Web Services Wave - Major hurdles must be overcome, but the time is right for close evaluation. "Until now, and for the near future at least, Web services are more hype than substance...(however) expect legions of Web services advocates to crop up soon, and stay away from those who aren't pledging unswerving dedication to the World Wide Web Consortium's XML and SOAP standards work.

Web services are the great leveler of heterogeneous networks, a universal communicator technology for IT."

The buzz about web services is beginning to remind me of the mid-90s when browsers were gaining momentum in the press and on people's PCs. The good news is that, as with the former trend, web services are poised to achieve the same ubiquity and market appeal, translating into more opportunities for developers, service providers, and users alike.

InfoWorld published this excellent brief overview video on cloud computing. Worth a look if you're in the dark about the cloud!
3Com® NJ100 Network Jack (3CNJ100-BLK) -- What a cool idea! While 3com promotes their nifty ethernet jack technology for business & educational use, I'm seriously considering it for home 'cuz it's "cleaner" than scattering discrete 10/100 switching hubs around the house.
