Huey Lewis says: That's the Power of Love!

Here at Sun Microsystems, we're all getting ready to show the "Power of Java" at the JavaOne 2005 conference in San Francisco next week.

See:

The Power of Java, that's the Power of Love

First time you feel it, it might make you sad
Next time you feel it it might make you mad
But you'll be glad baby when you've found
that's the power makes the world go'round

Here's a quote: 

  Where much of the J2EE development 
  has come at the hands of companies 
  in the U.S., more technology advances 
  in Java 2, Micro Edition (J2ME) are 
  coming from [other] countries 
  providing the most innovation in 
  that area, particularly in the 
  mobile phone space.
So, since my blog is mainly about J2ME, I guess most readers are not from the U.S., which means my jokes about Marsha Brady, Danny Partridge, Devo's "Whip It!" are totally lost on most folks. Darn. Here, I am trying to be witty, with song lyrics from Huey Lewis and everyone out there probably has a blank look on their face... thinking, "What he talk about? He not funny. He think he funny. But, he not funny". :-)

For some of us who are from the USA, we're still puzzled by some of your postings since they reference people before our time... :-)

Who's Danny Partridge?

Sorry, Bruce! Danny Partridge is a character from a 1970s TV sitcom. In real life he was played by the actor, Danny Bonaduce, who used to be also a disc jockey and went through drug rehab as a troubled former child star. There's a new movie coming out that is a remake of the old TV show. See: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0444678/ Hinkmond
