I’ve been working with Karl on answering the question of “who uses Dojo”. We still have work to do to clean this up, but for now, check out the first few entries of the Dojo Spotlight.

Apple’s new Spaces feature in Leopard is great, but it lacks many of the customization options I like in the Tiger extension Virtue Desktops. Torrey recently discovered Proxi.app, which allows you to modify hot keys, and much much more.

JavaScript appeared in Thursday’s Dilbert… so bizarre.

I noticed the recent post on drupal.org that Scripteka, a predominantly prototype-focused site, is based on Drupal. It’s of course worth mentioning that the Dojo Toolkit uses Drupal for its web site as well, and later this year, the other Dojo Foundation project sites will likely start using Drupal as well. Not that [...]

I’m happy to announce the launch of Comet Daily, a new site we’ve been working on to better explain Comet.
We have a number of great Comet developers writing original content for the site. Check it out and let us know what you think!

A new article, The Mojo of Dojo, by Matthew Russell (no relation to Alex) is now available, as is the short cut preview of his book, Get Up and Running with Dojo. These are great additions for learning about Dojo 1.0. The release candidate for 1.0 is due any hour now.

On the WebKit blog, Dave Hyatt announced that WebKit now has support for CSS Transforms. This is really interesting because it takes the matrix transformation possibilities from SVG, and moves them into CSS, allowing their application on any HTML element. I’d also bet that given WebKit and Safari 3’s solid SVG support, this [...]

It’s cool to see the Mozilla Prism announcement. It’s another entry to the “Desktop Apps with Web Technologies” section of my post on the Proliferation of Web App Platforms. Interesting that it is also announced the day Leopard comes out, with its enhanced Cocoa bindings and Dashcode support. I’m curious to see [...]

We returned from Italy recently… what an amazingly refreshing experience. Italy is an amazing country with the great combination of art, architecture, scenery, and cuisine. Fully recharged, there are a number of things we’ve been working on that are close to being announced:

Dojo Toolkit 1.0: After 3 plus years, we’re closing in on [...]

This is a rare non-tech post. Carrie and I have been touring around Italy for our one-year anniversary. When we return, we’ll post a full set on Flickr, but for now, here are a few shots from Milan, Cinque Terre, Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence:
The main cathedral in Milan.
The arcade in Milan.
