ICE, the "Internet Communications Engine"

Via Erik, via Java Channel, check out ICE, the "Internet Communications Engine".

The Internet Communications Engine (Ice) is a modern alternative to object middleware such as CORBA(tm) or COM/DCOM/COM+. Ice is easy to learn, yet provides a powerful network infrastructure for demanding technical applications. Ice shines where technologies such as SOAP or XML-RPC are too slow, or do not provide sufficient scalability or security.

ICE is GPL, so... go play.

Authentically Black

I just saw John McWhorter, author of Authentically Black, interviewed on The O'Reilly Factor, and I was very impressed with the guy. I may buy his book!

I'll have to read this Salon.com article about the book once I get our printer working again.
