Medium sized update. Some of my thoughts on things people can do in this economic climate for jobs, jsbin.com, a javascript magazine in the planning, Google's Chrome out of beta, and a few more tidbits.
I attended the Raleigh Code Camp last week and had a blast meeting some awesome people (but of course there's never enough time to meet everyone you'd like to!). Some great sessions I attended covered the MS MVC platform and an introduction to MS DLR, both of which I discuss here in a bit more detail. Also, following up last podcast's ramblings on Javascript speed tests, there's a story today about how Chrome has beat out other browsers in a Javascript benchmark. Additionally, I chat about my new magazine project, GroovyMag.

Just a few musings on the state of Javascript, OpenID, and Yahoo's recent 'open strategy' announcement. Also, a brief note: GroovyMag.com - a magazine focused on Groovy and Grails - will launch next week.
No, those aren't related, but I've got a couple small rants about Adobe's Flex/AIR video system, why I moved back to Windows Media, and (separately) a small but insightful(!) take on the current state of job boards and how job seekers and employers find each other (hint - it stinks right now).
I had the opportunity to meet with some of the team from LogiXML to discuss their new product Widgenie. Widgenie enables easy publishing and sharing of data with a point and click web interface, saving hours of development time.
