Better, Faster, Lighter, Java
I saw Justin Gehtland speak over the weekend at the NFJS event and was so impressed I went out and bought “Better, Faster, Lighter Java”, a book he helped write. I’m really enjoying it so far. It’s reinforcing beliefs I already have and giving me an additional tool to explain to others these beliefs 🙂 Granted, it’s a high level book and deals more with concepts then specifics – but that’s aok with me – that’s what search engines are for.
Here goes a presentation by Bruce Tate on the book and the concepts it presents to fight bloat and complexity.
Good stuff. Highly recommended.

No Fluff Just Stuff
Me and some co-workers had the pleasure of attending No Fluff, Just Stuff’s Atlantic Northeast Software Symposium. If you get the chance to attend one of their events, I highly recommend it.
A little more personal
Since I’m posting more on blogging and politics at Philly Future, I’m probably going to re-orient my homepage back to personal matters. That means technology, music, movies, and anything else that gets me jumping. I know I said I’d do this before, but the last few days I just couldn’t keep pace at both sites. Too much going on and you got to keep priorities straight.
The weblog nation
Jesse James Garrett used to maintain a list of bloggers he read, and it was nice seeing myself there. Early homesteaders we were.

Guilty
Jason Sweeney’s killers have finally been convicted. And I have something to say for those arguing for the death penalty.
