Welcome to the Brave New World of Content Delivery

Sunday April 1st, 2007: If you are tired of Sun's traditional documentation portal, try this new site that is more in tune with the needs of users in today's fast-paced world.

The site is inspired by the realization that the book has been dead for a long time now. The launch of this new site finally gives the book the decent burial it so richly deserves.

This change is only the first step in a bold initiative to move towards more innovative ways to deliver content to users. Even the new site is limited because it provides mostly static content. For a preview of some even more exciting developments, try a site that specializes in dynamic content.

Is it just me, or is this entry really witty?

It's so simple, yet so profound.

It's a Mark Twain kind of funny.

John, no, of course it's not you. The entry is really witty.

Joking apart, I'm glad that you enjoyed my little joke. Of course, the joke is worth telling only because it contains more that a grain of truth. I hope to discuss this topic more in a future blog posting, but for now, I must get back to my day job.

I found this very funny too, especially because it's not really a joke.

Scott, maybe the joke's on Sun's customers.
