My pick of the week's top 5 items of interest:
  1. The Web 2.0 Summit 2008 concludes today. Winners: web apps that save the world. Losers: Yahoo's Jerry Wang.

  2. Firefox for your cell phone?

  3. Have you heard of the Year 2038 Problem?

  4. Flash or Java for game development?

  5. Whether you're happy about Obama being elected or not, we've just experienced something monumental in American history. And it is refreshing to know that race is significantly less of an issue today.

    Someone with a lot of time on his hands also compared the web presence of McCain and Obama in Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc.; Obama won hands-down.

  1. I actually had to adjust code this year so that 30 year mortgage calculations would not hit that wall. It was funny to me that a lot of the recommended solutions at that time just pushed the problem forward to 2106 (unsigned bit version). The rationale was that "I won't have to maintain or fix it and my software probably won't be in use at that point anyways". It feels like I have heard that justification for other bugs that were dumped on my lap...
