One Sun employee's journey This little light of mine

Saturday May 17, 2008

After hunting around Blogs.sun.com just now, I am thrilled and amazed at what is available to read from the various Sun folks, particularly the engineers... what I am also amused by is the natural rating system that the Sun blog system provides....Jonathan's blog is fifth!

What is more important than the CEO's musings? Well, OpenSolaris today, with Jim Grisanzio's blog, GlassFish and JavaOne by Arun Gupta, The Aquarium, which is about GlassFish, and OpenSource which isn't just one person's blog, but several contributers in various language (on our way to a MetaBlog?), and Rich Burridge's blog, which is a bit harder to categorize, because it appears to be a true blog....this has years of content, incredibly rich and detailed, and likely a Portable Master of Computer Science, which is WAY more complicated and interesting than a Portable MBA... just less $$$ in it :)

Then there is Jonathon's blog...probably doesn't need an introduction for me.  That would be a bit presumptuous :)

I'll jump to a couple more that caught my eye...David Levy's blog is quite rich and detailed. He's a one degree of separation fellow... I proofread his Sun book on O/S Migrations, as I ran the Sun Migration Center in North America. (He co-authored it with a colleague of mine, Brian Down, and another bright SPARK at Sun, Ken Peppell.)

There's that guy that invented Java, James Gosling, with his SouthPark cartoon... now that's when you know you have made it, when someone draws you into a cartoon!

Whiteboard Infinity by Sin-Yaw Wang is also interesting, mostly due to his commentary on China. For a westerner, I can get lost on his site for hours. Thanks for the lessons.

Save for Jonathan, these are voices in the wilderness. It appears that a number of tools are required to be implemented on the site to get one's voice to rise to the surface of the blogsphere.  But then there is human critique and commentary... which is also interesting :)  

What Blogs@sun have you found interesting, insightful, inspiring, inquisitive, etc. ?

You can make your own South Park caricature at http://www.sp-studio.de/... it was quite popular a couple of years back...
