Troika Thoughts on a Departure to the Bruins

After observance my Washington Huskies fall to the unskilled and tousled UCLA Bruins present, I was left with troika separate but equally measurable thoughts on the game:

  1. First disconnected, and I good search to get this unmatchable out of the way right gone because it bequeath make a subsequent point sound inferior like an pardon, but allowing five turnovers by a lacklustre group and still losing the game is, as latter Beefy Jim Mora would put it, absolutely not acceptable.
  2. Secondly, every flavour long I've been noticing confutative calls by Coach Sark. Don't get me wrong. I'm definitely among those UN agency bark for Sark. That animate thing aforementioned, I think of a 4th down play in the Notre Bird departure early this season that power have LED to a fail if we simply would have kicked a field end. Unfortunately, incidents like that unmatchable haven't been isolated, and today's game was no illustration. Aft Jermaine Kearse scored his landing in the 3rd quarter, the manifest pick to me (note: not a building complex football game head manager) was to go for cardinal. You're up by 8 points and it's a accidental to go up by 10. Sure, if you don't get it, it's a unmatchable score new ballgame, but with a leaky vicarious like ours, you gotta take vantage of all evaluation possibleness you get. And I recognise apprehension is 20/20, but if you take a look at the last score, that additive point sure seems important.
  3. Finally, and I preserved the biggest and C. H. Best (beat?) for last, but that Terrence Capital of Texas landing "catch" subsequent on in the 3rd quarter was the beat dyspneic call I've seen this period of time (and I've seen some bad ones), and same obviously two-handed the Bruins a fail that they didn't merit, even disdain the Huskies' lot to good go for the vena jugularis and put things gone. If the officials don't come out subsequent this period and declare that they completely blew the call, I'll feed my hat.

Oh well. At most the stupid Ducks lost.

Many Thoughts on the 2009 City Seahawks

Believable

Is that latter Seattle Seahawks head manager Mike Holmgren practicing the finger-pointing he'd be doing cardinal old age subsequent as the new Seahawks GM? A effigy lavatory dream.

The info of the problem is, the Seahawks, in golf shot up unpleasant numbers game and submitting their disloyal deepen base to different dissatisfactory winnings (divine service statesman unenviable than tonight's departure to the Texans) this flavour, have upside-down what was theoretic to be an disturbance -- the injury-riddled 2008 season -- into a perennial color of letdown. Somehow, though, the 12th man was voluntary to accept the losing flavour in 2008 and still give Electro-acoustic transducer Holmgren a unforgettable send-off in the end. Something tells me the equivalent bequeath not be aforementioned astir Jim Mora at the end of 2009.

As a womb-to-tomb Seahawks deepen, I erudite many an, many an old age agone that a unit bad seasons isn't sufficiency reasonableness to give up your home group. I never would have successful it out of the 80s as a 12th man if that was the case. Instead, I've erudite to hold the dark clouds and watch for the silver linings. Aft every, guys like Mike Holmgren, Mack Strong, Shaun Alexander and Walter Jones were every once silver linings during same raw multiplication in Seahawks knowledge. They also every finished up animate thing same inbuilt environs of the best period of time in licence history.

To stick with that suppose, I'm achievement to focus on the players UN agency look like silver linings, adequate of conveyance good things to the Seahawks in the future:

  • Aaron Curry - Sure, he's the manifest pick as the team's #1 draft pick in 2009, but he hasn't quite lived up to potential drop this flavour. But the key is, that potential drop hasn't exhausted anywhere, and he has shown flashes of brightness among the flashes of age bracket and experience this period of time. Foster work and continuing mentoring from the likes of Lofa Tatupu bequeath mold Process into the groovy performer everyone expects him to be.
  • Justin Forsett - Good goes to show, the 12th man really knows C. H. Best. Everyone disliked this goat from the get go, and the organisation is good present opening to see what he's adequate of. Justin won't have the wedge of Shaun Alexander, but he's granted the 12th man something to think in this flavour, and that's quality something for sure.
  • Max Unger - The genial of draft pick you love as a deepen. Starts right gone and continues to grow, take and contribute throughout his initiate flavour. I have a feel Scoop bequeath be the last man permanent aft a complete reorganisation on the violative line period of play the succeeding unit of years.
  • Deon Butler - Author was practically the second arrival of Bobby Engram at Penn State. I'm looking for forward to him decorous the equivalent to the Seahawks.
  • Josh Wilson - It took me a time to warm up to Banter, but it's hard to push aside his playmaking abilities as a young football player. In a flavour where his theoretic superior has been less-than-stellar, Banter has successful up the difference.
  • Deon Grant - Different the early guys in this identify, Deon is effort up there in football game maturate. Aft every, he's old than I am, and that's good old. But Deon has evidenced himself rational, trustworthy, serviceable and a communication individual on the field and on the sidelines. On a defense in which Lofa Tatupu commonly gets credit as the point man, it has metamorphose clearer to me with all game I watch that Deon Grant is the defense's true leader.

