of War Information Collection are a landmark in the history of documentary photography. The images show Americans at home, at work, and at play, with an emphasis on rural and small-town life and the adverse effects of the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl, and increasing farm mechanization. Some of the most famous images portray people who were displaced from farms and migrated West or to industrial cities in search of work. In its latter years, the project documented America’s mobilization for World War II. The collection includes about 164,000 black-and-white negatives; this release provides access to over 55,000 of these images.”

HDML is the so-called handheld device markup language that allows you to make your Web site portable: People can view it on their mobile phones, pagers, and other tiny devices. Needless to say, the average person is not going to want to research her dissertation on Keatsian animal imagery on a 4-by-12-character screen as she walks to her car, so the language and browser specifications focus on small-scale transactions: stocks, sports scores — you know the type. And now that compliant wireless phones are becoming more widespread, you can use HDML to propagate your tidbits of information to the world.”
