As Justin pointed out yesterday, Oracle.com unveiled a very cool 2.0 (or dare I say, 2.0+) application called Oracle Events. This is a very useful mashup of the Oracle events calendar, Google Maps (surprise!) and a combination of Siderean Seamark and Oracle’s own Secure Enterprise Search. Many of you will recognize the semantic features that… Read More

Is Google on Crack?
"I am 100 percent behind Google’s four conditions, but I see very little likelihood that they will be accepted by the full commission." — Robert Cringley on Google’s plan to bid on the 700mhz spectrum
Thank You Readers!
We crossed a few milestones or recently, so I thought I’d share them with you. We launched this blog June 1. Today: Feedburner says we have 208 readers. That number fluctuates wildly, but we’ve held your attention better lately, getting from 100 to 200 in a fraction of the time it took to get to… Read More
My iPhone Review
After a month, the torrent of iPhone reviews has begun, so who am I to miss a chance to jump on the bandwagon. Actually, a reader suggested that I blog about the iPhone as a business tool, and I know that a lot of people out there either have one or are sorely tempted to… Read More

Jake is Blogging about Facebook.
Yes, this is also my current Facebook status. By way of Nick O’Neill at All Facebook, I read a blog by Megan Berry today about the collision of her personal and professional lives on Facebook. It’s an interesting read. Aside from the irony of blogging about things she did not want her co-workers to see… Read More
On JavaScripting
Now a little something for our techie readers… we do have a few right? One aspect of Ruby on Rails that I don’t like (surprising, I know) is the bundled Prototype JavaScript library. When Prototype came out, I loved it. The $() selector introduced a novel way of writing JS code. Then other libraries came… Read More
On Hiring a Web Developer
While looking for a developer to hire into our team, I’ve been particularly focused on looking for someone who has a strong web development background. Just because a programmer has written complex c, c++, java code or knows how to hack linux kernels does not mean they can build a web application. A web developer/engineer… Read More

Now that we’ve been around for a few months and have some posts in the archive, I decided it was time to roll out a search plugin for our blog. If you frequent this space, you’ll know about search engine plugins. If you don’t, here’s a quick primer. So, I’m happy to announce that the… Read More
Humor for a Case of the Mondays
This is classic Onion. I saw this weeks ago, but it took Lifehacker to remind me how funny it is. Enjoy the Internet Crash of 2007.