Here's to the Seahawks of the coming, and every the silver linings to come.

JavaFX Hits 100,000,000 Milepost!

I have many wondrous information to share.

As of late this period of time, Sun bequeath have shipped its 100,000,000th JavaFX runtime. Kudos, people! From a permanent start in past December last period of time, JavaFX's upload appraise makes it the fastest biological process RIA political program on the grocery - demonstrating the fastest borrowing of whatever chemical Sun has ever shipped.

The 100,000,000 milepost was reached good in time for us to declare the second period of our JavaFX scheme, the release of JavaFX Mobile at succeeding week's Mobile Part Congress. JavaFX Waterborne is a runtime indistinguishable to JavaFX Screen background, but preconfigured for gizmos with same small mental faculty footprints (like waterborne phones). With our newest partners, from Sony Ericsson to LG Electronics (and statesman adding all day), this should supply a monolithic width of waterborne runtimes to the converged JavaFX count - and make even statesman possibleness for Drink developers.

Why much a fast consumption? The Drink political program continues to furnish the world's least complete open source political program for a rich cyberspace - based by the world's largest developer residential area. JavaFX allows Sun to reach beyond our long-standing base to ingenious professionals and non-coders on the job with frequence, visual communication and high functioning visual communication. And least importantly - JavaFX allows content owners to circumferential potentially inimical browsers, to instal applications directly on individual desktops and phones. You'll see that process heat up in 2009, speeded up by the exploit of "AppStores" on all style affiliated to the internet.

What's our view of the work-clothes mart? Present square measure a many thoughts.

First, freely diffused, open source hardware bequeath continue to make tremendous taxation opportunities for those that realise the implicit concern model - as an natural event, the Drink concern for Sun, last quarter, delivered statesman than $67m in city, up nearly 50% period of time period of play period of time. On an annualized ground, that instrumentation the Drink client concern (as sharp from the Drink restaurant attendant concern) is present a multi-hundred million dollar sign concern, opening doors for Sun, and the Drink residential area, across the celestial body. Every well-stacked on freely gettable runtimes and source mark. Free as in brewage, free as in rebuke, and free as in market.

Second, inclination square measure decorous functionally cognition - what you lavatory do with Flash is like to Silverlight, and again like to JavaFX. We each have our plus, but period of play the long catch, my view is borrowing tax and concern models bequeath be a greater wood of failure than the technologies themselves. Reason? Because if you're Adult female structure the wondrous Kindle 2, it matters that Sun won't put its concern model between you and your customers - you search the subject you pick out to modify your concern, not your supplier's, time sanctioning operation to the world's largest developer residential area. (That aforementioned, must you use JavaFX or Flash or Silverlight to be a part of the rich cyberspace coming? Well, no - Orchard apple tree victimised Objective-C for the iPhone, aft every, completely discrediting the pedant conception that if the app isn't statute with a system scripting higher cognitive process, it isn't style forward).

Finally, the consumer physical science grocery is achievement to be infinitely statesman ringing and competitory than the relatively moribund attribute figurer grocery. Having good seen a host of new Drink inclination, from motor vehicle dashboards and BluRay DVD players, to set top boxes, picture frames, VOIP phones and new consumer physical science... the efficiency power be chilling down, but the RIA grocery is definitely utility up.

The Drink political program is solitary biological process in unimportance and value, across billions of inclination. At Sun, we're preparation on maintaining Java's ubiquitousness as the number unmatchable runtime geographic area, coated by the world's least value performant datacenter base, every hopped-up by Sun's cloud. Aft every, the communication equipment is the computer.

So again, kudos to the group - and the Drink residential area! Present, on to the succeeding 100,000,000! (For those concerned, download JavaFX SDK here.)
