I have been working on an interesting problem of trying to upload a file to a server using a REST service in Java. So far things have been quite complicated.

I’m really sorry about the advertisements. I put them up to hopefully help me pay for the cost of hosting this site, but they seem to be in odd places. I will try to sort this all out sometime soon.
I am currently using the AdSense Now! plug-in to put my Google AdSense ads around the site. It seems to just throw them in at random places around the site. Things line up a little better in stories but not by enough. I should probably just turn it off until I have time to figure out why the ads are everywhere.
Again, sorry for the huge mess that this is making on top of the messes that are already here. If I don’t get this sorted out by next week then I promise I will disable the ad program. Thanks for your patience.
UPDATE: I think I finally got the ads under control. Please tell me if they start misbehaving again.
Imagine being able to be connected to the net no matter where you go. You could keep all your files with you so you could use them at any time. There would be no need to sync data between devices since it would be right at your fingertips anytime you needed it.
I’ve been working on a REST interface for adding, removing, and viewing Hazard information in the database at work (I’m at the Pacific Disaster Center). Setting up REST was pretty easy, but validating the input has been a bit of a problem. Since it took me a while to find a good solution, I figured I’d post how I went about taking care of my validation problems here.
Augmented Reality is like reality but better. Taking reality and adding everything you like about the internet into it is what makes it so great. Layar is just one company who is already doing this.
I have been looking at the new lineup of smartphones ever since Google released Android on the G1. The iPhone, the G1, and now the Palm Pre. They have been calling me to come buy them and experience the future, but they sadden my by being available on every network except mine.
Two months ago I signed up for Mars Real Chocolate Relief Act. Two days ago I finally received my rebate for free chocolate. In short, it was great.
The metaverse is something that has always held my attention. Being able to venture around cyberspace like it was a game has been the coolest idea ever to me.
I’ve recently been reading more cyberpunk\sci-fi books. One of my favorite parts in these books is there description of cyberspace. Entire 3d worlds on the net. Every website like a building or some sort of visual representation. This got me looking for current metaverse projects to see if we are anywhere close to being there now.

I’ve recently decided that using your voice to control objects is awesome!
I tried out some programs on the computer for typing and navigating using voice control several years ago, but the technology was horribly flawed. It would do things your didn’t want it to do and was very frustrating. But recently, I’ve played a few games that have voice control commands and have been pleasantly surprised.
