Web Things, by Mark Baker

Yes, *that* RDF.

“Is there any better indication that REST is where it’s at?” Heh, no, I guess not. 8-)

Technology run amok!

Neat. Google Base + graphs. Will have to play more with it.

“In fact, if there was such a thing as an “internet driver’s license” some of you might be in danger of losing it at the moment.” Heh. 8-) Go Jeff!

“Another benefit of this is that if there is ever a new syndication feed format, you don’t have to wait for browsers to be updated with the new MIME type to recognise it as a feed.” Independent evolution, check!

Damn, only 58. Africa killed me.

My latest on why the Web is better.

“”So your architect isn’t all bought into SOA, eh? Well fire him, dammit.”” 8-) You get what you deserve, of course.

“Anyone can master the names of big concepts and combine them like so many puzzle pieces; it’s knowing how they work that takes time.” Sound familiar?

(via Rob Sayre) I’m really looking forward to sitting down with this spec for a couple of days.

Doritos!!

“Now begins the age of REST, and Rails, and Microformats, and getting shit done.” Amen!

It’s 2006; it shouldn’t be that difficult to write even a reasonably good “REST vs SOAP” story. This one doesn’t seem to add anything more to the conversation that wasn’t there in 2001.

Four years later, and we still don’t know the architectural constraints of Web services/SOA 8-(

“Is this science? Truth? No, it’s the voice of goons.” +1

Nice. But damn, how hard is it to get Roy’s name right? This at least the third or fourth time I’ve seen “Ray Fielding”.

“[..] if you have an incredible idea of your own […] people around you will consider you a moron right up until the point your idea works. Then they’ll think you’re a lucky moron. Genius looks just like stupidity to the observer”

So this is the infamous Yohei (in Japanese)

Whither serendipity?

“Is there going to be Web 2.1, followed by Web 2.2 (or perhaps 2.2 alpha)? Don’t you people have better things to do?” 8-)

Woohoo, more competition for Futureshop/BestBuy

“The right thing to do, of course, is only offer a GET binding to safe operations and not to everything” No, Sanjiva, that’s *not* the right thing to do. The right thing to do is to enforce GET as the operation.

“This is where the biggest benefit is hidden: A clear approach to controller-design that’ll reduce complexity for the implementer and result in an application that behaves as a much better citizen on the general web.” Cool. Too bad Ruby makes me ill.

And so begins the awesome holiday season wine releases in Ontario. Hang on to your wallets! Taylor 30 yr Tawny, mmm, Bordeaux 2nd growth, mmm. Opus One. Oculus. Siegerrebe Auslese. I’m in heaven.

“WS-Ubuntu – […] Despite the name, it’s not really based on Ubuntu” ROTFL!! Good one, James. 8-)

Whoa there, horsey. *Axis* doesn’t get it, and neither do some other recent projects, as well as a few pieces of other projects. What Apache is best known for – httpd – seems to have a pretty solid grasp on it.
