Part of the day at Google I/O BootCamp was a BarCamp. And, I did propose a session. After spending a year working with GWT on a LAMP Stack without an application server, I felt that I had a lot to share.
If I had gotten 1 more vote in the end, my session would have happened. Just proposing...
This was a fun idea, and great execution. Imagine running the Boston Marathon in your own home? Well, with iFit Live, you can. iFit Live integrates a Norditrak treadmill with Google Earth.
Utilizing Street View, you can run anywhere you want any time you want. The treadmill automatically adjusts...
And so, it begins… Registration is going smoothly. There is a lot of excitement in the air.
I’ll be posting more updates later in the day.
How do I decide? These are today’s sessions. My initial thoughts are:
-Intro to Google Maps v3
-??? Totally confused! Opinions, please!
-The Go Programming Language
-Google Web Toolkit: 0-60 in no time flat *
* I know that this session would be mostly a review for me. But, I often find revi...
From Content (googleiobootcamp):
I need to choose sessions from this list and I am having a hard time making the decision.
Yes, I am having a “kid in a candy shop” moment. Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

[S]omewhere, deep inside, Wozniak must realize what the release of the iPad signifies: The company he once built now, officially, no longer exists.

In May, I will be heading to the Google I/O Conference. I had heard that Google was giving out Android phones to help swell the ranks of potential Android developers. So, I wasn’t completely surprised when I got the following email.
As you might have guessed, Android will have a big presence a...
From Google vs. Apple = open vs. closed – Video – Technology:
This is a very interesting video. And, I can see both sides of the argument. Though honestly, these days, I seem to be falling more on the Google side of the fence.
From Malware delivered by Yahoo, Fox, Google ads | InSecurity Complex – CNET News:
…researchers at Avast are pointing fingers at some large ad delivery platforms including Yahoo’s Yield Manager and Fox Audience Network’s Fimserve.com, which together cover more than 50 percent of online ads, an...
From Why Apple and Google Need Each Other %u2013 GigaOM:
Right now, iPhone owners are experiencing the mobile web through the 150,000 or so apps it offers through the App Store. But Apple has also backed HTML5, which allows a smartphone browser to have rich app-like features without requiring...
Now, it’s one thing for a company like Netflix to “accidentally” exclude Chrome, but I cannot imagine a valid excuse for Google Web Toolkit not supporting Google’s own Chrome for Development Mode.
This looks like a genuine #googlefail 🙁
Netflix Watch Instantly should work fine in Google Chrome. After all, it is using the same rendering engine as Safari, so it should just work, right?
The answer is not that simple…
Google Chrome for the Mac is 100% capable of running Netflix Watch Instantly, but the web-geeks at Netflix are ba...
Slowly but surely, my tech life gets more “Googley”.
I spend my days coding using GWT (Google Web Toolkit) using the Google Eclipse Plugin. I will be going to the Google I/O 2010 conference, including Google’s Boot Camp. Gmail is my main source of contact for email and instant messaging...
I was looking through some old posts imported from my old site, and realized that it has been a long time since I’ve explained my choice of technologies to run the site. My first dynamic site was run by b2evolution. Both b2evo and WordPress were forks of an older system. And, over time, I trie...
