Sifting OpenSolaris Blogs from Tokyo
From the still of the night in Tokyo, Japan, I thought I would close off "Opening Week" for OpenSolaris by sifting through some of the interesting OpenSolaris launch blogs.  Bryan and Liane have been doing a great job by sifting, listing and then doing more-sifting of the technical OpenSolaris blogs.  I thought I would add to their effort by pointing out some of the interesting, provocative and amusing blogs that do not focus on the source code per se but do focus on the community and the conversation.

Note to readers - I'm quite sure this will not be my last "sifting blog".  I keep finding more!  So if I haven't included your blog, perhaps I haven't found it yet.  Please send me a link...
