Shirky on the Semantic Web. "First, take some well-known problem. Next, misconstrue it so that
the hard part is made to seem trivial and the trivial part
hard. Finally, congratulate yourself for solving the trivial part."
Another great essay from Clay Shirky. He's right on, IMO.

Las Vegas Overload. The week of November 16 there are three valuable confrences in Las Vegas: Comdex, Apachecon, and Jupiter's cdXpo. And I'm going to do my best to cover all three. The first problem is where to stay in order to shuttle back-and-forth between the convention center, Mandalay Bay, and the smaller hotel/spa where Apachecon is being held.
Then there's the problem of overlapping agendas. I want to ramp up on Utility Computing, but COMDEX and cdXpo have simultaneous all-day sessions on the topic on Tuesday 11/18. Which one to attend? Tough call!
Going to be in Las Vegas that week? Let me know!

The Scalability Advantages of Message Queueing. "While most discussions of asynchronous messaging focus on its ability to deliver improvements in reliability and loose coupling, few delve into the scalability benefits delivered by message queuing. This excerpt from Doug Kaye's recent book Loosely Coupled - The Missing Pieces of Web Services investigates the scalability advantages of asynchronous messaging through the use of message queuing."
