I ended up living in a triple in college with two grads from The Lawrenceville
School in Princeton, NJ.
What made their private high school experience different than my public
one?
Aside from the exposure to "blue books," it
was the ancient lore from their high school. Most public high schools
don't have any published stories or histories, but this private one did,
called The Lawrenceville Stories, published in the early 20th century.
This single fiction publication series sets the Lawrenceville School apart
from rivals like Hackley, Choate, Groton, and Phillips Academy.

Recently, there was posted a rare
article that exposed the emperor of web editors for being naked.
Well, it's about time! Finally, the development community is starting
to see the jigsaw puzzle in focus. Content Management Systems and their
built-in editing interfaces are making stand-alone (and expensive!) website
editing software obsolete.
What makes this story even more compelling, is the consolidation of software
companies [Adobe + Macromedia] that led to the dominance of ONE editor
[Dreamweaver], and then that ONE editor finds itself whistling alone in
the dark in the forest of users.

We rank this one a 5.

There's a new college ranker in town: stateuniversity.com This one purports to be "completely statistical and based on government sources" with the added caveat: "Note that some schools do not have enough data to be ranked, and these schools will not appear in our lists."
Well, it's about time! We're still waiting for U.S. colleges and universities to form a huge consortium for one purpose: self-rankings. But as this new entry into the college rankings arena clearly demonstrates, tomatoes aren't potatoes. In other words, rankings are quite subjective, especially those that purport to be based on statistics since the choice of the set statistics is in itself, an editorial decision.
