Webby award nomination

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Yes! A Webby award nomination. No! Not for this stupid blog of course. My good buddy Sander is winning prizes with his Rube Goldberg viral animation. Now the viral is nominated for a Webby. The nomination in itself is a recognition for his work. But let’s help Sander to win the Webby we all know he deserves. Voting can be done here. We keep our fingers crossed. Good luck Sander!

Google App Engine

True, true, I don’t like Python all that much. I don’t like programming languages where whitespace matters. Give me brackets, lots of brackets. Anyway this demo is very cool. Recently Google launched Google App Engine. An application hosting engine where everyone can create and upload their application. Here’s a small demo of how simple it is to use Google App Engine. Brett Slatkin uses Python to quickly create a small web application for shouting out messages (twitter anyone?). Nice to watch and makes you want to program something, really just anything. Where’s my editor?
