They can think themselves into other people's minds, imagine themselves into other people's places. (via:benyeoh)

I'm not sure what problems this solves. There's plenty of Gears-like-things, the HTML5 local storage spec is more interesting because it's declarative approach, not piddling around with low-level file i/o.

Simple broadcasting & subscription notes.

How 37signals was created etc.

Stumbled across this (whilst looking for BBC's Mashed day out inspiration). Saw it been used in conjunction with some bone-juddering samples at the Bjork gig.
Tiny Arduino Nano.
I like this site. You'd think it would be full of people with a chip on their shoulder, but most of the contributors seem pragmatic about the state of their companies and give honest advice about what to expect. Some (like Microsoft) are better than other

I spotted this during the Germany-Portugal match - feed data finding it's way in to adverts (with less than a 30 second lag). Persuasive technology.
A data structure for a tiered mapping application.
This has been picked up by a few user-centered design blogs but isn't it just standard a business process reengineering story? Efficient processes = less staff (via:37signals)
It's annoying that Opera Mini's proxy servers are located outside the UK somewhere so that the BBC site comes slapped with Ad's (that I have to pay to download).

This passed me by (it's 3 years old).
Another reason to learn JS.

Tracking HTML5 web forms implementations.
HTML5 web forms implemented as JS library.
Would be useful to learn more about DBUnit

Quite pragmatic.
Stolen from Kim, equally impressed. Mind is awash with inventing fake history.
Bean implementation
Why bother.
Cookbook, snippets etc.
Suprisingly good.
Web Forms 2.0 aims to simplify the task of transforming XForms 1.0 systems into documents that can be rendered on HTML Web. Good thing.
Basic overview.
I tell people that if it's in the news, don't worry about it ... It's when something isn't in the news, when it's so common that it's no longer news -- car crashes, domestic violence -- that you should start worrying.

In the spirit of our Dublin trip here's a list of stuff we did so I don't forget.
Took a trip to San Sebastian and spent a night in Villa Soro. Very friendly, pretty hotel.
Ate at Andoni Aduriz's Mugaritz. The veal enveloped in a vine-infused charcoal from the Naturan menu was one of the most interesting things I've ever tasted.
Ordered jambon, anchovies, and olives (in Spanglish with a slight French accent as dictated by the babel fish) in the food hall under San Sebastian's main square.
Watched surfers on Playa de la Concha.
Tripped to Biarritz. Reminded me how nice UK seaside resorts could be but generally aren't. The waves looked to be about 6-7ft by my untrained eye with more bodyboarders than surfers. There's an exciting tunnel you can rush through as the waves crash against the sea wall every 15 seconds, only a little spoilt by a local vagrant using it as a shower facility.
Took a suprisingly easy drive up the Pyrenees (our last drive to Col de Port was fraught with hairpin bends, narrow roads, and agitated French drivers) and a 5 hours round trek through meadows and an ever-increasing incline to the Cirque de Gavarnie. We went back an alternate way only to find it blocked by a warning ("pour votre sécurité") so we took a shortcut back to the other trail through the UNESCO protected flora and fauna.
Thanks to the ever more useful N95 we found a petrol station next to Blagnac Airport so Avis can't charge us some exorbitant fee for topping up the tank. Ha Ha.

Using JUnit 4 with Selenium today, I wondered what the word for a program that uses method naming conventions in the source code to dictate what it does, and now I know.
Commercialised Helma OP system.
I see parallels between the goals of the semantic web and the AI industry as both aspire to create intelligent machines. I think the w3 crowd can learn from AI, billions of stated facts != intelligence.
Screenshot plugin. Might be useful to hook this up to CruiseControl RC.
