This is very interesting, it will make Java even more popular than it already is. My question though, is how will this affect compatibility and inter-operability? My experience with several Java-based tools at work indicate that Sun had issues keeping new versions of the JRE compatible with previous ones – or at least developers were using features of older JREs that didn’t work when you installed the newer ones.

Motorola has some interesting strategies going on. With the Symbol purchase and now Good Technology, it all points towards an enterprise mobile strategy with wireless PIM syncronization and good Windows Mobile support.
Another interesting service that revolves around syndicating blog content for cash.
Excellent article at Read/Write Web on Group Ware, or niche social networking.

You may have noticed that there are some daily links being posted every day (or mostly every day). I’ve set up my Del.icio.us favorites to post the links I tag every day to my blog.
The point in this is to let you find the articles and blogs that I’ve run across during the day, so you can see what I find and what things are influencing my thoughts for the day. Kind of neat – let me know what you think.

Ok, its late – 2:30am Saturday morning. But I’ve done it! RickMahn.com has a new layout. I’ve leveraged a 3-column theme here on the blog, and have gotten to use several new features that I had been planning on for some time. And it only took 4 hours to do!
The nice part about this layout is that the main body of every post has much more room for text and pictures. It also has a bit cleaner CSS structure for text, bullets and the like. Another neat feature was the support for sidebar widgets in WordPress – it made it much, much easier to set up all the specialized items that I had on the original configuration.
Well, off to get some rest – I’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow. Hopefully, we’ll get a chance to go to the Power Sports show in downtown Minneapolis – one can hope anyway.
