Next year Nintendo will be putting out a new version of the Wii, which is long overdue. There are plenty of rumors about the high tech things the new Wii might do (hi-def, cameras, etc). However, not much of this interests me. While I’ve been known to get it on like Donkey Kong, I’ve never [...]
At Advanced BusinessLink we’ve had server-side templates built into our web technology since the mid 90′s. A few years ago I built a Javascript template library for use in the browser, which is incredibly fast and useful (and something I’d love to open source someday). I cannot stand embedding HTML code in program code, as [...]

One caveat is that you must format the date strings properly yourself (e.g. 3 “Mar 2009″). As an aside, why don’t books include the MLA and [...]
Google has announced a new feature which lets you view public stats such as unemployment data over time. This is really cool. I hope they open up a data API soon! There are definately some interesting simple gadgets and apps I can imagine for this. ShareFacebookEmail
I really hope that Oracle’s purchase of Sun is a great thing for the industry somehow. But I just hope they don’t kill MySql to defend their own database. And I hope they see value in re-injecting some energy into Java, or, barring that, just open it up completely. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/04/20/oracle-wants-to-be-the-apple-of-the-enterprise-but-it-just-became-ibm/ ShareFacebookEmail
