Links include "when to use SOAP" and a challenge to the hallowed Placebo Effect.

A Closer Look at SOAP I was hooked from this paragraph on: "This discussion on RPC will clarify the aspects of SOAP that are intrinsic to SOAP specifically. Here you may discover that the things you like about SOAP aren't related to SOAP directly but, in fact, are features of XML-RPC. This brings up an important point in using any technology: Make sure you don't use an overly complex package to address what may be your rather simple needs. "

Something I've always wondered about:
Study Casts Doubt on the Placebo Effect.
"In studies in which treatments are compared not just with placebos but also with no treatment at all, participants given no treatment improve at about the same rate as participants given placebos." [via Follow Me Here]

I splurged. A present for myself. One guess. It's an object in the picture.
