Here's this year's Christmas tree.

After all the ice and snow, and the people without power for two weeks tomorrow, let's have a great holiday, and good wishes for everyone.
Last week I attended my last OSGi Board meeting, which was hosted by SAP near Heidelberg. Although I'll remain EEG co-chair, Gordon is replacing me on the board.
As you might imagine, one of the hot discussion items was Sun's recent announcement
Last week at IBM Montpellier the upcoming OSGi 4.2 release got a bit closer, and Yan Pujante presented LinkedIn's requirements.

I just wanted to let everyone in the Boston area know we're having the next meeting of the IASA New England chapter next Thursday, October 2 from 5:00pm-8:00pm
As of this week you can download an early release draft document containing 11 design documents we've been working on for the past year or so as the result of the OSGi enterprise initiative.
This is important because according to OSGi Alliance rul

It definitely seems like a long time since the process started, but this is about as good an outcome as we could have hoped for.

I'm sorry to post this so late, but hopefully it's not too late to join the fun, especially if you're in Europe.

Picasa, the popular free photo management software made by Google, has finally made its way to the Mac. The application has long been noticeably absent on the Macintosh - especially given the fact that it has been available for Linux (which typically lags behind Macs and Windows) since 2006. It’s also a direct competitor to Apple’s long running iPhoto product, which has come with all new Macs for years. So how does it stack up?
In my brief testing the application seems to be very

This is the third post in our six part series on Service Virtualization in Enterprise Application Development. The series covers how service virtualization complements hardware virtualization with the ability to reduce cost and increase business agility across the entire software lifecycle. The complete white paper on Service Virtualization in Enterprise Application Development can be downloaded from itko.com.
In this post, we move from hardware virtualization approaches to the service virtual
I often tell stories about companies who treat their customers or developers as if they were idiots. But that's not to say my own company, the one I started, didn't do this too -- it did. It's human nature, but it's bad human nature, it's self-defeating, it's dysfunctional.
When I heard someone say a customer was stupid, I said if that's true we're really fucked.
Here's how I reasoned...
1. We have to believe our customers are the smartest people, because they were smart enough to choose the b
A friend recently pointed out a cool gadget to me that deserves a brief mention on this blog. It is a dog safety collar from Auroralites that uses electroluminescent ("EL") technology to provide a long-lived and bright safety light for your night-time walkies. The product is already being used by police, search & rescue, FBI, and other security K-9 teams, and is now also available for civilian use. The collar is shock proof, water resistant and soft, so they won't break teeth. They

As part of my life of nerdiness, I’ve attended animation festivals since I was in high school in the late-ish 80s. At Cal (1989-1993), I would work the shows when Spike and Mike’s Festival of Animation came to school (it paid $5/hr!). Computers were also (obviously) an interest, and each year one company would produce a computer animated short that was always loved at the festival — Pixar. I was an eager audience member for Toy Story, and have seen every Pixar film, except for
A tweet from Jeff Jarvis:
My son says his problem with Twitter is too much Twittering about Twitter. Judging by today, he’s right. And I just added to it.
That used to be the case with blogging when it first started. Every other post (including mine) was about blogging. Blog blog blog blog.
If you want to get out ahead of the curve when the next new social writing phenomenon happens, be the one who never writes about it.
(BTW, I’m dweinberger at Twitter.)

Are you a software developer applying to a small company?
Here’s a tip from someone who has read thousands of resumes. When you’re applying to a startup, or a software company with less than, say, 100 employees, you may want to highlight the Banging Out Code parts of your experience, while deemphasizing the Middle Management parts of your experience.
When a startup CTO sees a resume that says things like:
Responsible for $30m line of business
Architected new ERP platform

David Luckham started a complexevents.com discussion on what lies in store for CEP in 2009. We won’t re-create that discussion, but instead look at probably the biggest challenge facing CEP: the terminology! There is nothing wrong or odd with businesses having complex (or abstract) events, and requiring detection of said events in a timely fashion with an appropriate reaction; however, many many applications already do this in some restricted way or other. So what differentiates CEP tech
I took these pictures at the Stanford Shopping Center during the week after Christmas. Money sure talks now…
There were a handful of stores without sales signs, but only one didn’t offer discounts and had lots of people in it. :-) We all definitely have our work cut out for ourselves in 2009. As a wise man once said, “Some things need to be believed to be seen.”
"Follow the money" is a common way experts rationalize human behaviors in economics, politics, crime and many other areas. This undeniable truth becomes even more relevant in an economic environment characterized by gloom and pessimism, such as the one we are currently experiencing.It is with this in mind that we are proud to announce that in the midst of one of the most difficult economic scenarios in history, JackBe received $5 Million in additional funding from its existing investors to expan
Oddly enough, the Andre's description of how he'd like Flickr's permission structure to work is the way it originally worked, and, frankly, didn't work. It was based on the relationships we'd developed for Game Neverending: Acquaintance, Friend, Best Friend, Soulmate -- there was another level between Best Friend and Soulmate (or Friend and Best Friend) but now I don't remember what it was. Orkut, in their original version, did a similar concentric friends circle and we knew it wouldn't be long

Darron Schall has just checked in some changes and bug fixes to the JSON support in as3corelib. Among other things, Darron has added a strict mode which allows you to specify how strict of a conformance to the JSON spec you want the library to follow.
You can read all of the details over on Darron’s blog. As Darron notes, these are not in the build yet, so if you want to play around with the changes, you have to grab the source.

Normally I don’t post stuff like this but here’s a cool holiday offer from MindTouch, the makers of open source wiki and social collaboration software, deki. They will donate and adopt, from the World Wildlife Fund, an emperor penguin in any company’s name when they upgrade to MindTouch Standard or Enterprise license from an existing Deki Open Source installation.
