The Java Posse interview with Brian Goetz and Bill Pugh cleared up how Scala supports tail recursion in spite of the JVM's lack of support. Brian Goetz did a great job of explaining that currently compiler writers have to build in the support (which...
Last weekend, an unexpected turn of events (that involve our dog and a box of Bisquick) left me at home, while my family headed off for a planned weekend away with our friends. The time alone gave me a lot of time to catch up on things, including shopping...
I'm a month late in posting this, but better late than never. The Java Posse Roundup was an Open Spaces conference in Crested Butte, CO. It was held March 4-8, and this was the second (hopefully annual) conference. The non-technical sessions , about...
I was just loading up my iPod for my Friday night workout and I was hoping for a new Java Posse podcast. I'm in the habit of listening to podcasts rather than music while working out. The time goes quickly and I learn something. The only downside...
I'm happy to report that Dick Wall will be speaking on Android as well as Guice at CodeMash . These should be highly technical talks. Dick is co-host of the popular Java Posse ( http://javaposse.com ) podcast and a developer advocate on the Google...
It's not just Art Fair this week Yes, it's Art Fair week. Townies know to avoid driving into Ann Arbor unless they're actually GOING to Art Fair. I have a meeting on Wednesday, so I'm riding my bike from the outskirts of town. Usually...

I recently learned about Stanford's Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders podcast (on the Java Posse podcast: thanks Tor Joe!), and downloaded a few episodes to my iPod. I swear, dog walking has NOT been the same since I got the iPod. Sometimes I extend...

Discussions of IDEs, and the special challenges of having choice The Java Posse has released yet another session from the Java Posse Roundup . I attended the Roundup in March, and we had a lot of great sessions, all of which were recorded and will be...
Tour coming to Southfield tomorrow! I first heard about the “ datacenter in a shipping container ” on the Java Posse . Today, I got an email from a local friend that Sun is doing a tour of the “Project Blackbox” in Southfield,...

Thursday, March 8 By Thursday, people were really getting the knack of open spaces conferences. Those who had held back in earlier days were right in the thick of things at this point. People were resisting the urge to lecture, and getting into the collaborative...
Java Posse Roundup After Hours In addition to the daytime (morning) sessions, we’ve been getting together in the evenings. Someone suggested lightning talks in the evenings, and posted a signup sheet. 8-10 talks per night were quickly filled up...
