Web Services DevCon I’m currently doing final preparations for my leave to the biggest .NET weblogger gathering.  [Ingo Rammer's DotNetCentric]This is so true…talk about a critical mass of webloggers.  :-)  I just yesterday managed to adjust my schedule a bit to make it to this, and I think it’s going to be a great time!  [...]

Physicists working in Europe have passed through nature’s looking glass and have created atoms made of antimatter, or antiatoms, opening up the possibility of experiments in a realm once reserved for science fiction writers. [news.com]Cool!

Ray Ozzie says:Unless you do very little work online, the concept of weaving all of your activity into a single web page couldn’t be more misguided – from an efficiency and effectiveness standpoint.I don’t agree.  First, it doesn’t have to be a single web page – give me more integration into Outlook, or some other tool [...]

Our second day of qualifying was today.  I woke up this morning with a clear vision of what I had to do to make up a couple of tenths.  We went out on the track at 11:40am; the sun had been shining for a while, the temperature was getting warmer, and the track temperature was [...]
