 Today was the eve of the JavaOne developer conference in San Francisco.  I met up with a couple of old friends from the JavaSoft days, Blake Connell, who's now with BEA, and Calvin Austin who's now with SpikeSource.  Calvin and I worked closely together on Java for Linux, and later on Java 5.

 I also ran into Jim Grisanzio at a JavaOne reception tonight.  Jim is the community manager for OpenSolaris, and relocated to Tokyo, Japan, a little over a year ago.  He is one of the most active bloggers at Sun.
