• A tale of two Web 2.0 conferences and mashups
  Web 2.0 has jumped the shark. Start placing your bets on what will be hot at SXSW 2008. I lean towards Dion’s train of thought: hybrid web/desktop/mobile/etc. apps. US telcos may be loose enough now?

• Java API specifications for LDAP-centric and directory-agnostic clients
  My question is: did JNDI do more harm than good for LDAP? In avoiding a leaky abstraction, did we loose the benefits of LDAP/directory in the late 90’s? (That Higgins diagram makes my head spin.)
