Restfulie
Guilherme Silveria and Cau Guerra are at it again. Great stuff guys! I can’t wait for our book to finish so that everyone can check out our discussion of hypermedia and the stuff we’ve built. It’s really great to see Restfulie taking a very similar approach to ours. Here’s Jim‘s post on Restfulie. Guilherme Silveria…

A weekend in New York
I spent last weekend in New York. I looooove this city. Every time I visit, I am falling more and more in love with it. I don’t know what’s ahead in my personal/professional life but after my current gig I would seriously consider a move there. We’ll see. The “excuse” for this quick trip was…

Wow… our book is not complete yet and folks have already started writing code based on our examples? 🙂 I just read on Jim‘s blog that Guilherme Silveira, Adriano Almeida, and Lucas Cavalcanti have been doing some good work in this space. Very very cool. Excellent job! Now guys… we also have a DSL for…

When patterns and frameworks get the job done
I loooove good technical arguments. Over the last couple of years, I have stayed out of the community discussions around REST, Web Services, SOA, Grid, and all that. This was a conscious decision on my part. I much prefer to focus on building technology rather than arguing about it 🙂 However, I still enjoy monitoring…

U2 concert in Vancouver
What a wonderful wonderful experience that was! We had a blast! I left work early to get to Vancouver with 1 1/2 hours to spare so that I could have dinner with my friends before the Black Eyed Peas who were opening for U2. Unfortunately, I hadn’t calculated the traffic at the tunnel before Vancouver,…

Seattle colors
Seattle is sooooo beautiful at this time of the year. I’ve been carrying my camera with me the last week or so and taking photographs of the colors and the rapidly changing landscape. This is a sunset from my balcony… The top of the Queen Anne hill, where I live, is gorgeous…

Moby at the Showbox
I went to Moby‘s concert here in Seattle yesterday. It was absolutely great. I don’t know whether it was the music, the dancing (lots of jumping :-), the vibe, the wine + beers that we had beforehand, or the combination of all but I had an amazing time. I loved Moby’s statements of the obvious…

“The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery”
I am extremely honored and humbled to be amongst so many scientists who have contributed to the book entitled “The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery“. I met Jim Gray back at the end of 2003 and since then he’s been an inspiration to me. He was amongst the best Computer Scientists but also such a…

“Star Wars in concert” – It was excellent
I attended the “Star Wars in concert” show at the KeyArena earlier tonight. It was quite an experience! 🙂 There was a large orchestra and symphony to play John William‘s compositions from the movie series. A huuuuge screen was playing snippets from the movies. Cameras were not allowed in so I was only able to…
