I just found Matt Raible’s post on removing whitespace from JSP pages after rendering using Tomcat. This was perhaps the most annoying thing about HTML output from JSP pages and I’m glad to have cleaner output and less of it. Thanks Matt!
- Why Starbucks
Any organization that becomes sufficiently large such as McDonald’s, Microsoft and now even Apple will have the soulless corporate persona automatically associated with them.

- BarCamp TDot
Thanks to David, Jay, Deb, Bryce, Sacha, Michael, Patrick, Gabe and everyone else who helped out with BarCamp on Saturday.
