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 [...]

"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
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 100.

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 [...]

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 out [...]
