Drug Companies inventing disease for ‘profits’!
All this time, I thought step 1 was: steal underwear. step 2:…. step 3: profit. I guess I was wrong on that one. Not sure I believe what this article says. They say ADHD is invented and if that’s the case, then WOW drug companies have one hell of a PR dept.
NASA plans probe to blast into moon to look for water
It’s only a 2 TON probe. Hopefully they won’t ruin all the cheese up there cause god knows, I’m bringing my nacho chips.
Global Warming threatens extinctions
It’s really amazing how much we have been hearing about this in the last 6-12 months, especially with the strong hurricanes, etc. Maybe it’s time everyone does get biodiesel cars and hybrids. Or we can all just work from home, (cough, cough)
Uh hu, sure dept. Portal Web arrives on hard-drive
40 gigabyte HD to store entire Internets. That’s one hell of a compression technique!

Tuesday morning. One more day closer to Friday (or Saturday, depending on what day you are waiting for! 
). The weather has been so awesome here lately. I was actually able to work outside for about an hour and a half yesterday which was AWESOME. Hopefully today I’ll be able to do a bit of the same.
Lately, I’ve been trying to pick up AJAX/DHTML/JavaScript (ok part of AJAX but whatever) and I have to say I’ve been impressed with DWR (Direct Web Remoting) and the DOJO Toolkit. DWR allows me to expose my Spring beans directly as JavaScript method calls. VERY NEAT. Dojo toolkit helps me build my DTHML interfaces based off the data received by DWR. The biggest problem with DOJO is lack of documentation and examples. There are some good blog entries that highlight examples, thank god. IBM even has a couple good articles.
Hopefully I’ll have something sweet in a few days.
