Hopefully it’s oversight

And not a case of routing around. There are tensions between the preexisting weblog java community and the new one springing up at java.net. Both are looking for the major webloggers (the so-called ‘A-list’) for recognition and linkage.

Here’s a hint to the folks at Sun – this isn’t an automatic process. It’s going to take time. Keep linking to the best Java webloggers out there and you will eventually see the links flowing back to you. It’s a two way street.

Important show for The Phoenix Trap tomorrow night

They wil be playing at The Hard Rock Cafe to compete for an opening slot at Rolling Rock’s Town Fair IV.

Update: It was a great show. The crowd was enjoying themselves, I even saw a 5 year old girl dancing between a few dinner tables! There is no way I couldn’t notice their growth over the three times I’ve seen them this past year. Musically they are tighter (the chorus to “Miss You” had a few old heads rocking) while their stage presence has grown tremendously. The entire band is rocking out now and having fun – as it should be. Keeping my fingers crossed for them. 🙂 And yes, Mark (their bass player) is a friend and fellow weblogger, and I am biased, but I wouldn’t steer you wrong. Give them a listen – you won’t be disappointed.
