Dare Obasanjo: “I actually think the “offline problem” is a valid problem that we have to solve. However I think that trying to tackle it from the perspective of taking an AJAX application offline is backwards.”

I agree.

Peter Williams: “This approach does lead to media types being created, but media types are cheap so we can — and should — have as many as we need. Used properly, content negotiation can be used to solve the problems related to versioning a REST/HTTP web service interface.”

I agree with that also.

Tested for, and received, my brown belt today. I’m not 100% happy with how I tested but I passed. I need to continue working on my spin kicks (the bane of my martial arts existence) and I’m having trouble with my forward flips and rolls. Before I test for my Red belt, I need to spend some extra time practicing and perfecting these once and for all.

Cinque Henderson: “Given the choice, I prefer to side with the group that knows their candidate can be a jerk”

Today I did something I haven’t done since junior high (um… 19 years ago)… I used a mac. I’ve got a used macbook (10.4) to use as a test client for some of the stuff we’re doing internally. There are a lot of mac users at IBM so we have to start making sure our internal apps work well in Safari. In any case, now that I’ve got it, I might as well figure out what all I can do with it. If anyone has any suggestions for must-have apps, please let me know.

Here in California we get a lot of sun; especially here in the Central Valley. Given that, I really have to wonder why solar collections systems aren’t yet being installed on new homes as a standard feature. There is a significant amount of roof space out here that is simply not being used for anything productive.
