On the eve of JavaOne, I discover James Gosling's blog at java.net. Apparently, James has always had his own website at http://norquay.com/.   Just as I suspected, he hasn't been involved in Java for a couple of years now.  I guess you get that feeling when he talks about his pet project Jackpot. See, Jackpot is in essence a project about slicing and dicing code.  Now, I don't know about you but in the past 2 years, Eclipse has been slicing and dicing code like its nobody's business.  Now, if they were smart, Jackpot should get some collaboration going with the Eclipse guys.

James says he wrote his own blog software and he's one day going to place it on a ftp site.  That's nice!  Although, I've got to say, that's a pretty original layout he has on his blog. I haven't seen that before.  It's actually very nice. If you think about it, it's an ideal way of presenting all those pictures you're taking with your cell phone.  Just when you think that he's over the hill, he comes in with something utterly brilliant!
