We have enjoyed a fantastic day so far. Watching the worldwide map throb new locations to life throughout an entire worldwide day has been a real treat.
Each of the developer day events had their own feel, but the buzz seemed to be the same.
With the announcement of Google Gears, Mapplets, and the like, there has been a lot to talk about.
There is a lot of information out there, but a brief roundup:
Google Gears
- Aaron Boodman kicks it off with his Google Gears talk, using an offline presentation tool. The finishing touch is the need to search for the last page!
- Google Gears Fireside Chat
- Google Gears for WebKit
- Google Reader goes offline
- The Google Gears blog is born
Google Web Toolkit
Google Geo
Other
- Google Mashup Editor was shown off by Paul McDonald
- Jeff Huber Keynote writeup
- YouTube API session writeup
- Adam Sah on Google Gadgets APIs session writeup
And this is the tip of the iceberg.
For more, check out the growing list of YouTube videos of the sessions, view the pictures from the event, and see what people are saying about it.
Now it is time to watch the last marker go red at the party back at the Googleplex.
Then tomorrow comes, and we get back to work to take in the suggestions and ideas from the community, and to press on from here!

Chart courtesy of stockcharts
CIEN shares jump more than 17% closing at 34.32% after company reported higher than expected quarterly results and boosted its 2007 revenue growth forecast. Stock broke out the downtrend to new highs today with volume above average Thechnically chart looks Bullish, with both 50 dma 200 dma going up and MACD on top of 0. In addiction with K line back above D line we should see the stock continue to go up.
Looking at the chart stock has had a nice run over the past few weeks and again stoped at the major resistance 65.10$, the big wall for NTRS. I’ll be Bullish in this stock if breakout this area.

They Go Really Well Together #2
May 31, 2007 Noticias
When Tara from Should You Eat that? informed me of a new event she was hosting called They Go Really Well Together…let’s say I was intrigued. You can tell by the logo that this is a more unusual type of event.
The ingredients for the month are Banana and Parsley and the objective is to create a dish that uses both these ingredients.
I must say this had me stumped for a while due to the quite strong flavour of parsley and how it could ever partner with banana. My solution came in not using the parsley for it’s flavour but for it’s chlorophyll!
Once I had that fixed in my mind then finding a way to incorporate it was an easier task. Chlorophyll is sensitive to heat so I decided to make the most of that and add it to a banana ice-cream. The ice-cream would taste like banana but to look at it you’d think it was mint or even green tea - if anything, because of the colour shift in a blind tasting, the flavour of banana is enhanced because you aren’t expecting it.
The process of making Chlorophyll is described in this post.
Green Banana Ice-Cream
200 grams soft, ripe bananas, cut into chunks
350 grams sheeps milk yoghurt
250 mls milk
130 grams caster sugar
Chlorophyll
Place the banana, yoghurt and caster sugar into a blender and process until smooth. Pour this out into and bowl and add the milk - whisk this until it’s well combined then store, covered, in the fridge until very cold.
Follow manufacturers instructions and pour into your ice-cream maker to churn - it should take about 20 minutes. Transfer into a freezer proof container and allow to set in the freezer.
I suppose I should add that the ice-cream succeeded - Chlorophyll successfully provided the colour-shift I had wanted and if I had desired I could have made it even “greener”. I look forward to having a bit of fun in confusing people with it.

Making Chlorophyll
May 31, 2007 Noticias
There are a few ways to distill Chlorophyll and I like this method prescribed by Sydney Chef Justin North in his book Bécasse.
It uses that much maligned variety of parsley - curly parsley
Chlorophyll
80 grams picked curly parsley leaves
6 cups water
Wash and dry the parsley leaves.
Place the leaves and water into a blender and process for a few minutes until it forms a bright green liquid.
Strain this through a fine sieve and pour into a saucepan. Over a low heat, stir constantly until you see green particles rising to the surface. It’s important that you do this slowly.
Pour this into a container along with a handful of ice and place in the fridge to cool.
This photos illustrates how the mixture will look when cooled - the chlorohyll has separated from the water, it looks very much like algae.
When cold, pour through a muslin lined sieve, don’t push the mix through let gravity do it’s job. Once drained you can throw away the water. Scrape as much of the green paste that is remaining on the muslin as possible and store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
This should give you about 2 tablespoons of Chlorophyll.

Developer week in (p)review
May 30, 2007 Noticias
By Andrew Bowers, Google Developer Programs
Google Developer Day is here! Our first worldwide developer event has kicked off in Sydney and won’t stop until it’s reached 10 locations around the world, finishing up 29 hours later at Google’s offices in Mountain View, California. If you can’t make it in person, you should try to catch one of the sessions online. We’re webcasting live sessions from London and California, and will post videos from all our events shortly afterwards on the Developer Day website.
Developer Day isn’t the only thing that’s kept us busy this week. We’ve also released a bunch of new products, which I’ll let the respective teams say more about. Here’s a roundup of some of this week’s releases:
- Learn about going offline with Google Gears, an open source browser extension for creating offline web applications.
- Make mashup of mashups with Mapplets, mini-applications that can be embedded into the Google Maps site.
- And it is mashups made easy with the Google Mashup Editor, an an online code editor for creating and deploying mashups.
- Watch as GWT Gears up with the Google API Library for Google Web Toolkit, an open source library to help GWT developers take advantage of Google APIs, starting with Google Gears.
- Just in time to get to San Jose, we added driving directions to the Google Maps API, giving developers even more ways to create compelling maps mashups.
Check them out, then come join us at Developer Day. See you here!

Blawg’s Blog Blawg Review
May 30, 2007 Noticias
Blawg’s Blog is hosting Blawg Review #111.
Law blog, legal blog, blawg…by any name, the numbers are growing…Blawg was started in December 2002 by Bill Gratsch. While not a blogger himself, Bill had stumbled across a few interesting and useful postings at various weblogs, but too often it seemed simply luck that he found good ones. There was little organization or structure to the blogosphere. With this in mind, Bill scoured the web looking for weblogs that focused on legal-oriented subject matter, with the idea of creating a law blog directory. He found 57. From lawyers writing about their area of expertise, to law librarians offering research tips and tricks, to law professors expressing their opinions and analysis, to technologists discussing the latest trends and ideas in legal technology, these law-oriented blogs or “blawgs,” were providing an early view of the changing dynamics for communication and collaboration within the legal community.
Fast forward to November 2006 and the growth in the number and variety of blawgs has created its own unique slice of the blogosphere, what some term the “blawgosphere.” And, the quality has never been better, with esteemed lawyers joining the ranks of law students, legal researchers and legal commentators in growing numbers. Add to this growth the continuing emergence of new technologies and tools to serve the practice of law and dissemination of legal information, and it is clear that change is now almost always just a matter of time.
With these trends in mind, Blawg will stay focused on what’s ahead and continue to try and deliver useful features and functions — whether connecting, collaborating or communicating — to the legal community. Stay tuned. Good stuff ahead.
