If you're near the Google campus this Wednesday, Oct 21, please stop in for the Ajax Push Panel:The Chronicles of Web Standard Prince Comet: Next Wave of Comet. I'll be there along with Alex Russell, Michael Carter, Greg Wilkins, and Dylan Schiemann. It should be a good opportunity to discuss the impact of Google Wave and Cloud Computing on push technologies. Should Google support Servlet 3.0 in the Google App Engine, or should they force people to use proprietary technologies? Should ICEfaces Ajax Push be split out into a separate push server, available with no dependency on JSF?
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

David Blank-Edelman (Microsoft SRE Academy) explains 7 essential questions to elevate your reliability practice. He challenges engineering leaders to redefine reliability metrics beyond availability, replace "root cause" with contributing factors, critique the 5 whys, re-evaluate the true goals of toil automation, and understand SRE's role (firefighting vs. partnership).

Pico-Banana-400K is a curated dataset of 400,000 images developed by Apple researchers to make it easier to create text-guided image editing models. The images were generated using Google's Nano-Banana to modify real photographs from the Open Images collecion and were then filtered using Gemini-2.5-Pro based on their overall quality and prompt compliance.

In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, centralized architectural decision-making can become a bottleneck to delivery performance and innovation. Through stories from our own journey, we’ll share how decentralizing decisions improved alignment across teams, empowered faster decision-making, and fostered a culture of ownership.
