Introducing The Observatory

Yesterday Gregg Sporar, Roman Strobl and I launched The Observatory, a blog dedicated to those learning to use OpenSolaris. The last couple of my blog entries have been about OpenSolaris and I've been waiting for someone to ask: "Dude, what are you doing talking about OpenSolaris on a Java site?" Plus, this blog also feeds into Planet NetBeans and I don't necessarily want to piss off that community either.

In many respects, my role does not change, as I'm still going to talk about NetBeans and other technologies I've come to love like Rails. The difference is that I will be showing off the advantages of doing those things from OpenSolaris.
