Links don't appear/work, neither will partial feeds. This is not a two way device, it's one way. There's an appeal to that. And page at a time helps stay focused. This ain't a textbook! heh.
There's oversized and there's just plain ridiculous!
I'm pretty sure they are deliberately taking the mickey here!
Rail Switching Services rebuilt NW2 No. 168 is seen at the Marshalling Yard at Proviso, in October 1999. The little switcher was of Great Northern and BN heritage, and as I recall, was serving an industry at Sterling, IL in the late 90s.

RRS Discovery is a barque-rigged auxiliary steamship built for Antarctic research, and launched in 1901. She was the last traditional wooden three-masted ship to be built in the United Kingdom. Her first mission was the British National Antarctic Expedition, carrying Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton on their first, and highly successful, journey to the Antarctic, known as the Discovery Expedition.
As an intensely inter-connected social software, tied by RSS, full of tagging folksonomy, is the world of 43Things. This first site is a place where individuals list 43 goals in life, tag them with descriptors, and write entries when they are achieved (or not). The social opart comes that you can see others who have the same goal, and read their stories (and as a marked aschievement, one can designate they are willing to help others).
Recently added on (and connected) is 43Places where you can list 43 places in the world you want to go, or have been to. With the same parallel features, you can see others who have the seem desire (or have been there).
And now they are tied together by 43 People which lists your profile (include links to your "things" and "places") plus you can list 43 people you'd like to meet, and then write a story about that meeting.
Perhaps this sounds trivial and a frilly (especialy when many people seem to want to meet Hollywood stars and some goals are, just, well, not even possible by the laws of physics), it is a vaulable experience to see how the social tools are worked together.
Perhaps with some structure, some copaching, some examples, the goal setting aspect could be used for academic, career, as well as personal goals.
In fact, this is the very subject of Jeremy Hiebert's Masters Thesis on 43 Things Masters Thesis in Educational Technology:
“Using social software as a method of identifying and collaborating on learning goals. 43Things is the most obvious application of this idea, letting users define goals, many of which are goals requiring learning (‘I want to learn PHP and CSS’, ‘learn to cook great vegetarian meals’, ‘learn to record music on my laptop’, etc) and then connecting individuals to others who share that goal so they can collaborate on achieving the goal together—sharing resources, expert recommendations, online tutorials, links and comments to support each other. I think it’s a powerful model of self-directed, self-organizing collaborative learning.”
And like a good Web 2.0 social software citizem, he is using the 43Things site as part of his efforts:

And looka t this- he is one of 60 others with the same goal of explore how 43 Things can promote online learning!

So ask yourself, does your multi-thousand dolllar Course Management System have any functionality close to this?
