Encyclopedias
I've had a love of encyclopedias ever since hearing about an autodidact who read the whole set of World Book Encyclopedia's cover to cover whilst living in a tent in remote North-Western Australia in the 1960's. Now I have visions of millions of people in developing countries creating a revolution by accessing and writing in places like Wikipedia on $100 laptops. I also use my own installs of DokuWiki - there's something about a flat database I like - portability perhaps.

Web2.0
In 2005, I began incorporating Web2.0 tools such as VOIP, social bookmarking (del.icio.us), community photographs (Flickr), RSS Feeds, wiki (Wikipedia, DokuWiki) and other open source methods into academic teaching, research and internet publishing.
