Zero is not Null and Null is not Void

"Zero is not Null"
" and Null is not Void"

Spending the weekend at the Western Canada Java Software Symposium and the snippet of conversation stuck me as one of the geekier moments so far. A detailed conversion about the definition of nothing. Having a great time BTW :)

JavaScript is the New Metal (Again)

Hearing Scott Davis and David Geary talk about Google Web Toolkit at Calgary's NoFluffJustStuff this weekend, I was reminded of one of last year's bloggable quotes: JavaScript is the new metal. The difference is Scott thinks people need to get down to the metal and David thinks the GWT Java to JavaScript compiler is trustworthy. I'm with David GWT is very cool.

Was also impressed with Brian Sletten's take on NetKernel and the the power of emerging semantic web tools.
