Dear Java Industry,

I leave you guys alone for one little year, and just look what happens!

While I was off gallivanting, NetBeans added a GPL license, switched to mercurial, and released a new version. The JDK also went mercurial on me. Google released their Android platform. Spring, Tapestry, Wicket, and GWT are all in new major releases.

Things sure to move quickly around here. I've got a lot to catch up on.

I'm like a kid in a candy store. I can't wait to play with it all!

Unfortunately, my laptop is broken. Anyone know a good laptop repair shop in the Seattle area?
