More Police Blotter
Thursday, December 21. 2006
More from my favorite section of my local newspaper (The Aegis): The Police Blotter:
A man in the area of Constant Friendship Boulevard and Tollgate Road told police Saturday someone dressed in a bear suit was stopping vehicles near the intersection.
I wonder if they simply put one of those ear tags on him and let him go?

Ten Things Minus 5

Seems that I was tagged by Sam, so...
5 Things you didn't know about me:
You're it: Yoav, Garrett, Debbie, Alex, Ben
5 Things you didn't know about me:
- I initially studied to be an Astrophysicist.
- I have never lived more than 25 miles from where I grew up.
- I don't like heights. Not at all.
- As a child, I had pretty severe asthma and allergies. I had to get shots twice a week for years to get de-sensitized.
- If I had to pick one regret, it's that I didn't have a daughter.
You're it: Yoav, Garrett, Debbie, Alex, Ben

The people.apache.org site now hosts the very cool ASF Community/Committers page (due to the hard work of David Reid). My next step is to hack my committers page (which is more an ASF records housekeeping page) to the FOAF info David's page uses.
I love local papers
Friday, December 8. 2006
I live in a pretty rural area of Harford Count, Maryland. Even though we get the Baltimore newpaper (The Sun) we also get the local paper as well (The Aegis). The reason is simple: I love small, local, rural newspapers. Where else do you find stories about someone's new tractor, schedules for parades and news articles about kids who finished in the top 5 in a school spelling bee. It's like living on Green Acres.
But my favorite section, by far, is Police Blotter.
The Police Blotter is a listing of small (1-2 sentence) descriptions of police reports received by the local sheriff's office. Without fail, I find 2-3 reports which make me laugh. For example:
A woman in the 2600 block of Claret Drive told police Monday a woman was rearranging her Christmas decorations into something obscene.
I bet being the reporter on Police Blotter is a fun job.

Indication of the way the wind is blowing

I find it somewhat amusing, but even more illuminating, that 2 very well developed "WS" projects (Axis2 and the Incubated CXF) are having a "spirited discussion" on which one is more RESTy. Sanjiva's post and Dan Diephouse's one both wish to show how "their" implementation is more ideally suited to real world usage, as well as being a more viable REST framework.
Is there any better indication that REST is where it's at? If REST wasn't important, would they even care... and would we?
Oh, and by the way, this is the exact reason why the ASF has and supports projects that, at first glance, appear to overlap or even compete. Cross pollination always helps evolution.
