just a few days away from our TME engineering outing to see Star Trek: NEMESIS! which also happens to be the title of one of my favorite Agatha Christie mystery novels. and Agatha happens to be the name of one of my cats. and speaking of Connections - it's one of my favorite channel 13 TV series. 2:33:21 AM    comment []

congratulations to Steve Grand for his NESTA award. i've been tracking his work for quite a while now, and he's one of the most original and productive thinkers i've come across. one day i'd love to meet him. interestingly enough, i wanted to invite him to present at web services one, but the show organizers weren't sure whether he'd be a good draw. a couple of months later, i noticed that he had been invited to present at a microsoft event! http://www.nesta.org.uk/mediaroom/newsreleases/3127/index.html 1:58:02 AM    comment []

GLUE beta 1 shipped with a real time management console written using FLASH. i'm not aware of any other consoles that were written this way - most use HTML. it will be interesting to see what feedback we get! 12:21:52 AM    comment []

i noticed that after i reinstalled radio, half of my blog is associated with an old home page, and half with this new home page. it's quite odd. i posted a question to the radio forum and home to reunite the two again shortly. 12:20:50 AM    comment []

i'm re-reading one of my favorite books, "atlas shrugged", for about the 20th time. it's a great book by ayn rand. my favorite character in the book is hank rearden. in many ways, gaia is my version of "rearden steel", something i've been working towards indirectly or directly for the last 10 years. almost there..... 12:19:23 AM    comment []
