Glue, Gaia, Grid computing, Graham Glass and The Mind Electric
That's a lotta G's.
Here's what I like most about Graham. I asked him how two Gaia namespaces would federate. "I don't know," he said candidly, "but I've learned that when the time comes to do it, I'll figure it out." Good answer! An Internet-scale grid OS is going to have to be bootstrapped like the web itself was. A peer-to-peer clustering fabric for web services, done in a style that's closer to SOAP::Lite than J2EE, is the kind of approach that could light the fire. [Jon's Radio]
I couldn't agree more. I'm just dying to get my hands on Gaia. We're running Glue in our production environment at work now and I can only imagine the things we can do with Gaia. Hope the price is compelling as it is with Glue.

NPR changes link policy in response to weblog outrage
"The blogger community brought it to our attention that this (permission form) was sitting out there," she said, "so thanks to our friends in that group for that." Also, NPR realized that having people ask for permission "was not really in step with reality."
NPR Retreats, Link Stink Lingers. NPR.org no longer requires permission to link, but its insistence that it will go after those who use its content 'inappropriately' tells critics it still hasn't learned its lesson. By Farhad Manjoo. [Wired News]
