Monday May 08, 2006 Java? On yer bike!
Interesting extract from the JavaOne press release:
Think Green -- Bike to JavaOne
This year's JavaOne Conference falls during "Bike to Work Week". To support this effort, Sun has partnered with the San Francisco Bike Coalition to offer a free "Bike Valet" service Monday to Thursday from 8:00 a.m.- 7:00 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in front of the Moscone Center South Hall. If biking isn't possible, Sun suggests public transportation including BART, AC Transit, CalTrain, MUNI, the ferry, among others. JavaOne attendees who support Sun's efforts by biking or taking public transportation will be entered into a drawing for a Lance Armstrong signed Discovery Team bike jersey, other Discovery Bike Team gear, Timbuktu messenger bags, memberships to the Better World Club, the eco-friendly auto club with the nation's only bicycle roadside assistance, and other great prizes.
Now, if they provided bikes at the hotels too that could be really interesting...

This could be a way to recycle old Apple kit once the move to Intel takes hold and the universal binaries stop...
