Facebook (finally) allowed Java Script in FB applications outside of IFRAME http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/FBJS Among other things, I liked how elegantly they are creating namespaces separating different applications on the same page. Seems that it cold be a security hole here - it is possible to enumerate java functions on the page and "impersonate" user actions with another apps installed on the same page. Other than that - it's great that we can use JavaScript outside of the IFRAME sandbox.

Click here to check out The SF New Tech Meetup! Visisted SF New Tech September Meetup last night. Very exciting! People in the audience simply rock. Formal presentations, on the other hand, are behind the curve. Meaning that smart people are not presenting or presenting in other venues? Or rather "work" than "talk"? :) http://www.conduit.com presented upgrade to their browser plug-in. Good implementation but I do not personally see much of the future in the environment of customizable dashboards, gadgets and widgets with much richer experience http://www.sezwho.com also a couple years behind the curve http://www.us4real.com - good use of GMap mash-up with RSS feeds. Generated active discussion and bunch of suggestions that were "pushed aside" by the presenter as difficult or computationally intensive to implement. Do we create start-ups to solve exactly these kind of problems? Hire a part-time architect to sort-it-out. http://www.globalmotion.com - showed...

At some point (last year) I was discussion with Mozilla regarding location-aware application development for the upcoming phone-based web browser. Too bad that did not materialized into the code... Still browser is good and hopefully will capture well deserved attenshion and appreciation of the users. In my opinion it is superior to the much-hyped iPhone browser. Here is the link for the app: Minimo 0.2 Win Mobile is the only platform at the moment. I am sure other builds will be available soon.

Goggle just release Calendar Gadget spec: http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/calendar_gadgets.html#UsingiCal I like it. Especially the elegance of incorporating metadata into the iCal format. Will try to create calendar gadget myself by extending one that I created for connect12 a short while ago: connect12.com conference Google gadget

Found nice (and free) market maps: http://www.firstpartner.net/map/download.html My favorite is "The Gadget & Widget Universe" Others include: - The Skype Ecosystem - A Guide to VoIP - A Guide to Web 2.0 Communities Great for your desktop or the wall (if you still have some space left)

What not to do when you have a problem: Encapsulate it into a bigger problem Ignore Delay Hide, disconnect, or use any other method to burry the head into the sand Give up Write to the blog about it instead of solving it
