Founded way back in 1997, Paul Watson’s art site, The Lazarus Corporation, began life simply as a gallery for his work. In the years that have followed, it’s grown to include articles and work from other contributers, and has a healthy forum community. Recently, Paul has been experimenting with ways of using RSS (see Principia Discordia) to expose his work to new audiences.
The latest project of The Lazarus Corporation is The Research Lab. The main purpose of The Research Lab is to act as a scrap-book for Paul’s ongoing research, but it has become a kind of open blog-wiki hybrid. It functions almost like a blog, documenting Paul’s research with posts displayed in reverse chronological order, but like a wiki it has sustained value as a reference and invites contributions from visitors. The Lab will be left open as a useful resource for those who stumble upon it.
It’s a clever re-purposing of the blogging features of the Drupal content management system, and, naturally, features an RSS feed so that new entries can be viewed from a news reader and even redistributed through other sites.
