Angie Byron (a.k.a. webchick) and Geoff Butterfield have given a
Tech Talk presentation at Google about Drupal.
For web people interested in the way Drupal works, and what it is capable of doing, this recorded presentation is a great way to get ramped up quickly.
DeepRockDrive Comes Alive!

I've worked on more than a few websites over the years, and without a doubt, DeepRockDrive is the coolest of any of them, by far.
It's mostly cool because of the idea behind it, crowd powered live music shows, streaming live over the internet. But it's also cool because of its implementation, as a Drupal CMS based social network, with some magic dust thrown in for good measure.
So you may have questions... What's the crowd powered part? Are shows streaming over the internet any good? Will I dig it?

Accessibility Ruling: The ball is now in your court... Is your site accessible to the blind?
Submitted by Christian Nally on Thu, 2007-10-04 23:14.
In a landmark class action suit heard in a Federal U.S. district court, there is now legal precedent requiring some sites (like Target.com) to have their websites be accessible to blind users.
The implications are this: does your site have support for the visually impaired? your HTML will need to be well structured, and you'll need to have CSS that shows how to express your content on a screen reader.
