Being a 2009 JavaOne Rockstar AND a Kid :)
Wednesday August 12, 2009

I may be turning 42 years old shortly, but I can still feel like a kid.  My co-author got this really cool little toy and I wanted MINE.  Well mine arrived at the prompt 2:15 FedEx delivery.  Its small, cute, a toy and not very big deal, but it is still making me grin like an idiot :)

If I could find more "simple" things like this that made me smile this much, I could revert back to being a total kid :)

Update: It comes apart!!!  Oh what fun I can have now :)

Cambrionix 49-port USB hub for professional nerds
Tuesday August 04, 2009

I wrote a blog entry a couple of years ago on something I call the BEAST, 49 Port USB Hub, 49 USB cables and 49 Sun SPOTs !!!.  Well, it seems that someone felt that something like this could be useful to others, so they build a MUCH nicer looking one, check it out

Cambrionix 49-port USB hub for professional nerds

Its pretty amazing what people will come up with.  We actually dreamed up a 49 SPOT holder that would allow one to drop in SPOTs, much like the walkie-talkies that security people have for charging their radios when not in use.
