While waiting for the Streams session to start, I'm refreshing my memory on sequential/parallel and mutable/immutable collections in Scala.
Only in the surreal world of Petstore-as-a-service can not having full support for Java EE be an unqualified "limitation".
At the PaaS state of the union session. Don't bother. They even mentioned Petstore as relevant to PaaS, in 2013! #javaone
Lively discussion at the Project Jigsaw session on whether it should apply only to the JDK or be available to apps. #javaone
At the Functional Reactive Programming with RxJava talk. Full house at 8:30am! #javaone

So next I'm going to the JVM talk to hear about the future according to the "tail". #javaone
After the lambda talk, my sense is that the JVM tail is wagging the Java language dog, not the other way around. #javaone
Presenters: don't use the bottom third of the slides - can't see them. Hilton: please add mikes for the audience to ask questions. #javaone
I was expecting something more cheerful at the end than "Java is not dead yet". #javaone

Lambda looks good, but I'm not convinced by default methods in interfaces. #javaone

I love the Steve Jobs quote about not using plywood for the back of a beautiful chest of drawers, esp. the reason: to sleep well at night.

What is Paul Krugman referring to when he says that "the Fed has by no means done all it could"? goo.gl/R2lqx

On the Naked Capitalism blog, Matt Stoller excoriates Obama. "What could have been but never was" indeed.
I'm considering mailing to the White House a copy of Herb Cohen's "You Can Negotiate Anything". A very useful book. goo.gl/taujL
Go r59 was released today. Good thing they waited until after the Phonegap 1.0 weekend. golang.org/doc/devel/rele
@rajivmordani It's unfortunate they don't sell it without a contract. It's been less than a year since I last renewed mine.
@rajivmordani Yes, it's imported by somebody and sold online. Did you get yours at Best Buy? I didn't know they sold it unlocked.
As usual, the comments on the Java SE 7 final ballot tell a much more interesting and varied story than the raw results. goo.gl/SWqRN

In case you gave up following the Copa America, the Argentina-Uruguay match in the quarterfinals was awesome.

Amazon Instant Video works fine on my Mac, but alas it doesn't support my Samsung Blu-ray player (yet?).
The 17% price hike by Netflix promptly sent me to the Amazon Instant Video page to find out what my Prime subscription can do for me.
Earthbound: it's been six months and counting since my last flight, the longest break from flying in over 15 years.

I can't wait to read about the News Corp legal troubles in the WSJ tomorrow. Assuming they're allowed to write about it, that is.
The last two movies I saw in theaters were "13 Assassins" and "The Tree of Life". It'd be fun to play them back to back. #catharsis
Total cost of the Shuttle program in today's dollars: ~$200B. Seeing Atlantis take off for the last time: priceless.
"We need more science and engineering graduates in America. How about we shut down the space program?" #fail

Sad to see the space shuttle program end with no replacement ready. When it first flew, I thought we'd have a moon base by now.
