XFN - XHTML Friends Network

This is an interesting concept that requires further evaluation.

Google Maps API Documentation

I think I am going to have to find a really good use for this... maybe some LARP/GPS/GoogleMap combo?

Pretty good review of what went right/wrong. Only wish is that he would have included the prices.

Slashdot | Java to Appear in Next-Gen DVD players

Oh, I am so torn.

On one hand, I *need* a DVD player with Java.

On the other hand, I refuse to buy any more Panasonic crap. In case you are wondering why, I went to RMA a 5-disc changer and a PowerDrive2. They wanted $160/device TO TELL ME how much they would charge me. Screw that.
