metacrap

In one of my classes, we are working on a phone project. Basically, we are given photo phones and required to come up with an application that will rely on structuring good reusable metadata. I can’t help but get cranky at this, although i can’t tell if it’s because i actually don’t believe in metadata structures or if it’s just a good target to critique. All the same, Cory’s Metacrap rant makes me smile all too much.
