The emotions about reading books in digital form and the Amazon Kindle are running high, already before the device was released. For me there are two features that sold me on the device: the networked content push and the content interaction. I have had many pda's, phones and tablets over the years that I setup to automatically pull in feeds such I could read them on the bus or plane.

Congratulations! You have managed to stumble across my first attempt at having a personal site. While the site is admittedly a bit short on content right now, my goal is for this to eventually turn into a fairly interesting place to visit on a regular basis. Be patient, Rome as they say, was not built in a day. What can you expect…well, there will be many conversations about what I have learned or come across in the world of web development.

Bernoulli’s Theorem holds that the potential power that can be produced by a turbine or rotor is equal to the cube of the velocity with which the turbine rotates, expressed simply as Power = Velocity 3. A basic concept of wind energy systems, it is increasingly relevant in commercial building architecture: specifically, if wind velocity can be increased through building design, the potential power that a building can derive from wind energy is considerably greater.

On May 31 2008 a tribute will be held at UC Berkeley to honor Jim Gray, who went missing during a solo sailing trip in January of this year. Although Jim is listed as missing, and will be until 2011, a Tribute be held to honor him before too much time has passed.

I am about to go on stage at Web 2.0 Expo in Berlin where we will announce the ability for Amazon S3 customers to store their objects in Amazon’s European storage cloud. This has been a frequently requested feature by our European customers for various reasons, better latency control being the most important one.
