As I figure out my plan of action for the day to stay uninformed about the Apple Tablet and just watch the keynote on my iPhone when I get home later (sounds much easier in theory) I thought I’d share a quick couple nuggets with everyone.

Until now, we’ve really only seen Drupal as a service that requires us to download the core and run the code from a server. The beta launch of Drupal Gardens is possibly the Ning/Wordpress solution to that issue. Not as much a standalone web solution as it is a way to quickly set up microsites that are socially powered for promotional purposes, it presents itself as a really great tool for corporations such as ours to have in-market solutions for fast deployment.

Plus it’s free until the end of 2010 – peep the demo below and then grab your invite here:

Also in totally irrelevant news, these brain slug cupcakes by Alicia Traveria are Futurama-awesome. Carpe diem!
