Mary's top pick: Qnext
The hottest demo in the entire JavaOne general session keynote program -- witnessed live and in person by 15,000 of the smartest people on the face of the planet -- was the Qnext showcase of technology. This is a must-see! go to the webcast and witness the replay for yourself. It is going to blow you away.
Well, my lovelies, who do I meet on the Pavilion floor but Oren Asher, Chairman and CEO of Qnext, along with ...

Maurice Singer, pictured immediately above and a really nice, guy who lives in Canada who spent a whole bunch of time showing me how this killer technology works and whose name, i'm very embarrassed to admit, i do not remember.
LOVE THESE GUYS! love their technology. This is my top pick. check it out today.
OK. gotta jam. I'm...

take a walk with me...
So we're still on the Pavillion floor here...
Take a walk with me, will ya?
Look, there's a guy from Quest.

They're giving away t-shirts. I told him I'd pmote it in my blog. Took a picture of him -- the whole nine yards... You'd think they would have offered me a free shirt in exchange for the publicity. nope. oh well. it's not that i'm disappointed or anything...
Hey, look! that's Tim Lindholm!! The very same guy who was onstage at JavaOne today! He's such a nice guy. Such a stellar human being!

Hi Tim!!!!!!

Look everybody, it's John Shell!! One of my most favorite guys who works at Sun Microsystems! You'll recall I saw him last in Shanghai.
Kinda crazy how you work at the same company and you only see people in person when everybody's traveling...&nb...

Wheel of Fortune!
no secret one of my favorite things about JavaOne is collecting free stuff...
on my very quick preliminary round...
the number one place to go to for free stuff is to the Sun pavilion where you can spin the wheel for fabulous prizes!

in fact, that's just what my new friend Java developer David Hurst, who works for ACI Worldwide did!

That's David, there, holding his prize.
What's that? You say David's prize doesn't look so fabulous?
Well, lady luck just wasn't on his side when he got his turn at the wheel today... here's all the other stuff he could have won...

But you know what? Everybody's a winner at JavaOne! David -- and everybody else -- gets to play again tomorrow, and on Wednesday.
Who loves you, baby?...
